Hi
I want to create a long list of buttons (longer than the stack) and then be able to scroll them up and down. I've seen various solutions but so far none have worked. I want to create this app for both android and iphone so something that works on both would be best. I would also like to have the momentum scrolling effect so if you scroll with a flick it keeps on going for a short period of time. Another thing is I have buttons at the top and bottom of the screen which I don't want to move, but i assume these are fine if they aren't in the same group as the scrolling buttons.
Could someone please give me a concise answer on how to code this.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Hi Matthew,
How about this lesson?

I had seen this but this doesn't include 'momentum' scrolling which I want to include as it is a key feature of the app so needs to look nice.

hmmm... I'm seeing momentum
If you mean by momentum it keeps scrolling after a flick.

Oh ok, sorry, I'm quite new, so couldn't see the code for it, is it all within the bit below?:
on scrollerDidScroll hOffset, vOffset
// When the user scrolls move the displayed content
set the vScroll of group "scrollArea" to vOffset
end scrollerDidScroll

Matthew

Not sure that's the only bit of code. While it does move the field I think that the native scroller does the momentum by it self.

I completed this tutorial, but it has created a scroller which is really slow and doesn't work half of the time, can someone please suggest a solution.

Hi Matthew,
Did you test this on a device or just the simulator?
Simulator is much less accurate.

Simon

I tested it on my Galaxy Ace
