Re: [Dynapi-Help] Continuous Mouse Feedback

Well, I am pretty much a javascript newbie, but I'll throw my 1 cent in
here...
You can't get continuous feedback, but you could set a boolean value to true
when you get mouseOver and set it false when you get mouseOut.  Use that
boolean value to control scrolling rather than using the events directly and
you should get what you want...

var bScroll = false;

function onMouseOver()
{
    bScroll = true;
    RollText();
}

function onMouseOut()
{
    bScroll = false;
}

function RollText()
{
    while(bScroll)
        //code to scroll goes here
}


Im not sure you would want to do it exactly like that, but like I said, Im a
newbie : )
