That function is meant to start a scrolling animation ? LocalScroll is meant to be called to "prepare" the field, that is, bound events that will eventually trigger scrolling. ScrollTo is the one to call for an instant scroll.
You either call LocalScroll at start, or ScrollTo manually if you want to do all that yourself. Note that the 'target' property needs to be the scrollable element. If you have a demo online, it'll be easier to pull this out.
