I remember something about this early in my LC career. I want to
lock-step scrolling among a dozen or more fields.
The scrollBarDrag message in one field does the trick:
on scrollbarDrag
lock screen
repeat with y = 3 to 15
set the scroll of fld y to the scroll of me
end repeat
unlock screen
end scrollbarDrag
But is this the best way? I sort of remember that a group worked
better, but am not sure how to implement this. It is not just a
matter of adding a scrollbar to a group of scrolling fields. That
works quite differently.
Make the fields non-scrolling, group them, and set them all to the
formattedheight of the longest one. (You may need to realign the tops.)
Set the group to use a vertical scrollbar, and it will scroll all the
fields automatically without any scripts. It's also a little smoother
and more efficient than the scripted method.
