I suspect that iOS tweens scrolling. It doesn't get scroll changes any more often than LiveCode, but it tweens the values rather than jumping to the newly reported value. That can give the illusion that it is getting more events, or handling them quicker.
Try this as a button script: on mouseUp scrollto 1,random(1000) end mouseUp and have one field on the card, with no scrollbars showing, but lots of text in it. Put this script into the card: local scrollcount,scrolldiff,scrollingfield,currentscroll,finalscroll on scrollto pFld,pScroll put pScroll into finalscroll put pFld into scrollingfield put the scroll of field pFld into currentscroll put (pScroll-currentscroll)/10 into scrolldiff put 10 into scrollcount scrollsome end scrollto on scrollsome subtract 1 from scrollcount if scrollcount < 1 then set the scroll of field scrollingfield to finalscroll exit scrollsome end if add scrolldiff to currentscroll set the scroll of field scrollingfield to round(currentscroll) send "scrollsome" to me in 1 ticks end scrollsome It randomly scrolls the field, pretty smoothly. So, don't scroll to the new value, just update a variable and then scroll towards that value 60 times per second. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
