A scroll barless scroller. Works horizontally or vertically with pretty much any sprite. Can scroll "lock" sprites along with the main one for layered effects (embedded images, etc).

-- DeadC, a scroller -- By Warren "The Howdy Man" Ockrassa, warren@nightwares.com -- This scrolls text onscreen without scrollbars -- Drag and drop to invoke the GPDL -- Parameters: --  Sprite to Scroll -- self-explanatory; automatically selected when behavior is invoked --  Accelerated Scroll -- the scroll will move faster the farther the cursor is dragged off initial mousedown locV --  Acceleration Modifier -- the lower the number, the faster the acceleration for the scroll --  Scrolling background/frame -- used to determine when the sprite's gone out of frame --  Decelerate on mouseUp -- gradually decelerates the scroll when the user lets the mouse up --  Bounce deceleration -- How rapidly the sprite bounces back when it hits the frame border --  Vertical Scroll -- true by default; can be unchecked for horizontal scroll instead --  Scroll other sprites -- "lock" other sprites so they scroll at the same time as the current one --  Other sprites to scroll -- a list of the other sprites to be locked into this one's scroll on GetBehaviorDescription     sContent = "This scrolls text onscreen without scrollbars." & RETURN & RETURN & "Parameters include scroll acceleration and the ability to scroll horizontally or vertically."   return sContent   END GetBehaviorDescription on GetBehaviorTooltip     sContent = "This scrolls text onscreen without scrollbars." & RETURN & RETURN & "Parameters include scroll acceleration and the ability to scroll horizontally or vertically."   return sContent   END GetBehaviorTooltip PROPERTY pnSpriteToScroll, pbAcceleratedScrollEnable, pnAccelerationModifier, pbVerticalScroll, pnStartForSlowDown, pbDecelerate, pnFrameSprite, pnBounceDeceleration, pbEmbeddedSprites, plEmbedSprites, plEmbeddedLocList on beginSprite me     pnSpriteToScroll = the currentSpriteNum   plEmbedSprites = value ( plEmbedSprites )     if pbEmbeddedSprites then         plEmbeddedLocList = []         repeat with nEmbed = 1 to count ( plEmbedSprites )       nSprite = getAt ( plEmbedSprites, nEmbed )             -- calculate the starting positions of the "embedded" sprites relative to the starting position of the "main" one       if pbVerticalScroll then                 add ( plEmbeddedLocList, sprite(nSprite).locV -
