teleprompter application- reverse text, smooth scrolling?

[Josh Mellicker]

This script:

     repeat with v = 1 to 300
         set the vScroll of fld "operatorText" to v
     end repeat

scrolls a field up, but is too slow... any way to speed a loop up?


I have also tried

ON keepPrompting
     set the vScroll of fld "promptText" to the vScroll of fld  
"promptText" + 1
     send keepPrompting to me in 0 milliseconds
END keepPrompting

which seems about as slow...


Any ideas?


(these are not actual scripts, but tests... the app varies scroll  
speed with a mouse scroll wheel)
