What are hSscroll, vScroll really?

Actually, the concept of text scrolling within a field is universal, iMHO; the concept of any old collection of objects scrolling in a (possibly invisible) frame, less so. My problem, apart from general dumbness, was my inability to see that the two cases are essentially the same.

I agree about the iOS scroller issues, although I did read something about it perhaps in some early release notes. I think there may also be some subtleties to be explained about the possible values returned by scrollerDidScroll, if anyone wants to attempt a clearer write-up!

Thanks for the response, as ever.

What I do think is missing in the case of mobile scrollers is a specific statement about how it is a transparent overlay that only sends information about user actions; it doesn't actually manage objects on the card.
