Sure. The easiest way to do this is to turn off the field's 
hScrollbar, and put both field and buttons in a group with a single 
horizontal scrollbar. That way, the relationship is maintained 
automatically because all the contents of the group - field and 
buttons - scroll together.

(When you create this group, you'll need to expand the field width to 
its maximum width, because it will no longer have an independent 
scrollbar of its own - so the field will probably be wider than the 
card. You should also set the lockLoc of the group to true, to lock 
its size; otherwise, every time you display the card, the group will 
expand to fit its contents.)
