Scrolling text box - jgauthier - 2017-01-06
I'm trying to implement a scrolling text box. Specifically, the text is going to be scrolling at uneven interval. (Song lyrics, like a karaoke machine).
I thought, I could get around this easily enough by building a small algorithm that compares the current line vs the entirety of the text, and scrolls to that percentage. However, using .scroll(percentage) results in the scrollbar always resetting to 0 before actually scrolling, which is unpleasant.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Well, it seems that changing the value of the textbox causes it to reset to position 0. This certainly makes sense, but makes it extremely difficult to accomplish my task.

I was able to achieve this almost perfectly with a list item. Then using selectItem() on the element scrolls right to it.
