Do you want to control the scroll or have be automatic?

For a scroll on off approach Andy's and Willy's comment are probably the best.

For manually control (like scroll buttons or a scroll bar) you would make your static text into a MC then group that MC with a rectangle that covers the amount of text you want visible. In the group with the rectangle and text MC make the rectangle the top object and select Object -> Top Object Is Mask. Then make scroll buttons to move the text MC up or down by say 5 pixels at a time. You could make a loop that allows the user to hold down the button. That scrolling technique is explained in the dynamic text example from LMCentral you mentioned earlier (I believe). It could be applied here too. Let me know if this help put you on the right path.

If you need a little help with the scripting part make a sample file set up like I explained and post it.
