It's simple enough.

Make the text member so it's framing property is adjust to fit or
something.
Dump it on screen.

THen on your up arrow have some code like:

on mouseUp

sprite(textsprite).locV = sprite(textsprite).locV - 10

end

On your down arrow have some code like:

on mouseUp

sprite(textsprite).locV = sprite(textsprite).locV + 10

end

where textsprite is the sprite channel containing the text member.
You'll need to clip the values so the text doesn't scroll
indefinately, but that's just a simple check.
