Here's another solution, that does not require mouselocs, and thus allows flexible resizing of fields. Identical script in each field: (let's say there are 3 of them) on mousewithin global thetarget, thescroll put the target into thetarget put the scroll of me into thescroll set lockmessages to true doscroll set lockmessages to false end mousewithin In the card or background or stack script goes the doscroll handler: on doscroll global thetarget,thescroll if thetarget is "card field id 1" then set the scroll of card field id 2 to thescroll set the scroll of card field id 3 to thescroll else if thetarget is "card field id 2" then set the scroll of card field id 1 to thescroll set the scroll of card field id 3 to thescroll else if thetarget is "card field id 3" then set the scroll of card field id 2 to thescroll set the scroll of card field id 1 to thescroll end if end doscroll Get a MacII if you want this to be fast enough to be acceptable!! (About a second to get all three equivalent).

It's been a while since I did this, but I would suggest surrounding doScroll's
body with "set lockscreen to false...set lockscreen to true". I also had
to call doScroll from a mouseLeave handler; I found that otherwise I could
scroll one field, and get the cursor out of the field before the next
mouseWithin message got sent. To me, it looked like there was a one-second
interval between mouseWithins, as opposed to doScroll taking one second.
