When applied, it allows the user to click anywhere in the track to advance the thumb in large increments toward the mouse click spot.

property pMyDirection    -- options are Horizontal and Vertical
property pMyIncrement    -- number of pixels that the thumb sprite will advance per click
property pThumbSprite    -- the sprite number for the scroll thumb
property pThumbRange     -- the range of motion for the Thumb sprite
global gScrollV          -- amount scroll has been incremented Vertically from initial value
global gScrollH          -- amount scroll has been incremented Horizontally from initial value
