I'm not sure why you'd want something like this, maybe you can give a little more information about your idea? The only thing I picture is text scrolling continuously downward so a user can continue reading it, instead of interacting with the scroll bar. Is something like that what you're looking for? If so, and the user would have no interaction with the slide, you could have the text (or other content) in a document and use the screen recorder as you scroll down in the document and insert this as a video.
Again, not sure how this would be used Give us a little more information and maybe we can help!
Basically I have a slide that has a scroll bar with a lot of information, and instead of the user scrolling themselves, I'd like the scroll bar to move by itself.
What type of content is in the scrolling window? Is it text? You could certainly try the suggestion I mentioned above, of you could create layers and display them at different times along the timeline. I'm not sure how smooth this effect would be though, using a screen recording would probably end up being more appealing.
I'm not aware of a tutorial for that specific example, but there is some information on an effect like this using JavaScript. However, I won't even begin to pretend like I know anything about JavaScript
Take a look at it here, though, maybe this will help.

Hi Elizabeth,

Hi Christine, thank you for getting back to me.
Basically I have a slide that has a scroll bar with a lot of information, and instead of the user scrolling themselves, I'd like the scroll bar to move by itself.
Does that help better?
Yes, thank you

I actually would probably need to use the different layer and trigger effect.
Is there a tutorial for this or could you let me know how to do this?

Thank you so much for the help
No problem! I'm curious to see what you end up using. If you find any other tricks, please share
Why not try this?
Scrolling video in a scroll panel - click on the "video scene", (it is a bit rough and ready....)

PS - I used the "Bacon Ipsum" site to generate the text, so apologies if you are a vegetarian!
PPS - used Storyline Screen capture and a Scroll on my mouse, inserting it as a self-running video into the Scrolling Panel.
