How do you tell if a scrolling frame has reached the end..?

I’m attempting to make a scrolling frame that goes right to left, and left to right automatically if it’s able to…

  • How would you detect if a scrolling frame is scrollable?,
  • How would you detect if a scrolling frame has reached the end?,
  • How would you detect if a scrolling frame has reached the beginning?

Local Script

Inside of the ScrollingFrame

local DEB = false
repeat
	task.wait()
	repeat
		warn(script.Parent.CanvasPosition)
		warn(script.Parent.AbsolutePosition)
		script.Parent.CanvasPosition = Vector2.new(script.Parent.CanvasPosition.X + 50,script.Parent.CanvasPosition.Y)
		task.wait(1)
	until script.Parent.CanvasPosition == script.Parent.AbsolutePosition
	
	repeat
		script.Parent.CanvasPosition = Vector2.new(script.Parent.CanvasPosition.X - 50,script.Parent.CanvasPosition.Y)
		task.wait(1)
	until script.Parent.CanvasPosition.X == 0 
	
until script.Disabled

How would you detect if a scrolling frame is scrollable?
Check if the ScrollingFrame’s AbsoluteCanvasSize (both x and y) are greater than its AbsoluteSize

How would you detect if a scrolling frame has reached the end?
Check if the ScrollingFrame is scrollable and its AbsoluteCanvasSize minus its CanvasPosition equals it’s AbsoluteSize

How would you detect if a scrolling frame has reached the beginning?
Check if the ScrollingFrame is scrollable and its CanvasPosition is equal to Vector2.new() (0)

local IsScrollable = false
if ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteCanvasSize.X > ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteSize.X or ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteCanvasSize.Y > ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteSize.Y then
  -- ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteCanvasSize > ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteSize --> Comparing Vector2 error
  print("Scrollable")
  IsScrollable = true
end

...

if IsScrollable and ScrollingFrame.CanvasPosition == Vector2.new() then 
  print("Beginning")
end

...

if IsScrollable and ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteCanvasSize - ScrollingFrame.CanvasPosition == ScrollingFrame.AbsoluteSize then
  print("End")
end

if anyone knows an easier way let me know
