I do the same thing in one of my stacks.  I have an idle handler in the
card (could be anywhere above this) script.  It says:

on idle
	set the scroll of field n to the scroll of field n2
end idle

Of course, you will probably want to set more than one additional field, but
the idle message is where you should handle it.
