scrolling dynamic text

[fiveonenine]

Is there a reason why my dynamic text box won't scroll? I have a scroller and static text works fine but when I replace it with a dynamic text box do all that jazz it comes up blank. any help would be great. Also is there a way to put pictures in a dynamic text box or anything else related to that? Thanks

Use a scroolpane for pictures and text:

Try this...
Hi! I had posted this on another forum as advice. You might want to review the following...perhaps try again following these steps.


Select the text tool, and in the properties panel, select 'dynamic text'.
Now, draw your text box the size you want it. You can always change the width & height of your text box later within the properties panel.
Now specify the font size, colour & alignment.
In the text properties panel, choose 'multiline'. Also, give an instance name.
Select the text box and right click and choose 'scrollable'.
Double-click the text field, place the cursor in there and type away!

To add the scroll bar, open your components panel...find the one called Scroll Bar and drag it to the stage; but near the text box so that it snaps to the right hand side. You'll know when it's snapped.

When you test it, it will be active.

Hope that can help you!
