    scroll bar and multiple textfields

    I'm looking for a way or should I say the correct way to attach a scroll bar to multiple textfields. Is there a way to do that or whats the correct way to make that happen. I've got a mc that has multiple text fields all named the same instance. I drag a scroll bar component on stage and give it the target of the instance for the text fields and nothing.

    Suggestions?

    thats what I have, I have one mc that has 10-13 textfields. Then I created another MC with a scroll pane that links to the textfields MC. but the text wont fit to size in the scroll pane, all the textfields together is larger that the scrollpane but I need to keep the scroll pane a certain size so it fits within my movie.

    thats what I thought, I've used scrollpanes before and it always conforms to size to fit the mc, I don't know if its because I'm using dynamic textfields or what, I can create one giant single textfield and then use scroll buttons but I'm not trying to do that.

    I want a scrollpane that holds an mc and not have the text overlapping the scrollpane.

    just make sure that all characters are embedded for every textfield. U set that up in the property panel.
