    Scrollbar Issue

    I'm probably missing one little stupid thing...but I have a dynamic text box that loads my txt files. I add the scrollbar component and it references the box fine, but won't scroll for some reason.... anyone know what I'm missing?

    Is the text area set to mulitline..?, problem also might happen if its under a mask in which case u might need to embed the font.

    Right sorted

    If your loading the text if from a external source u need to make sure the text is loaded before the scroller is activated.
    What i do!
    first frame
    "as" action:
    load txt file
    second frame run a loop that checks to see if the text is loaded. If so goto next frame wich holds the textfield and scroller.

    If you need code gimmie a shout

    I could use the code. Most likely that is what the issue is. I have different text per button...so I would put the script in each button right?
