    Hi,

    Well I'm making a website with 3DFA but I can't get the scrollbar to work....
    I made my html text, selected "export as dynamic html" and then made a scrollbar, but the scrollbar keeps saying there are "no text elements to choose"

    I uploaded the .movie file as an attachement. I hope this can help you...

    The scrollbar and text should be in "Slideshow 16" - "Slide 2"

    Thanks in advance!

    I got it to work by putting the edit box and scroll bar in a child movie (not a layer but a movie). Then the scroll bar could see the element.

    I don't know why exactly this works but my guess is that the scroll bar looks for these elements in the root of the current movie reguardless of whether the current movie is the root or a child.

    In place of a space use &nbsp; (the non-breaking space).

    So using <u>test this</u> would give you test this using <u>test&nbsp;this</u> should give you test this.

    thnx a lot!
    That worked!

    One more thing I just discovered...

    When I view the webpage I made in my browser,everything looks fine,
    but when someone else on his computer looks at it, there are some things that are not right...
    the (temporary) URL is: Click here
    (It's solved now by using the ARIAL font)
    On the intro page below => ENTE SITE => On Mouseover ENTER SITE, with the R Below the menu...
    When I look at the site on my computer everything looks fine...
    Can someone please help?

    I think it has something to do with uninstalled Fonts on other computers...
    If that's true, it would suck because I have a lot of special fonts wich I won't be able to use anymore...Or am I wrong?

    hey, I really like your site. I was wondering what font do you use for the opening text animation?

    Black Chancery is the used font on the intro page....

    Still I'm wondering why it isn't possible to use my other imported fonts...I have about 300 extra fonts which I can't use because they will be visible as "broken" arial text on other computers which haven't installed the extra fonts...

    I assume your using the font in an editbox. Click the export font outlines or whatever it is. If using regular text shouldn't matter as they are converted to shapes upon export
