Scrollbar for Flash content

[Egan311]

Is there an easy way to create a scrollbar to scroll all of the content inside a flash movie? I'm not talking about scrolling text or images, but the whole movie.

Maybe if the content is 800 pixels tall but I want the movie to be 600 pixels tall?

An example here ---> http://www.pierinc.com/

use ScrollPane component

Easiest way to do this:

• Drag and drop scroll pane component from components window
• Change the size uzing transform tool
• In your library locate the movie clip you want to show in scrollable area and pres RMB on it
• Choose linkage
• Add tick on export for action script and remove tick from export in first frame
• Drag and drop scrollable movie somwhere on the stage where it wouldnt be visible
• click on scrollpane component that is on the stage
• Select parameters and in contentPath line add the identifyer that was used for your exported movie
• test the movie

this should work it did for me many times

Thanks for your help. I'll try it out......

When I use this method, the buttons and links inside the movie clip no longer work. Is there a way to do this, but keep all the interactive components?

Thanks!
