    Don't understand

    This tutorial is for the exact version of Flash MX I use. However, the person that created this has many parts that are hard to understand.
    http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-750/index.php

    Please, can someone send me a link to a tutorial that can teach me how to make scroll bars, so I can scroll text up and down.. I do not use flash 5, or mx2004, I use Flash MX. Please, I've been working on it for 4 hours now, it's 1:15am and I'm horribly frustrated and restless..
    I just need to figure out how to create a text field with scroll bar, or however you 'd like to say it..

    Create yourself a Dynamic Text box anywhere on your stage.

    There is a menu in Flash that has some usful attributes such as image window etc, select it from the windows menu in the top menu bar.

    Then drag and drop the scroll bar onto your text box and it will automaticaly assign itself to the box.

    Sorted.

    If you want to use the scrollbar component...

    Or you can have a look at this custom scroller with easing...

    AHA!!!

    AH! I can't believe it's that simple to create a text field with a scroll bar! Dynamic text box, multiline, and the scroll bar component.. Man, and to think I spent over 4 hours last night reading tut's.
    Well, I can't thank you guys enough, this is wonderful. However, it is time for me to read the rest of the Tut oldnewbie sent for importing .txt's!

    Thanks all!
