[RESOLVED] MX - AS2 - Please help me tweak my scrolling text box!

[fantome]

I'm adding a CV to a friend's website, and I really need help with the custom scroller I made from a tutorial.

I'm a newb with Flash, and still getting my feet wet, so any help is greatly appreciated!

I followed a shoddy tutorial, (lost the link) and I have the navigation I require, but can't figure out how to insert the actual text from the CV.

Here's the FLA for that file:

ALTERNATELY, I have another scroller that is functional via up/down buttons, (but tediously, only 1 line at a time) and with the up/down keys on the keyboard.

I would need to:

-Add a scrollbar
-Allow for multiple-line scrolling with the up/down btns

the FLA of my scroll box thus far:

I have a feeling it would be much easier to just figure out how to add the text to the first FLA I pasted, but I also included the other one I have just in case. I need to have this done on my end ASAP, so any help is sincerely appreciated!!!

Bump.
Anyone have some insight on how to add text to my scroller?
As mentioned in the original post, I am not sure why I cannot add text to the scroller.

Thanks

this is for FINAL_SCROLLCV.fla

add a blank movieclip to the stage
add this code to the movieclip (Actions panel to show - Actions:Movie Clip)

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.up==true){
currentScroll = _root.scrollableText.scroll;
if(Number(currentScroll)>1){_root.scrollableText.scroll = currentScroll-1;}
}

if(_root.down==true){
currentScroll = _root.scrollableText.scroll;
if (Number(currentScroll)<Number(_root.scrollableText.maxscroll)) {
_root.scrollableText.scroll = Number(currentScroll)+1;
}
}
} 

on the up button -

on (press) {
_root.up = true;
}

on(release){
_root.up = false;
} 

on the down button -

on (press) {
_root.down = true;
}

on (release) {
_root.down = false;
}

At the risk of sounding completely daft, I don't exactly know where to apply the code. I'm still green, and not entirely familiar/comfortable with the hierarchy just yet.

I took a stab at it, screwed it up and had to revert to my saved version.

My apologies in advance. You've been nothing but the picture of patience thus far.

Wow, you're fantastic! A million thanks!
I'm now scrambling to find a trial version of MX04 so I can save down to MX.

***later edit

Perhaps someone out there with MX2004 can save the attachment in post #5 down to MX for me??!
