I have an external file for the text content...

The text shows up and the mouse wheel works, but the scroll bar doesn't do anything

The text box is set as a movie clip

Any Suggestions?

Hello,

You must use an ActionScript method to resize the scrollbars. Just insert instance_name_of_the_scroller.cDimCheck(); after youve modified the size of your text field. Please check the products documentation for more information and how to use tutorials for the actionscript properties and methods of the Creative Flash Scroller.

Kind regards,

Where do I add instance_name_of_the_scroller.cDimCheck(); ?

The text field, the scroller or the scroll area?

Thanks!

Hello Bob,

You can add that line of code directly on the frame's actionscript, or where you load the external text into the text field.

Kind regards,

Got it to work...I had to keep the elements on the same layer

Now some of the text does not appear when scrolling down

Thanks!

Hello,

Maybe the textfield you are trying to insert the text into is not tall enough for it to contain the entire text. Try increasing the height and see if the text appears.

If the problem persists please send us an email at support@extendstudio.com with a .fla file, with the problem,attached.

Best regards,
