it has unfortunetly been excluded from mx 2k4, but you can always retrieve them from old mx files:

[http://kirupa.rastardesigns.com/dynScroll.fla](http://kirupa.rastardesigns.com/dynScroll.fla)

or you can use the textarea component. (i don’t recommend it)

the file that is posted is for Flash MX 2004 (you said you were having problems opening the file). But as an alternative you can download the whole component set from [Macromedia.com](http://Macromedia.com) (MM) Look for a section named “Exchange”.
