If your using flash MX, open the componets panel and drag out the scroll bar.

then create a dynamic text field by using the text tool and changing its propeties in the propeties panel to a dynamic type

next grab the scroll bar and drag and drop it onto the text field, it will resize its self accordingly, and thats all there is to it.:rambo:
