So I’ve been having a great time mixing and matching all kinds of source code and applying it to my design. Here’s an interesting problem and an awesome dynamic css text box with a blur scroller and ease for everyone… So in the 2.0 forum I was trying to figure out how to set a dynamic text box to expand with it’s contents… figured that one out: myHtml\_txt.autoSize = true; myHtml\_txt being the instance name of your dynamic text box… Then I tried to use this awesome scroll bar I got a hold of with it… I tried it out and it looks like a bad idea, FLash kind of chokes on it, and I’m on a brand new G5 (got to love workin for the university…), so I can only imagine how bad it would choke a slow computer. anyways, if anyone wants to play with it give it a shot… I think I may just cut the shows and news sections down to like 2000 pixels long and put a link to archives at the bottom of each MC (for a band’s site) unless someone can get it to run smoothly. [http://www.efcmusic.com/rob/scrolldaddies.zip](http://www.efcmusic.com/rob/scrolldaddies.zip) ‘blurscroll2’ works nicely… then try ‘blurscroll’ to see what I mean about it breaking. The difference is in the ‘scrollme’ files, look for t.autoSize = true; sorry aif this is incoherent but just open it up and you get a css styled dynamic text box with a kick \*\*\* scroll bar. what more could you want in a txt scroller? maybe I’m naive and too excited, but I feel like you could all use this.
