Hi Kirupa,

First, I would like to compliment you for your Site. It is really great and it help me a lot to learn more about Flash 5.

Now, I have a problem about basic text scroller. I created a draggable box ( which is a movie clip) so when I clicked a button this box will show up. Inside this box I want to have a scrolling text ( which is also a movie clip ). When I test the movie, my draggle box works fine but my scrollable test do not work at all. I followed that directions how to create this scrolling text and it works fine but when I make this inside a movie clip it don’t work.

Am I doing something work? Please let me know.

Thank you.
