Hi chaps and chapesses,

is the scroll component limited to textboxes or could i use it to scroll an mc?

i’d like to build my own thumbnail gallery and i’m thinking that i’d load all the gallery images into an mc, in rows of 3 across then down for as many images as there are. the mc would be masked to show only the 3 rows across plus the first x rows down… hence the scroller would be needed

what i’m really asking then is: can i use flash’s scroll component (and how) or do i need to make my own scroller?
