i’ve just finished reading the scrolling dynamically loaded text tutorial and created my own scroll bar in my flash but i was wondering if the color of this could be changed…? or would you have to make the scroll bar through a different way? thx for your help ---

click on it and look in properties dunno if its there if it isnt right click on the scrollbar and click edit then just change the colour of each bit should be pretty self explanitary some of the layers might be locked unlock em and just edit the colour of each bit -Tom p.s if u cant do it like that then look in the actionscript and find the hex value e.g. 000000 and change it to ur colour [http://www.html-codes.com](http://www.html-codes.com) i think otherwise search for the site ---

Try the building a form with components tutorial by Ilyas. It uses a Flash type of CSS thing where you can change the different colors. ---

You should insert the script above in your \_root (main) timeline, this will change **All** your components color in your movie, so once you set the Hex colors in the script, you’ll find all of them had been changed! yours, h88 ---

0x is there so Flash can define and convert the hexadecimal value to the color. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/changing-color-of-made-scroll-bar/8446.md?page=2)
