globalStyleFormat.arrow = 0x003366;  
globalStyleFormat.check = 0x003366;  
globalStyleFormat.track = 0xFFFFFF;  
globalStyleFormat.background = 0xAAAAAA;  
globalStyleFormat.darkshadow = 0x666666;  
globalStyleFormat.shadow = 0xEEEEEE;  
globalStyleFormat.highlight = 0xEEEEEE;  
globalStyleFormat.highlight3D = 0xAAAAAA;  
globalStyleFormat.face = 0xF7F7F7;  
globalStyleFormat.applyChanges();

This is the code that you’ll put on your scrollbar’s keyframe. Change the color settings as you want…

P.S.= Sorry for my English, but I’m italian…
