I needed a scrollbar, as quick as possible, for a dynamic textfield. So i grabbed one from the components panel. then I remembered I saw a tutorial some time ago, written by Kirupa, that explained how to do scrollbars on a dynamic textfield with loaded text. So I checked it out…
But before I started the tut I just threw the scrollbar on the textfield to see what part wouldn’t work BUT… it all worked perfectly ! So after all, dynamic or static. There’s no difference in use for the scrollbar component.
strange, not?

Kirupa also has a tutorial for a scrollbar with text that is entered directly into the text box, instead of dynamically through AS or an external source file.
It can be found here…
