Hi there,  
I am out of ideas how can i do this. I have a external loaded swf in a scrollpane. I want the user to create an area (like a rectange tool area) over a part of this swf. I need to make it throught code on a click event of some button. but I have no clue what to be this area (I will convert it to movie clip after).  
Any ideas ?  
something ?
