Hey there

If you want to make a scrollbar, I recommend that you get an open .fla of what you’re looking for and study the h@!! out of it. It works for me anyway. Here’s a good tut that’ll get you in the right direction:

[Creating a Text that uses Scrollbuttons and a Scrollbar](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Creating-Patrick_-532/index.shtml)

You can download the .fla and manipulate it as you see fit. Don’t forget to soak up the info along the way!
