i’m working on a project right now and its the first time i’m dynamically loading text from external files. that all went fine, but i’m using the scrollbar component that comes with flash and i want to customize it. the only parameters i see that you can change are the target and whether it vertically scrolls. is there a way to change the colors and look of the scrollbar? the default one looks like trash on my project. does anyone know of a good customizable scrollbar component if you can’t customize the default one?
