I find the content throughout Kirupa extremely easy to follow and well written. Thanks for all the help so far!

[size=3]I followed [font=Verdana][color=#003366]Applying[/color][/font][/size][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#003366][size=3] CSS to Externally Loaded Text [/size][size=3][color=black]to create what I wanted and it so far looks great. There are 2 Q’s I have:

1. Is there a good way to customize the scrollbar component? In general, I like the way it looks (i want to change the colors) but will make my own up/down buttons if I must.

2. I would also like to include graphics (75x42 thumbnails) and URL links as part of my dynamic text. How can I add these? Stupidly, I assumed (we know what that leads to) that since my external text file uses html with css tags, I could simply include \<img src\> and \<a href\> tags as well. that clearly was a bad assumption. Is there a slick way to pull this off?

My Action Script is just as the tutorial lists with slight custom names to variables and files.
