Dynamic Text Scroller

So I’ve spent hours on this, and will be grateful beyond belief if someone can help me.

I followed this example, and the txt scroller bar is white with no controls. What am I doing wrong?

Im pretty sure in Flash 8 you don’t need the scrollbar component, the textarea component uses it automatically when needed. Don’t have Flash 8 here though
