Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me what the error is in this ActionScript provided by Kirupa? I do the tutorial exactly and when I test it, the scrollface (bar) starts in the center of the scrolltrack and continues past the end point (It’s like the x and y postition is totally off!). The up and down buttons work great. Technically, this is a good tutorial, but there is a problem in the ActionScript somewhere. Can anyone help with this? Here is the link to get to Kirupa tutorial:

Here is the ActionScript provided. I used AS2, but if anyone has a better AS2 or AS3 code, I’d be happy to use it. THANKS!!
