Unfotunately Flash 5ers have to build their entire scrollbars from scratch (coding and all), which is why that tutorial is so long.
Where, with MX, all you have to do is drag a premade scrollbar onto your text box and you have a scrolling text box. Simple and easy.
I don’t think you will have much luck in finding a shorter tutorial. And the other one I found is in German.

Ok, thanks mate
how long is the german one??
because if it is shorter then i shall just translate it.
Also if i made one scroller, is it possible for me to copy and paste it everywhere else, but just change the txt format for it to load??

Nope, the German one isn’t that much shorter.
My footer is made with images in Photoshop that I exported as .png and imported into Flash. Then I just applied mouse follow with inertia. No masking here.

hehe, sorry. Basically I drew my pictures in Photoshop and put them in Flash. Then I had the pictures follow the mouse, and slowly slow down as they approach the position.
It is good that you learned how to make the scrolling text:)

That teaches the basic way on having something follow your mouse.
I used something that more or less looked like
this._x = _xmouse
(this x coordinate position = the x position of your mouse pointer)
