I’m a naked newbie to Flash, but would like help with getting the Flash MX text scrollbox (I made from a tutorial here) into my Dreamweaver MX pages for the site I’m trying to finish.
It’s driving me crazy…I can finish if I could just get this scrollbox with text into Dreamweaver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You want to put a text box with scrolbars from flash into dreamweaver mx?
If so, export the movie in flash. Open DMX. Click Insert -> Media -> Flash
Point the right path to the flash swf file
there it is
I have to ask…
If you are just doing the scrolling text, why dont you just throw that in an iframe or a scrollable div tag instead of making a whole .swf file for it? It would make for much easier updating :-\
Or is it more than just the scrollable text?
you can make scrollable div tags? how?
Yeah, you can. I believe it works in both NS and IE now as well…
<DIV STYLE="width: 100; height:100; overflow:auto;">
asd
fa
sdf
asdf
a
sdf
asdf
asd
f
</DIV>
Something like that should do it
no, sheet! awesome
If you can… please test that, it looks correct to me, but its 2am, i’m kinda tired, and I typed it on the spot, so it could be wrong 
whaaaaaat! I’ve been wondering if there was a way to do all that without using Iframes… Thanks lost.
yeah it worked…
here’s the link:

iframes are best for content you will dynamically change (ie loading new pages in), scrollable divs are good for pages that you just want a scrollable area of text/html on.
Nice lost
I didnt know dat!
thx =)
HEY, THANKS CLAUDIO!!!:thumb:
I did exactly what you said and IT WORKED!!!
Oh my God, what a life saver. Thank you sooooooooooooomuch!!!
Thanks to you too, lostinbeta, but this idiot does not know what you mean by iframe and div…I have so much to learn.:-\
Finally, I can take a break.
Thanks again:)
<IFRAME SRC="htmlFileToLoad.html"></IFRAME>
Theres a simple example of an iframe.
And the simple example of the div is above.
They are HTML coding, if you are going to be doing websites you will definitely need to know HTML

lostinbeta and claudio,
Thanks for your help and support. I know I have so much to learn and I am running as fast as I can. I only recently discovered what Flash was and some of what it can do. I am so excited, but have a very long way to go, I know.
Thanks much!!! :beam:
Well good luck in your journey to learning 
With AS questions I recommend using the forum search feature, or searching kirupa.com. Also if you know what you are looking for specifically google can be very useful.
If you can’t find your answers feel free to ask, but I recommend searching first to have a chance to save you and others time (you from having to wait for a reply and having to try different things out, and others from having to try and figure it out).
