I have seen on lots of sites when you scroll up or down, the text or content scrolls in a gravitational manner. Like when you scroll and let go, the content smoothly stops rather than a hault.  
Here’s what I mean:

go there and click the storyboards link and you 'll see what I mean.

How easy is this to implement on a dynamic text box using the standard scrollbar component? Is there a tutorial or .fla that I can check out?  
Thanks!

It involves making your own scroll bar which is sorta complicated. I don’t think you can do it with the components.

[www.cruciallimit.com](http://www.cruciallimit.com) has an open source file of a similar scroller.

Thanks guys…only prob is that it doesn’t support dynamic text. I can live without it for a while. Appreciate the link though 🙂

Sure it does jtesp. But dynamic text doesn’t work under a mask UNLESS you embed the font outline (right click, open properties panel, click on “Character…” button)
