In flash MX 2004 there is no scrollbar component.  
In an aplication I am making, I don’t want to use to many components, so I want to make a dynamic textbox scroll. I took the tutorial here, but it dosen’t explain how to make the draggy bit in the middle. Can anyone help me? Does anyone know? – Thanks, Mister B.

Look up the scroll properties of the TextField Class.  
Code could be like this:

upButton\_btn.onPress = function() {  
pressing = true;  
movement = -1;  
};  
upButton\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
pressing = false;  
};  
downButton\_btn.onPress = function() {  
pressing = true;  
movement = 1;  
};  
downButton\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
pressing = false;  
};  
\_root.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (pressing==true) {  
scrollWindow\_txt.scroll = scrollWindow\_txt.scroll + movement  
}  
};

//Each row of text has an index value. The top row is 1 and the one below is 2 and so on…  
I hope this helps

It isn’t the buttons which are a problem, and that is the code, but I just don’t know where to begin with the drag-bar-bit. can anyone help?
