Hey,  
Im trying to make a scroll bar in Flash MX 2004  
I followed this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/textscroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/textscroller.htm)

but when i got the the part where you darg-and-drop the scroll bar component over top of your text box, it is supposed to automatically resize, but mine does not,and i have tried everything, it doesnt work,

what am i doing wrong?

I definatly make a text box, and have dynamic text selected,  
HELP!! plzz

Im trying to improve my dodgy website [www.missjanneke.com](http://www.missjanneke.com) and create a flash version instead…  
its coming along very slowly.
