how do i create a scrolbarl? ive created 2 buttons one of them i want to scroll the text up and the other one i want to scroll the text down. What this is is basicly my own scroll bar. Also i have another question how come ALPHA doesnt work on text? May be im just doing something wrong. Ive got a movie clip where at some point i want the text box with text in it to appear. Ive change the alpha to 0 but it still shows up no matter what. How do i fix that? ---

Text is special. Never works the way you expected. You can try and turn it into a movie clip, or break it apart, but then you won’t be able to modify it anymore, so that’s not a very good solution. By the way, if you’re using MX, scrollbars are already made for you.
