I did this tutorial ( [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple\_dynamictext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm) )and it works beautifully… but I was wondering, since it looks like there is supposed to be a scroll bar attached, how to get it to scroll the text in that box? :h: I tried making it a scrollable text box but it didn’t work when I exported the movie? Is there more actionscripting involved? I’m sorry if this is a stupid quest… but I haven’t been able to get it to work with what I know so far…

Thanks, Julie. :flower:
