Hey guys!
I have a dynamic text box that grabs text externally. No biggie, I even added a custom scroller to it. However I want to create more than a triangle at the top and bottom of the scroller. I’d like to create a custom scrollbar, so the user can click and drag the bar as well as hitting the arrows.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm // in this tutorial kirupa has us building a custom scrollbar for a masked mc. It’s works great, i even have the scrollbar working, however I can’t get it to link correctly to my dynamic text box. I don’t know how to properly change the actionscript to make it work.
My dynamic text box has an instance name of news_txt I tried plugging that in-place of the contentMain MC or contentMask MC that this tutorial uses. I also tried changing various other things, but I cannot get this to scroll. Besides changing the names of some instances, and making sure I followed the tutorial, it isn’t that hard, however I don’t know how to edit the actionscript.
If anybody knows how to change it, or another way or creating a custom scrollbar to go along with my arrows 
that’d be swell.
P.S. … please don’t tell me to just use the component scrollbar, because it’s just boring and unoriginal.
