I’m on a Macintosh using Flash MX (6). I want to scroll an external SWF file using up and down scroll buttons but I do not want 100% of the external SWF file shown in the window, part of it I want hidden. As the user scrolls I want only a small part of the SWF file to show.

Any help would be great!
