good afternoon,  
I’ve gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),

I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.

I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don’t include the buttons and I’m unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my “info\_txt” after creating them separately).

can any of you fine folks point me to a tut that shows me how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons?

OR a tut that shows me how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons  
(please let me know if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).
