Hi everybody!

Does anybody know how to do the following things in Flash MX?

1.Make a scroller with text + images in it;  
2.Make a scroller with text + a form in it;  
3.I followed the tutorial entitled “Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text”, but the text that I tried to load has over 160 lines, and I can only scroll down to about half way of the total lines. Why is that?  
4.I also tried to load xml files using the code \<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?\> on the first line of each xml file, but the ', &, and " " don’t work.

Can anybody help me, please? This is urgent!

Thanks in advance!

        scrollableText.scroll = currentScroll-1;
    }
}

```

this is the down arrow code

```php

on (press, release, keyPress "<Down>") {
    currentScroll = scrollableText.scroll;
    if (Number(currentScroll)<Number(scrollableText.maxscroll)) {
        scrollableText.scroll = Number(currentScroll)+1;
    }

```
