Listbox problem [renamed]

programming flash
1

I am a brand new Flash user…So the question that i have, might be really simple for some but is making my life a living hell.
While surfing the web looking for examples about ListBox and more tutorials for flash 8, i found this:

[SIZE=2]**Creating a List Box
**The following steps will explain how to setup the movie for creating the above animation:[/SIZE]
[LIST=1]
[*]Open the source file provided with Flash MX. You’ll see 4 layers : code, dynamic text, list box and background.
<LI style=“FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial” type=i>Open the Component Panel and drag the List Box Component on the list box layer like shown on the screenshot below. [/LIST][FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]The previous text, is a small part of a tutorial found here ( ([COLOR=#800080]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/listbox.htm[/COLOR]) [FONT=Arial] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I was wondering if anyone could help me with 2 questions that i have in mind.[/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]1-. Check the letter i. Is there any kind of “source file” that comes with Flash MX in order to do that same tutorial? I have tried N times to do it, but i cant. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]2-. Since it is for Flash MX can i try to do it with Flash 8 ?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Thanks…[/FONT]

It’s not very nice to crosspost and if you don’t know where to put it, don’t put it in three sections but stick with 1!!

maybe this is useful?

Sorry again… But if i dont post the question, i am going to die with it…And thanks for ur attention…
The main thing is that i for some reason, i CANT do the listbox, neither in Flash MX, and Flash 8…
As said in the fist post, do i need to have something previous installed to create the listbox?
