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**. \
  • 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]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/listbox.htm)) [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-.

    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? > **[ListBox in flash 8 is diferent or how can I use it?](https://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=204176&highlight=listbox)** > > Got a web design/development question or just want to hang out with the most awesome people on the planet?

    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? ---
