Hi all, When I create dynamic text and add scroll bar to it on different layers, they work fine but once I make them symbol and dynamically load text to it, scroll bar no longer work much less does not appear on the rail beside text field. How could I make it work right? ---

Howdy… When you create a symbol with the text field, were you creating a movieclip that contains the text field and the scrollbar instance??? That probably is the path problem… Let’s say that your instance name for the text field is ‘theText’… and when it goes into the movieclip, it should be referred as ‘yourMCname.theText’… Check that out first and see if that corrects problem… Hope it does, but if it doesn’t you might want to give us more details… :cowboy: ---
