Is there any way to use action script on buttons to load different things into a scroll pane? I have on my main movie thumbnails that I use as buttons and I want them to load descriptions (of the thumbnail pics) into a scroll pane. When clicking on different thumbs, each will load a different description into the scroll pane. I am trying to follow some people’s adivce on this forums for using dynamic text boxes, but nothing works…yet. Currently I cut an paste text into text boxes and convert those to graphic symbols and then load them into a scroll pane for descriptions. Is there an easier way of going about doing this?

:cyclops: :crazy:

I’m starting to wonder if my post was just stupid or I am going about this entirely wrong? Well I’m still stuck, but I have options…of course the others are a bit more tedious. If anyone has any ideas…hit me up! :trout:
