Hey, question…  
Ive been trying to figure this out for about 20/30 minutes and Ive had enough of it. Im trying to make a textfield scrollable (up and down) kind of like a “News Post” type of thing. They can scroll down to see the old news, while the new news is on top. Any ideas on how to make this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Oblique :hat:

Nah… I posted after you.

Your tutorial was for Flash 5.

This is in the MX forum, so the Flash 5 one probably works, but I posted the MX tutorial links anyway.
