What I did:

1. created scroll.fla of document size 200px by 200px  
\>\> exactly the tutorial posted by Jesse Stratford at  
[http://totaltutorials.com/Go.asp?ID=2532](http://totaltutorials.com/Go.asp?ID=2532)  
\>\> when ctrl+enter (preview), text can be scrolled. It works!

2. created main.fla of document size 400px by 250px  
\>\> contains a movie clip (a box of size 200px by 200px) with instance name = ‘box’ and a button  
\>\> once clicked on the button, scroll.swf is loaded into a “box”  
\>\> works perfectly fine, except, when scroll.swf is loaded, the text inside scroll.swf cannot be scrolled.

My question is: when can’t the text be scrolled? what did i miss?

saggismoon,  
sounds like a path problem. check all the paths used in the scrolling function. paths will be different if it loads into a root mc.
