Hey,

First of all I wanted to thanks lost in beta for the help with my last question. Everything worked out perfectly.

Now, I added some scrollable text using the mx components. I have lots of experience with adobe photoshop and other raster programs. So I was wondering if there are anyways to tweak the scroll bars/buttons etc that flash automatically uses, with some of my own, preferably without going through too much trouble.

Thanks in advance again.

Chris

Unfortunately, not without recreating the entire scrollbar on your own ☹

Something like this…

Components are an incredible pain to edit and definitely not worth the trouble even if you could make it look the way you wanted.

About the only thing you do to change the look of a component is to change its colors through AS or by changing its tint in the properties window :-\

I am glad I could help with your last problem 🙂
