Hi,

Ive followed this good tutorial on how to build a custom-made component in Flash MX 2004.

[http://www.ultrashock.com/tutorials/flashmx2004/components.php](http://www.ultrashock.com/tutorials/flashmx2004/components.php)

The example builds a simple TextBox-component.

Well, what is not taugt is where and how to put symbols/movieclips/buttons etc. (ie. graphics and stuff that make out the interface of the component) in the component.

In the TextBox-examples, the author creates a TextBox with AS2, but in my case I would like to add graphics that Ive made myself.

Actually, since Im trying to do a ScrollBar of sorts, an even better thing would be if there was a way to create with AS2 the same kind of Up/Down/ScrollBar movieclips that go into for instance the ScrollPane. Are they available to be created by using AS2?

Hope it all made sense 🙂

Thanks
