Hey everybody! Here’s my question… I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on… [http://www.driftlab.com/index2.html](http://www.driftlab.com/index2.html) (right below the word welcome) I don’t want to use the dull custom built in version MX provides cause lets face it, its ugly! and I’d like it to be linked to an external text document. I see this all over the place, so I’m pretty sure this is possible! If anyone could help out that would be great! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I’d really appreciate it! I’m guessing a few other people may be interested too!

Thanks  
Brad
