Hi all, i am new here, well, i registered some time ago, but never posted, but now i am getting into flash mx 2004 and i am loving it, but i need some help!

I used this excellent tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/cssfile.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/cssfile.htm)

but since mx2004 doesn’t have the scrollbar component i dont know how to scroll text. :\*(

I have tried this:

**made a scroll up button, with these actions:**  
on(release) {  
output.scroll -=1  
}

**made a scroll down button, with these actions:**  
on(release) {  
output.scroll +=1  
}

but that doesn’t work.  
Could someone please help me out!  
you would be the :pope: !
