Im using flash 5.0 , my site is nowhere near finished, i barely started but im stuck on one major part of the main page. I have a news section on the mainpage in the middle of the layout. I want this news to be able to scroll way down as i add more news in future. I dont want it to come out of the Layout, or have to scroll down the whole page. I want only the text to be scrollable… How do i go about doing this ? I saw a tutorial for scroll bar for Flash MX but im using 5.0 Any help would be appreciated. thx ---

I answered in the Flash MX forum. You don’t need to post more than once. We all check all the forums. ---

BTW Argo- Welcome to Kirupa! Good to see ya? There is a note from Kirupa in Random asking people how they found this site, and since your memory is fresh it would be good input to hear, + it would be a great way to get to know a few people around here. Check it out in Random by Kirupa-it should be near the top. But welcome! pj 😛 ---

Correct, Ill go check it on the Flash MX, i didnt mean to post it there. Happened by accident. Since this is a Flash 5.0 issue i decided to post it again here. I heard about this site from a friend. I am in a big Everquest Guild, and posted my problem on our message boards, he sent me a link to this site. ---
