Please help newbee with scrolling text :(

I assume that is and Actionscript? Where do I put “text.selectable=false?” I am using the UI scrollbar and there is no option for that in the properties. Thanks.
Still getting no love when I view as movie. I have the text in a box and if I highlight it I can scroll down (also works with the mouse wheel) but there are no buttons or the moving part of the scroll bar visible.

PS yes I am also just putting the scrollbar on it’s own layer (the top)
