hello there,

It´s be a while that i didn´t have this problem.

I make a box with dynamic text , and after i save the project (fla.) , when  
i open the file again , the box is on the size of the full text.  
That means that it change the box like it was static text.

Last time i had this problem , i solve it by put the dynamic box and the  
“scrollbar” component on the same layer.  
But this time , i´m not using the component.  
I´ve made a “up” and “down” button , and also put it on the same layer  
as the dynamic box.  
But it´s not working.  
I have this problem again.!!☹

If anyone knows how to solve this or has the same problem,  
reply so we can discuss this issue.

thanks

Ok,

I´ve solve the problem.  
Instead of writing the text directly on the box, i decided  
to use AS to write the variable:

```auto

                 scrolltext = "My text here..."
               

```

Now , my question is:  
How do i make a new text line this way?  
Cos, this script only accepts you to write your text in the same line.
