I have multiple lines of text on the stage. Each line of text is a separate movie clip, and the list of them is long enough to where I need a scroll pane. I selected all the movie clips, and made another single movie clip of all of them named “allText”. Then I inserted a scroll pane. But when I set the scroll pane’s source as “allText”, I get errors saying the movie clips are not defined.

How can I make a scroll pane work with multiple separate movie clips on the stage?

Thanks much,

Carl
