Here I go again… I followed the amazing tutorial on Kirupa and I can get a scroller to work on a blank document, however, for some reason, it does not work when I make one inside a blank scene of my movie (and it doesn’t even have any other layers)… When I try to snap in the scroller it doesn’t do anything… it just floats around in the original size… this is driving me nuts because I am just typing the text directly in there, it’s not imported-- and I haven’t messed around with variables cuz I don’t know much about them… please lemme know what you think… hopefully it’s no biggy of a problem-- gee ☹ ---

OK, Federica I totally cheated : what I did is simple. I made it in a new movie, copied it and pasted it. That’s it. pom 0] ---
