I am attempting to create a root movie with an image (JPEG), that on roll over loads an external MC with ScrollPane text. This works fine. However, I would like to allow the user to scroll through the text in the ScrollPane MC, then on mouse out, make the ScrollPane MC disappear. I have tried several ways to script this, and am failing.

I am hoping to load the external MC with a roll over on the root movie image, and unload the external MC with just a roll out on it (no clicks).

Two simple FLAs are attached. Please publish “external.fla” first to preview it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am scopeless and hopeless!
