I made a dynamic text field inside of a movie clip. I then dragged the scroll bar component over, and it worked, yeah! But they Im uploading a .txt file dynamically through the .swf The text displays and is selectable but it does not scroll. The scroll bar is there but doesn’t work. Any ideas? :sigh:

Did you set your text box to multiline? Does your scrollbar target the textbox? _shrug_

yes my textbox is set to multiline and it wraps the test. And I’m not sure If my scroll bar targets the textbox, I didn’t do anything different from usual. How do I check?
