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:
