Hi, I searched the AS3 forum and found a few helpful threads, but couldn’t quite isolate an answer to my question. Basically, I’m designing a site for 800x600 and almost all of my stages are 800x600, but because of an abundance of text, I streched one stage to 800x1365.

I realize I could just put the text in a text field that would fit in the original 600 but I’d rather not to avoid the weird look when viewed on a computer with a bigger screen resolution.

So, the problem: How can I add a regular browser scroll bar to my SWF that will remain on the edge of the screen regardless of resolution and scroll down the entire stage?

Thanks
