Hi

I have a scroll pane that is not behaving well.  
The content for the scroll pane is a MC called “text” which contains 5 dynamic text boxes. The problem is, when published, the contents of the scroll pane are visible outside the boundries of the scroll pane component.

I have put the 5 text fields inside a MC so I can keep the colums in line as I have not been able to do this in a normal dynamic text field.

Can anybody help please?

You can put a mask over the scroller, it will only show the part of the text that you want. But if you use this, don’t forget to embed your fonts !

Yes thats exactly what I didn’t do. I went back and read the help files with a bit more care.
