I’m trying to load external swf files into the component scroll pane using ActionScript. If I’m just loading a jpg or picture swf file in it, everything seems to work fine. But since the user is going to have to wait for this to load I would like to put a preloader on the swf file that I’m loading. When I do this, it comes in completey messed up (no scrollbar, aligned way to the left). Is what I’m doing even possible? Also, how can I change the alpha setting in the ScrollPane background without changing the scroll bar on the right? I know some people have said you can double click it and manually edit it, but that double click method does not work with my version…
Thanks…

I said so, and it should work, as “your version” should be the same component everybody else is using… 🙂
Otherwise, check the clips name, something like bounding box, and script it’s alpha to 0…
Did you try to load into an empty clip attached to the scrollpane?

Thank you for the prompt response! You are right, I guess our “versions” do match because I was able to target the bounding box 2 and change the alpha on it.
I’m still a little fuzzy one what you said about loading into an empty movie clip attached to the scrollpane, do you think you could elaborate a little more?
Thanks a ton…
