Has the scrollbar component been taken out in MX 2004? Or am I just blind? Did they maybe rename it? :hangover:

Yep, you use the TextArea component or make your own scrollbar. 😛

how do you change the text color in the textArea component? It’s on a black background and won’t show up… ☹ can you use the HTML font tags?

You can easily use the component of Flash MX in MX 2004 🙂 Just open the file containing the components as library and drag and drop to stage 🙂

I was having the same issues. I’m a Flash newbie and I was trying to do the basic tutorials from the Macromedia site for MX on MX 2004 and it’s a real pain. The textarea component seems awfully static and difficult to work with, and half of the things they go over in the tutorial have been somewhat modified in 2004. I need to find a file with that component in there to drag and drop. At least for learning purposes. Any other tips or good “learning 2004” tutorials would be greatly appreciated!
