Hi, my first post so be easy!

I have a movie, which has a dynamic text box with a scrollbar. Because this text box is masked it has to be converted to a movieclip (from what I’ve read and been told). My problem is that once I convert the dynamic text box to a movie clip, I cannot attach the scrollbar. It just won’t attach like it normally did before converting the text box to a movieclip. Anyonee?? I’m a flash beginner by the way so It may be something simple but I’m just learning.

Thank You
