</div>

the following code all works with one exception the scrollbar doesnt scroll the text

createTextField(“resumeText”,50 ,-220,-150,430,300);  
with(resumeText){  
html = true;  
type = dynamic;  
border = false;  
selectable = true;  
wordWrap = true;  
multiline = true;  
htmlText = \_global.resume  
textColor = 0xffffff  
}  
attachMovie(“FScrollBarSymbol”,“resume\_sb”, 40);  
with(resume\_sb){  
setScrollTarget(resumeText);  
\_x = resumeText.\_x + resumeText.\_width + 4;  
\_y = resumeText.\_y;  
setSize(resumeText.\_height);  
setHorizontal(false);  
}

to see it in action ( or in this case not in action:smirk:) take a look at [http://www.billstoudt.com/](http://www.billstoudt.com/) click on about and then resume.

interestingly it was working at one point and now it mysteriously stopped.

any help would be greatly appriciated.
