Hi all,

I have a problem that seems to be quite common, yet seems to solved rarely (as far as I’m aware).

I have a flash website I have developed with the use of UI Scroll bars on dynamic text. I have customised the visual style of them to fit the style of my site.

Everything works fine when viewed off-line on my HD. However once I have uploaded the site, the scroll bars fail to load/appear when I visit the site. The odd thing is, is that if you visit another page and return home, the scroll bars appear.

I have searched this and other forums and have found people with the same problem, but no-one seems to have a definate answer. If this could be solved simply, it would definately be a sticky for newbie component users like myself.

I have a theory that the scrollbar is loaded before the dynamic text is, thus saying to itself, “no text, no display”. However after a refresh, the text is loaded into the cache, thus allowing the scrollbar to recognise the text and display.

The problem with my theory is that I don’t know how to implement it. I’m not exactly an actionscript or component guru so I would appreciate any help on this.

My theory may completely rubbish as well, so feel free to offer any oppinions.

cheers
