ScrollBar(s),MovieClips,Navigation...Help

http://myweb.cableone.net/breedon/IndexA.fla

1)Several things I want to change. If you go over my movie clips on the top your mouse pointer will change. Originally these where buttons, I though I could change them into movieclips to avoid that however, it seems I was wrong. I don’t want my mouse to change into some stupid finger.

2)I’d like my flash to be centered or opened it’s seperate window with the size of the window equal to the flash.

3)Can anyone point me to some complete scrollbar tutorials? I’d take one from the component bar, but as you can see it doesn’t match my webpage layout at all.

4)The bottom part of my webpage, will be like a news ticker. I’d like it to dynamically load from a text file. Any suggestions?

5)This is the code I intend to have for my top nav bar, “IF” it worked…

on (press)
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“Home.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
TBox_Home.html = true;
TBox_Home.htmlText = this.Home;
}
};

The Error I get…

Error Scene=Introduction, layer=Home, frame=73:Line 2: ‘{’ expected
loadText = new LoadVars();
Error Scene=Introduction, layer=Home, frame=73:Line 9: Syntax error.
};
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

This is the same code I use for one of my frames. The movie automatically loads the home.txt. Eventually I’d just change the Tbox_home.htmlText=This.Home and loadtext.load(“home.txt”) to portfolio,world or whatever… Would this work?
