I’ve searched for almost a whole week to get this thing converted, and I’m pretty sure I’m an idiot who has had the answers in front of her the whole time.
I found a great tutorial for a scrollbar that was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something that didn’t have up or down buttons, had a thin line for the track, and a circular dragger. However, it was written in AS2. I’ve tried to convert it myself, but I’m a complete beginner, and I know nothing about AS3 code, or AS2 for that matter. So, I’ve managed to get the scroller icon to move, but it moves all over the screen & doesn’t stay put. It also doesn’t scroll. Help me!! (Thanks in advance… :geek: )
