^how do you do it?^ I have a file thats loaded but it will only display on one line as opposed to filling out the text box. the text box is set to multi line and scrolling is on. What do I need to do? ---

Have a fla coppertop? I would think it works. A dynamic text box with multiline wrap and scrolling on and scrollbar attached/linked to it? Should work. ---

just add a scrollbar. Drag and drop it. Then it works. It needs a scrollbar to scroll 😉 ---

create a new folder and unzip everything into it, then you will see it at work. the file is too big to upload, so here it is here: [www.coppertop.madsim.net/needhelp.zip](http://www.coppertop.madsim.net/needhelp.zip) ---

Ok, unzip everything into the same folder, then open up the fla, and export a swf and look on the “home” page at the big text area, and you will see what I am talking about. It will display on one line, and when you scroll, it displays one line still. ArGh! ---

i did, and its still only displaying one line at a time when I scroll. It will display one line, and the rest of the box empty, then I hit the scroll down button, and it will show the next section and the rest of the box empty, and so on.
