I need to know on how to take a loaded external swf and place it in a size control spot that will be able to scroll the swf.

The swf will have text and images on it so I can’t use a text scroller. For some reason the scroll pane will not show text but will show images?

Maybe I did it wrong, I tried masking but the text gets kind of fuzzy when I do that?

Can anyone help me out with how other do that?

Most appreciated for your help in advanced!
