hello !

i’m trying to find a way to scroll 2 dynamic fields (fed with xml data ) with one sole scrollbar: each textfield corresponds to one column of text.

So i figured i could have them both in an mc and attach a scrollbar to that mc. The components do not seem to accept mc scrolling (only dynamic textfield scrolling). I tried Kirupa’s nice scrollbar tutorial but the issue i’m having is that it does not take into account the length of the dynamic textfields. I would like this scrollbar to disappear if there is enough screenspace to display the content.

Any idea how to make a scrollbar for an mc of varying length?

thanks a lot,

Alex
