Scrolling help

Hey Guys
I have a quick question. I am having some trouble with Flash’s scroll bar component. In my text, I am trying to have the first letter a different font and size than the rest of the text. For some reason it isn’t working and is changing ALL of the text to the style of the first one. When I just add a seperate text box to act as the leading character (which is a different font and size) it doesn’t scroll with the rest of the other text. what is the best way to go about this? Thanks.
