Hi I’ve downloaded Claudio’s Scroll AS and his works fine. I modified it a bit. As long as I don’t change the text box size it works OK but the moment I enlarge it , ie, make my own text box the masking doesn’t work. Here are two .fla’s : scroll 2.fla - My attempt at enlarging the text box. For some reason the masking doesn’t work. scroll 3.fla - in this file, I haven’t changed the size of the textbox, only the content of it. The masking somehow works here. I need someone’s assistance in making scroll 2.fla work. Please help !! ---

Unexpected file format here. Are you sure you are using flash mx? ---

my mistake. Anyway, Do you have an idea of what could be the problem. Like I said before, except the masking issue, your scrolling AS works fine. ---

Here are the attachments in MX format. Hope it helps. By the way , how do I make the scroll script stop the scroll exactly on the final line of my text and not leave space after the last line ? Again, thanks for your help ---

On the scroller2.fla you had a lot of white space in the end of the textfield and you forgot to embed the fonts, thats why the text wont show up. ---

You have to play with the space parameter. Decrease the value to decrease the extra spacing. ---
