Hi, I’m just starting out in flash and having trouble using the  
scrollbar component in a dynamic text box which has been  
converted to a movieclip.

I had to convert the text box to a movieclip so I could mask it.  
Now that it has been turned into a movieclip I am unable to attach  
the scrollbar. Is there some action I have to add?

Thanks
