I looked at your file and fixed one mistake.
The file loads now, but still doesn’t scroll properly.
// NOT WORKING. Need to get the scroll slider to move as percentage of overall text height. Not sure how to link to the text box or how the textHeight function works. Does this need to be a variable??
scrollBarShell_mc.slider_btn.y = (scrollPercentage*blogBox_txt.height);
Here’s an example of a fairly complete custom “easing” scroller.
Includes link to external text file, a conditional that resets the thumb to the top of the track if the content is reloaded, and auto-hides the scrollbar if the content does not require scrolling.
The basic scrollbar code came from the gotoandlearn.com tutorial.
