I have three questions…  
please help if you can.

1. Scrolling text. Is there a way to create scrolling (scroll bar and all), with the background remaining transparent? Can I do this with the scrollbar offered from the components?

2. So far for my text my code on the arrows looks like this:  
on (release) {  
text.scroll-=1  
}  
What code should I add if I want the text to continuously scroll on “hold”?

3. Finally, If I want the text to be able to load as a PDF… um… how do I go about doing this?

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
