Hi! I have a question about the scrollpane component.

I’m making an application that loads a series of checkboxes into a scrollpane. The application reads from an XML file, and for every item in that file, it creates a checkbox. The problem is, I can’t get the scrollpane to scroll! The checkboxes just extend beyond the scrollpane.

At this point I have the background image and the scrollpane placed on the stage, and then use Actionscript for everything else. I can create the scrollpane through the script if that would help. I’ve read a couple things about placing the items you want to scroll inside a movieclip and then placing THAT inside the scrollpane… but I just can’t get it to work. I’ve tried a lot of different things, and I’m just stuck.

Any advice, experiences, thoughts that might help? Thank you!!
