I’m working on a flashwebsite and have the following problem:

I have a scrollpane with some images in there.  
I also have textfield seperate from the scrollpane with text that also needs to scroll.  
I’ve tried to put the textfield in another scrollpane but then it scrolls the textfield and not  
the text in it.

I don’t want to download the mx6 scrollbar component because it looks differently  
than the mx2004 scrollpane (and I don’t have the time to create styles).

Can I make the text scroll in a scrollpane or do I have to use the textarea component?  
And if I need to use the textarea component… does anyone know a good tutorial cause  
the mx2004 component help documentation really sucks.

And does anyone know if the textarea component supports embedded fonts from a  
shared library?

thanks
