hi,

i am trying to change the content of a scrollpane when clicking a button:

on(release){  
scrollpane1.setScrollContent=“flashtext\_mc”;  
trace(scrollpane1.setScrollContent)  
}

the trace reveals that setScrollContent has been set to flashtext\_mx but the scrollpane contents do not change. the scrollpane is within a movie clip which is itself in another movie clip on the main timeline.

i am using flash mx 2004 components.

any help would be much appreciated.

regards,

luke.
