well i got the height ok but now the width remains a problem. for anyone interested this is the code for the height:

[AS]  
this.updates\_scroller.setSize(this.height = “65”);  
[/AS]

It says in the Reference that the width of the scrollbar component cannot be changed only the length can be changed.

lol yea thanks, i learned that the hard way. what i eneded up doing was making my own, which was good but it wasn’t. i ahve doen this numerous times, but this time i figured out how to make scrollbars, with double click features, and easing. i’d be happy to share the code if anyone is interested
