Skinning components like the ScrollBar used to be easy? Adding a component added a folder of things to tinker with to the library. Now I’ve got CS3 I can’t work it out at all. ☹

I’ve read the help files, they go on about importing “halo Theme” or something infinity more complicated than it used to be. I thought new releases were supposed to make hard things easy. Not easy things hard.

Am I just missing something?

I have a textField that dynamically loads it’s content. It automatically adds a scrollbar when the text exceeds the box’s height (all standard stuff, I haven’t messed with anything) I want to customise the scrollBar but it’s driving me crazy.

PLEASE help :puzzled:

thanks.
