I am new to this forum & if you have suggestions for me to make this go smoother, please let me know.  
I am taking a Flash class & don’t have access to my instructor for a couple days. Need help w/ a tutorial for Creating Scrolling text from this site. (scroll.fla from tutorial Basic Text Scroller) When I try to use the the downloaded source file, I can’t seem to change the text & have it work. I know it’s probably some simple little thing I’m not doing, but I can’t figure it out & I’d really like to get this part done by Wed 4/20 if possible. I would welcome any help, if someone is willing to work with me on this.  
Thanks!

After reading a few posts, I think I need to add that I am an adult student in a college course.
