i tried the tutorial on how to create a text scroller. the bit where it tells u to “drag-drop ON the text box” and the scroller SHOULD re-size it-self. for me this doesnt work, i drag-droped it on the text box and nothing.

plz could u tell me wot i am doing wrong and what to do to fix this problem.

I wouldn’t know what’s wrong.

My guess-

Are you sure you made dynamic text? Did you give it an instance name?That might be the problem.
