im reletively new to flash, and i want to have text with 2 columns that scrolls as one body of text. so far all i can do is have two seperate text boxes for each column and then they cant scroll as one. how do i make it so i can have columns in the text so the text automatically flows from one column to another? surely there must be way. i downloaded some component from macromedia for making columns but they dont scroll, they go from one screen to another like turning a page. this is really frustrating for something that should be so easy. can anyone please help me?
