Hi,

I’m new and stupid. I have played with flash 4 and five…but have no scripting background. I want to make a simple text scroll bar in flash 5. I read the thread about this earlier, and said it was 13 pages long or in german…it seemed he found a simpler way…could someone point me in the right direction please.

thx
