Hi, I have a problem with UIScrollBar component, and i’m new to this flash stuff and i have a problem solving this. Ok here it is, I need a scrollable text field in my flash document and i need to put it in certain frame. I created dinamic text field, set everything, multiline, instance name, put some text in it and then used UIScrollBar component for that text field. Everything is ok, but when i test movie, the scrollbar is inactive, there is no buttons or actual bar, it’s just empty, like a gray rectangle. The text is scrollable, mouse wheel works, and also i can select text and scroll down or up, just the scrollbar seems inactive. But when i do this in a new file, everything works fine, just when i put it in my flash clip at certain frame it doesn’t work. I tried put in it in the first frame also (new layer), it still doesn’t work. I also tried to import a flash file (swf) and i can import it in to the library, but when i take it to the stage, even if it text field is there, the scrollbar is inactive or whatever. And yes i always checked that the bar \_TargetInstanceName is set to name of the text field. Like I said i can make it working it just don’t work when i do it in my document, or when i import it to my document. I have a very basic knowledge of flash, so any help would be great, or if anyone knows of any other way how to make this scrollable text field work. I don’t even know if this is possible, maybe it’s something in my document that is the reason for this, but maybe it’s something simple. 🙂 I also searched the forum for similar problems, but didn’t find the solution, i hope it’s ok to start new topic.
