Hehe nice 🙂
I was going to write a tutorial for that when my next version came up. I have a few things I want to write tutorials on, but I dislike writing tutorials (I like to be in depth, which takes time and patience) so needless to say I have a nack for delaying them.

One question though, what if the moviclip is larger than the one provided in the fla. I noticed that when i changed it to one of my own, i couldnt scroll all the way back to the top.

```php
// Stopping _y Coord for Scroll Up Button
var howFarUp = 10;
// Stop _y Coord for Scroll Down Button
// my example as a registration point in the top center
// so this can change depending on registration point location
var howFarDown = 10-(myClip._height/2);
```
the 2 variables
```php
var howFarUp = 10;
```
```php
var howFarDown = 10-(myClip._height/2);
```
The need to be changed relative to the size and location of your MC on the stage.

I think you just have to put a textfield inside a movie clip. And embed the font of course.
