Looking for an answer really quickly… See the attached sketch.

I’m going to have htmltext loaded into a textbox in Flash from a PHP file.

The text will be loaded into a scrollable textbox, and it will need to scroll using a **custom scrollbar**. This is the part I’m unsure of. Making a custom graphic control the scrolling of a textbox. The textbox is filled with dynamically loaded text, so there’s no knowing how long it’ll be, thus puzzling me as to how you’d script a scrollbar…

Thanks in advance!

Try this. You can change the scroller to a custom dragger. Play with the numbers to get it to scroll right =)
