Hey everyone,

for the last few days I’ve been killing myself to create a scrollbar that scrolls movieclips(so I can scroll images and external dynamic text). Every time I had created the scrollbar the dynamic text wouldn’t work! And as of now I figured out that the Mask layer wont let the dynamic text show through it, IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO VIEW DYNAMIC TEXT THROUGH A MASK LAYER I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!

Any help would be greatly thanked!
