OMG God man....I already told you. Just delete the code of the arrows and the buttons. You need to download the file from the below link and open it. Every little thing is explained in detail. Please , i am sorry if i am rude, but the point i am trying to make here, is to learn from the .fla and try your own codes. Please check try to this file . :glasses:

if you want to add pictures that can be scrolled, simply put them all into a movieclip, and then set the correct property in the scroll bar to the instance name of the movieclip.

it's all commented in the fla.

Hi!

Before my question, this is my first post in Kirupa :beer:
Neil, I'm following the *.fla and had read all the actionscript.

I've copied all the code and give the same name instances do the scroll track, scroll bar, mask, and movie clip where is the content to be scrolled.
But I still don't have sucess.

There is any value into actionscript that must be modified to work???

PS: Sorry about my english!

Mvespa... start another thread. This one's for underoath.

As for the pictures/icons/links you need to be using Flash MX 2004 and the 7.0 player to embed pics, and Flash MX+ / 6.0+ player to embed links into the textfield.

son of light, I think it's not necessary to start a new thread because I've already solved the problem! :)

Don't ask me why, but I had a animated mask and didn't work, now with a static one all works :)

Thanks everybody=)
