View Full Version : Masking Scrollable Text!?!

Hi everyone, I'm having a little trouble on a file I'm working on for my uncle.

I have a mask that drops down to show everything, lame lil slide in if you will, and one of the things it is showing is a content box i want to have. I want to have a scrollable text box there, so I'm using the UIScrollbar and made it dynamic text. Of course for the text to show up in the mask I need to "embed" the font so I do that and then the text is viewable but the scrollbar is non functioning and doesn't even appear to really attach itself to the text box. Any advice? I need this to display as the mask slides over the page so its flush with the rest.

Don't know if it matters but mask is basically a rectangle movie clip that grows to the size of the page via actionscript.

Any help is appreciated!

Can you attach your .fla?

There's nothing to scroll, and that's what happens with the scrollbar... Add more text, or reduce the size of the textfield (with the bottom right black handle... not by changing it's dimensions...), and it will appear and work fine.
