I have a template I am working with. I am trying to drag-N-drop a UIscroller component into a text box, but when I open the COMPONENTS menu, it is completely empty. If I create a brand new Flash file and open the COMPONENTS menu, all the components are listed.

In the template file, in the ACTIONS menu, the components are listed in the 'Actionscript 1.0 & 2.0' pull-down list.

IF I copy a working UIScroller component from a new and working file into my template, it will copy in properly, but when I test my movie, the scrollbar is blank, just a whitevertical rectangle with no up or down buttons and no location bar.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I believe I do.

I have a text area that I set to 'Scrollable' and put more text in it than was in the viewing area. I then dragged my copied-from-the-working-model UIscroller into the text box to the inside right-most edge, and it snapped into place the exact height of my viewable text section; exactly how it worked when I did the same thing in the new-from-scratch file that works when I test the movie.

In the template in CS3:

FILE> PUBLISH SETTINGS
Go to the FLASH tab.
Change 'ACTIONSCRIPT VERSION' to 'Actionscript 2.0'.
OK.

All components are now shown in the COMPONENTS window, and function properly when added to the site pages.
