Hi there, I am Wolfgang from Austria. The name nataq comes from Natureaquarium, one of my first websites (www.naturaquarium.at - nothing special). This is the first time I post in this forum, so I thought IŽd introduce myself.

My question is concerning the intermediate tutorial 01 (Relative Scrolling Content and Navigation). I do not have any problems setting one of it up (I wondered myself), but when I want to set up some functions and actionscripts on it, I see the following problems:

1. IŽd like to interlace two of those scrolling contents. One will be the base for some informations (presented on some "cards"), and on one of the cards there should be a selection of wallpapers, that will be presented the same way (with that scrolling content). But when I try this, the scrolling doesnŽt stop. It is moving right when the film is loaded and cannot be controlled by the buttons. I changed the name of both, the bar and the content, but it still doesnŽt work. Are there any parameters I need to rename? Can I use "target" and "director" in both cases? What about the goto variable, can I use them in both movies, or do I need to change the name?

Now that was the first problem, and the second one is:

2.IŽd like to add a scrolling textbox (like the one in intermediate tutorial 34, Scrolling a text box II). on one of the cards. Everything works, the scrollbar has the right height, and the "buttons" work. But: you can not see the text (I did not set the alpha to 0, believe me). The strange thing is: you can copy the text out of the box and paste it e.g.: in ms word, but you donŽt see it in the .swf file). Any ideas?

Sorry for the long text, but it would be great if there was somebody able to help.

Thanks in advance and greetings from Austria
