Where is the scrollbar in MX 2004?

Hi !

This might be a totally dumb question, but is there a scrollbar component in Flash MX 2004 ? I can't find it in the components panel...

There isn't one readily available for single use. It's built into other components which Macromedia assumes you will use for scrolling content such as scrollpanes, text areas, datagrids and trees.

doh... I think that Macromedia assumes to many things...:-(

Thanks anyway !

Yeah, I'd assume that's the issue Mathieu_BSL was confronting. I know you can style the textArea properties... All but the background. There was a solution posted, but it's a hack. It's not an actual style declaration. So that definitely leaves a need for the regular old text field, but there we are again at the scrollbar issue.

For the record, the following makes a TextArea transparent, while leaving the scrollbar (if it's needed) visible;

YOUR_TEXT_AREA.depthChild0._alpha=0

Hi datter,

what's the code for making the background transparent in the scrollpane component?

i've posted a few times for this, with no answers.

Isn't it transparent by default?
