scrollbars

[jimmyhay]

Can anyone explain how to create or know of a tutorial that shows u how to create scrollbars that will work not just for text boxes but for movie clips aswell. Perhaps using masks or something?

Cheers.

there should be a tutorial on here called scrolling and zooming a movie. if not it's on flashkit.com but one or the other will have it. if not www.ultrashock.com does have it. they have just about everything like that.

why don't you use ScrollPane component?

it takes up too much space and you can't change the look of it. it's easier to just better to make your own. most of the proffesional sites you see that do flash make their own. it's not like it's exactly hard...

its probably just me being stupid, but i searched about and couldnt find a helpful tutorial on the subject :confused:

could you maybe point me in the right direction? cuz i looked at the sites you linked to and couldnt find anything, and couldnt find a tutorial on here for it.

as for the ones in ultrashock.com, just go there and look at the source files. in the navigation section there are dozens of different scrolling systems. you just have to look around don't search :P
