Flash help

[sirbleedsalot]

Thank you for your help. This movie was not planned to go into a HTML file rather it was meant to play directly from the flash player as it will be put on a CD. However if it would probably look OK in a web browser that would also make it easier to auto run. Also I was wondering how I would create a scroll bar in the movie so that a user can read at their own pace.

I am not sure how to make a scroll bar... but please let me present the most comprehensive flash site ever:

www.flashkit.com

look under the tutorials section. They should have something on that.

To add a scroll bar make your text dynamic. To do this, click on the text you have written, on the bottom properties panel there should be a drop down box saying "STATIC TEXT" Click this drop down menu and pick dynamic text. Now open the COMPONENTS window in Flash and drag the scroll bar icon from the components window and drop it onto your dynamic text box. It should snap into place and line up with your text box. If this doesnt work, make sure the scroll bar value is named the same as your dynamic text box value.
