Desparately need help scrolling a movie clip!

Hello!

I am trying to scroll a movie clip with a dragger and up and down buttons.

I've made all the elements for it (buttons, dragger, mask, mc etc) and just need to know where to put the actions and instance names to make it all work.

The elements can be found at www.spindriftmedia.com/scroll.fla or if anyone can tell me over the forum, that would be great.

I used a kirupa tutorial but that unfortunately failed to function properly within my site so please don't think I'm just being lazy!

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark

you can attach the code to your main timeline. the question you'll need to answer is what path/instance names you should use to correctly reference your buttons, dragger and mc.
