hi guys,

i have a dynamic textbox calling an external txt file. i've also got my interface up and all, added buttons for scrolling the content of the dynamic textbox. what i'm trying to do now is to incorporate a horizontal slider at the bottom, so that users can scroll the content by controlling the slider. need some help here. i have no idea how to go about doing it. here's a pic of how it's like right now.

Making scroll boxes can lead into performance issues in some cases. However, using Flash 8’s new features can really optimize your scrollbox’s performance. Those new features are the following;
scrollRect (property)
cacheAsBitmap (function)
opaqueBackground (property)

For more info on these 3 features goto the link below and read under ‘Scrolling Large Amounts of Text’ (but you may need to read all 4 pages);

Also on how to code a scrollbox I found that this tutorial is good;

Does that help you at all?
