Scrolling in Captivate2

My boss says that at another location he saw real scrolling (as opposed to going to the next screen using the scroll bar via an invisible button) in Captivate. I sure can't see how. Is this possible? The pieces created are standalone executables used for training.

Thanks for the replies. My guess is he saw the Captivate scrolling created in Flash. We're in NY and he was on a project in Indiana at the time and the team he was working with (on a RoboHelp project) is really into Flash, which (sigh!) is on my agenda in the near future. The "...click the scrollbar" works okay by me for now also...

I've never seen a way to let the user scroll objects in Captivate (lists, windows with scrollbars, etc). I always just have them "click the scroll bar" and it seems unsatisfying, although it certainly makes my life easier as a developer.

I imagine scrolling objects could be embedded as a Flash animation, but I have no idea how that could be created in Flash. I'd be very interested in hearing if anybody comes up with a way to do it.

Rfarqu01 ,

Could he have seen a project with a skin playback control that included the progress bar? Dragging the progress button scrolls along the timeline within a slide.

Or am I totally confused about what you are asking?
