I need a scrolling frame in a Flex pub. The "add scrollbar" option doesn't work, and I'm wondering if anyone has any workaround ideas - e.g. is it possible to achieve this via scripting?

Roger,

This is what I did to get scrolling working.

I created a small frame first.
Then I inserted a large image into the frame and resized it to Fit to Contents.
Next I created a hotspot and put it on the right side of the frame.
On the hotspot I put two actions.
The first action used a Mouse Over trigger. It was set to Move Horizontal Image 10 pixels with a duration of 1 second (you can adjust as you like), and set to Repeat continuously.
The second action used a Mouse Out trigger. It was set to Stop Animation.

I would think you could duplicate these on the rest of the corners of your frame or on buttons if you so chose to go that route. I'm sure you could even set a drag and drop thing if you worked a little.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for your response. I'll certainly try what you suggest and let you know how I get on.

Brian

I slightly modified your approach and, although a bit clunky, I'm pleased to report that it works. Thanks again.
