I wanted to know if there was a way to put a scrollbar in Flash 5. I have a graphic that is too large for the stage, and don't want to break it up. It's a flowchart. Is there a way to put that graphic in a text box, then add a scrollbar to it? I know there is that option in MX, but for now, I have 5.0. The project will be set up like a webpage with frames. on the left side, the navigation options, and on the right, the results. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Sorry, there are no built-in scroll bars in Flash 5, and if it's for a graphic you are talking about some SERIOUS scripting work. If I were you, I would be thinking about breaking it up.

Or not ... an idea just occurred. Send me an email if you read this - I might have something which could be easily configurable by the time you get back to me.
 
I hate to do this, but I just said to myself, F it, and installed Flash MX with the ScrollBar functionality. It works great too. But thank you for your response and taking the time to help out.
 
No problem ... a solution by other means is still a solution!
