scroll bar component

[dirk]

Hi

I'm trying to get a simple scroll bar component working - to be able to scroll a .gif - but so far without success. Grateful for some help.

I have dragged the scroll bar component on the work area - and left the default parameter settings as they are - except setting scroll drag to true + specifying a file path.

The file path as been set as 'approach.gif' - which sits in the same sub folder as the main movie.

I also gave the component an instance name.

But on loading it up - it's not working - the gif image and the scroll bar are not appearing - although the componet border is.

Any ideas what else I need to do to get the gif and the scroll to work?

Thanx

Dirk

Are trying to load dynamically a .gif file? coz you can only load jpgs (non-progressive) and not gif...

You can load a gif dynamicly! It better to stick with either jpg or png but yes you can load a gif.
