flash (macromedia): Hello,
I am looking for a way to create a scrollable movie clip. Similar to a
scrollable text box. In fact a scrollable text box would work perfectly if I
could insert images within the text.

I am hoping to find a way to have a series of areas within a single stage that
can scroll independent of each other. Each area within the stage must be able
to have a combination of text and images.

Is there a way to make this possible. I have a cursory knowledge of action
script.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Try the scrollPane component. There is tons of helpful information online
(just do a google search) but the long and short is that you add the
component to your stage and size it in the properties inspector. Then set
the linkage of the movieClip in the library and in the component inspector,
type the name of the linkage identifier under the "source" field. There are
a bunch of other options to play with and you can skin the component as
well.

(Just in case you've never had to use linkages before, right click on the
movieClip in the library, select "linkage" and then checkmark the "export
for actionscript" selection)

Hope that helps.
