flash actionscript: Hi,

What is the alternative for 'setScrollPosition' in flash mx 2004 prof? It doesn't work anymore and macromedia does not answer that question on any forum!

The easiest way is to copy / paste a scrollbar from an old MX or F5 project
into MX2004 - the full component will be copied along with the scroll bar
itself, that way you can still use the much simpler and more robust scrollBar
functions rather than the buggy and less handy scrollPain

Yes, I now that solution and I have used them also, but I need the scrollpane
because it is filled with dynamic content with movieclips and actionscript in
those movieclips to copy and organize the movieclips in it.

'but I need the scrollpane because it is filled with dynamic content with
movieclips and actionscript in those movieclips to copy and organize the
movieclips in it.' You can load images / moviclips / running swfs into the
old MX scroll box too, Anyway what was wrong with the
FScrollPane.setScrollPosition method? Are you sure it doesn't work? Are you
sure you are targetting It correctly? It may just need refreshing - i.e:
contentSP.setScrollPosition(0, 0); contentSP.refreshPane();

You want to use setHPosition and setVPosition. They both accept a Number
but if the number is greater than the scroll amount, it will not move the
pane.

This is not marked as the answer, but James is indeed correct.

I too found this very helpful.
