macromedia flash sitedesign : Scrolling text/columns help

Hi. I'm trying to make a dynamic, scrollable text field that has 3 columns.
I'm somewhat new to Flash and can make scrollable text fields using the
UIScrollBar. I created a work-around where I created 3 dynamic text fields and
then created two buttons to assign the "on (release) {
<instanceName>.scroll+=3;}" actionscript to. I'd rather not do that and try
to have all the text in one text field so i can assign the UIScrollBar to it as
well as have it easier to edit for future updates. I did find software where
you can do that
(http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/multicolumntextfield/) but i'd
rather see if it can be done without having to purchase a piece of software.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
