        Hello All,



        My name is Jason & I'm new to this list.



        I came across this tutorial on how "easy" it is to make scrolling

text in flash.



        http://www.builder.com/Graphics/ActionScript/ss03.html



        Well, I'm following all the instructions & am still falling short of

success.  I can understand all of the scripting stuff that they are

mentioning & have applied that, however I don't get how do you make the text

field a certain # of lines & still have text underneath it.  I made my

custom text box, but evertime I keep adding text to it so that it's long

enough to scroll, it makes my text box longer so that there's never anything

to scroll to because it's already visible when I test my movie.. is there

some type of masking deal here that needs to be applied to this?  They

didn't mention it very clearly in the tutorial how to set a text box at a

certain size.. etc..



        Please help.
