Jason,

I haven't delved into the clip events in Flash 5 yet, but you can download a
Proportional Scrollbar Widget that I created to see my approach to the same
task. It is coded to be compatible with Flash 4 as well as 5 and the code is
very well commented and laid out so that you should have no problem
dissecting it. You can get my file from Flashkit...
