Flash Scroll Bar
Today I was working on a project and I needed an easy to skin, easy to resize, easy to use flash scroll bar for text. Nothing fancy… surprisingly I couldn’t find anything of the sort.
Way back in the popstick days me and my good friend memo wrote some simple scroll bar code that works really well. It does not include features like easing or scroll arrows (whatever you call those buttons at the top and bottom of a scroll bar).
But… it does meet my requirements listed above… easy to skin, resize and use.
To resize the scroll bar, just make the objects inside the movie clips whatever size you want. To target a text field select the scroll bar and type in the name of the text field in the actions panel. There are a few other variables that you might want to adjust but they’re easy to figure out. If you have any questions, email me.
