Flash 8 Scrollpane

To fill up your scrollpane, an option would be to load an external swf into the scrollpane. You can create a separate swf with the images etc in it, set the scrollpane's contentpath parameter to the name of the swf you created i.e. images.swf (and make sure you save them into the same directory on your computer/website.

Customizing the scrollbars and graphics on the scrollpane got a lot harder in MX2004 and flash 8. To remove the small border add this code to the movie your scrollpane is in:

myScrollPane.setStyle("borderStyle","none");

(Make sure you change "myScrollPane" to what ever instance name you gave to your scrollpane...to give the scrollpane an instance name, just click on it once and in the properties panel there should be a box to type your name into. Remember this is case-sensitive.)

To change the actual graphics and colors of the scroll bar you have to open up:

C:Program FilesMacromediaFlash 8enConfigurationComponentFLAHaloTheme.fla

and then, in HaloTheme.fla's library, navigate to:
