Scroll Bar Handle Position - Left?

[cVarz]

Is there a way to have the scroll bar appear on the left side as opposed to the right side for a text area component?

Hi there,
Yes you can put your scroll component on the left. It snaps on when you drag
it to the text box, and can be placed on the top, bottom, left or right. Just
drag it close to the side you want it on. It's that simple.

I cant see the scroll bar in MMF so how can I drag it to were I want it. ??? I
am talking about the "scroll bar" that shows itself when the content becomes
larger then the text area.

I am not sure if you misunderstood me or I asked the question with
insufficient details. So, if there is a way for the scroll bar to be placed on
the left, please let me know.

I'm sorry, I did misunderstand. I thought you were talking about the scroll
component that you add to a dynamic text box. You are talking about the scroll
bar on the browser window? I believe I have seen threads about this, but this
is an html or css question, not a flash question. You might have better luck
going to the DW forum or I would recommend the Advanced HTML For Beginners site
at AHFB2000.com. Try a thread search in the html, css. or javascript sections
of that forum. Hope this helps!

I should have posted this from the beginning.

I have a textarea component in a flash movie file (FLA - SWF) all by itself.
It grabs the content from an html document that is formatted in XML. This HTML
doc grabs it's style from a CSS sheet that is linked to the HTML doc that
supplies the flash movie it's content.

Now, when the content exceeds the size of the textarea component, a scroll bar
appears and it is on the "right" side of the .swf. Is there a way I can make
the scroll bar appear on the "left" side of the swf.

This would be ideal for the site I am using it on and if I can't do this, it
means a little revamping on my part.

Thanks for the respones already, maybe this info will better assist you in
helping me. (or anyone else for that matter)

I don't think there is a way to change which side the scroll bar appears
within the parameters of the component itself. But you may be able to
edit the xml file. Or perhaps search for a 3rd party component that has
the layout you want.

Thanks, I searced around just about every forum I could find before I posted
in here. I was hoping fr a response from possibly one of the MM people even
though I know these forums are not official support forums.

Anywho, I will keep looking. One more question while we are on this subject.
I know how to turn alpha on and off, is there a way to change the hue to say
red or yellow instead of green?

In the script pane of the actions layer, frame 1, place this in addition
to the stuff already there:

x.setStyle("themeColor", "0x0033FF");

Where x is the instance name. The "0x0033FF" is the hex number of the
color after the initial addition of 0x. (a blue)
