Flash scroll panes and dynamic content:

1. Add a scroll pane to the stage and give it an instance name (ie. "scroller").

2. Create a blank movie clip, give it an instance name ( ie. "contentHolder"), and add it to the library.

Action Script:

1. Set the scroller to use the "contentHolder" MC for pane content. [ scroller.setScrollContent("contentHolder") ]

2. Get a reference to the scroller's pane content. [ contentHolderRef = scroller.getScrollContent() ]

3. Attach whatever MCs you want to the pane reference. We have typically used MCs containing text fields and images and set the x/y parameters to create columns and rows for picture galleries with descriptions and clickable buttons.

4. When you're done attaching things to the reference, refresh the scroller pane. [scroller.refreshPane()]

Example script with scrollable rows of content:

function loadScrollableContent() {
 scroller.setScrollContent("contentHolder");
 var scrollContent = scroller.getScrollContent();
 var columns = 4;
 var xSpace = 120;
 var ySpace = 135;
 var columnNum = 0;
 var rowNum = 0;
 for (x=0; x<10; x++) {
 layer++;
 scrollContent.attachMovie("myMovie", "myMovie", layer);
 scrollContent.myMovie.duplicateMovieClip("myMovie"+x, layer);
 if (columnNum>columns-1) {
 columnNum = 0;
 rowNum++;
 }
 //use embeded fonts
 scrollContent["myMovie"+x].text = "Mr. Phil "+x;
 scrollContent["myMovie"+x]._x = -270.5+(columnNum*xSpace);
 scrollContent["myMovie"+x]._y = -127.8+(rowNum*ySpace);
 columnNum++;
 }
 scroller.refreshPane();
}
