Create a new Movie Clip, give it the name textMC. In the end, this Movie
Clip will be put into a container movie window and will have the part
of the scrollable text (we will use MC textMC placed within MC window
because this way we can easily set the visibility of textMC to 0 when
the person clicks the minimise button, but at the same time still leave the
titelbar visible). textMC has one layer already, rename it to actions.
In the first frame add the following actions:
balkheight = "80";
windowtext = _root.scrolltext;
With the second action we "transport" the variable scrolltext
(which contains our text) from level 0 (_root) to variable windowtext
in Movie Clip textMC. The first line of Action Script sets the variable
balkheight which will be used to calculate the position of the drag-scroll
bar later on
