macromedia flash Professional 8 loaders and scroll panes help

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i put this in programming but no one replied and i don't know how to move threads so I am just reposting it here.

im using macromedia flash Professional 8 and i can't get scroll panes or loaders to work.

i put a loader in from the components panel, i specified the swf file (in the same folder) that is to be loaded and i set the scaleContent as false. when i test it it does not work. WHY! HELPPPPPPP!

also. I am not really sure at all how to use a scroll pane. i converted a series of images and text into a movie-clip with: export for action-scripting and export in first frame, enabled. I put a scroll pane from the components panel onto the stage and specified the movie clip and set the scaleContent to false. again no success. i didnt change the shape of the scroll pane.

pleeaaasee help me!

Additionally, it may be beneficial to provide more specific details about the issues you are encountering, such as error messages or the specific code you are using, in order to get more targeted help.
