i no this isn't really programing but i wasn't sure where to put this:

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!

The most common issue with loaders and scroll panes is that they are not configured correctly. Check to make sure that you have the correct path for the file you are trying to load, and make sure that the scroll pane and loader are the right size for the content you are trying to display. It also helps to make sure that the content is properly formatted - if you're trying to display text, make sure it's in a text box rather than a movie clip or graphic.
