i have created a website in flash mx 2004 and on some computers, some of the
text scrollers (not all, though) don't work. the dynamic text box, the text
inside, and the scroll bar are all present, but the text does not scroll and
the scroll bar looks as if it is not activated, becuase there is no scroll
thumb. when i check on other computers computers, they all work fine.

the sections in question are "about" and "press". "menus" seems to work fine
the site consists of an html index with an embedded swf that loads to a swf
which contains 9 movies for each section. i am new to this, so i might not be
setting it up right. i have 9 empty movie clips on the main stage with the
telltarget and gotoframe actions to load the corresponding movie. this seems to
work fine to keep my buttons loading the movies allright, but i wonder if it's
effecting the scroll bars.

any help is SO appreciated!

This is just a thought but have you tried to verify that the player version is
correct. I recently found a problem (many problems in fact) upgrading to Flash
7. I had a short movie that loaded and operated all my other movies. I have
over 500 files on my site and a hodgepodge of versions of Flash from 4 to 7. I
upgraded some of the files but never the main "index" file which was done in
Flash 6. When this tried to load Flash 7 movies, none of the components worked
correctly and, since the main file was in Flash 6, it never correctly
identified that the version 7 player was not installed.
