Dynamic Text Field Scrolling

I have a dynamic text field that I want to add a UIScrollBar to. The dynamic
text field has an rssreader attatched to it so it is reading from an XML file
on the same server. When I attatch it and go to preview my movie, it doesn't
work. There is just a white rectangle on the right side of the box with no
arrows or thumb box. I can drag my mouse over the text and highlight
everything, but I cannot get the scrollbar to work at all. I've checked to
make sure that my scrollbar is connected to my text instance. Is there
something special about dynamic text that I don't know about? Will it only
work at runtime?

I have this same problem. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would really help.

I copied the actual scroller and put it in my .fla and it worked! Now if I can only figure out links in XML...
