you can put a trace(this) on frame 1 of the clip that has your pdf. that will give you its full path from within the scrollpane.
The content you load through content path gets placed within a movieclip in the sp. I believe its called data_holder but i forget for sure. your path would look something like _sp.data_holder._content On 10/12/06, Kjel Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey Wendy, Thanks for the advice. I have the mx component scrollpane working with a pdf that I have imported into the IDE as a movieclip into my library. I am not adding the movieclip to the stage, rather, I have associated the symbol with the scrollPane. It works great, but I can't figure out how to gain a reference to the content of the scrollPane. Let me know if you know how to do that. Thanks, Kjel Wendy Marino wrote: > Hi Kjel, > > Look for a scroller on flashkit.com. You don't need to use the mx scroll > pane.
