It wouldn't take much to get that working, unless you needed the keyboard to work solve any focus issues. if its a click to open, scroll select, you can do that with a mc, your own scrollbar a mask. depends on how much functionality you really need. On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 3:31 PM, Brian Weil

Hi Dave, Probably the best guideline to use for frame rate is the capacity of your end users' machines, that and the fact that the Stage.frameRate setting is a speed limit, not a guarantee. The processor capacity and the complexity of your swf in terms of processor usage (calculations,
