Re: [Flashcoders] Firefox, CSS overflow=scroll, flash buttons bug

A major benefit to making buttons like this in Flash is you can target nested movieclips, textfields, etc. inside a movieclips but you cannot with buttons. This opens up all kinds of custom actions for your buttons that are impossible with Button instances. :) > -Original Message- > F
