Hi,
You can set styles "globally" for components, and/or you can skin a
component in your library:
Assuming this is AS2, the way I did the scrollbar skinning was to
make a library swf, put the components to be skinned in there and skin
them using the usual method, export for sharing and make sure you load
in the library swf to your main file... If you just want to skin a
scrollbar in your main SWF you can do this too - you will need to put
one on the stage somewhere.
You can change some of the scrollbar params with ActionScript &
global styles - look in the Components reference in the help.
My project had separate SWF's for each page, with text fields on. I
found I could not attach the scrollbar at design time, so here is what I
did to get around the problem:
//mpadText is a text field put on stage at design-time
if(mpadText) {
var init = {_targetInstanceName:"mpadText",horizontal:false};
attachMovie("UIScrollBar","mScrollBar",2,init);
mScrollBar._x= this.mpadText._x + this.mpadText._width;
mScrollBar._y= this.mpadText._y;
}

OK, so I am using:

html:true, wordWrap:true, vScrollPolicy:"auto"});
textArea.setSize(250, 225);
textArea.move(25, 50);
textArea.text = "Content 1Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

to create a textarea and scroll when necessary... I am able to style the
textarea the way I want to with:
textArea.setStyle("backgroundColor",0xcc);
How do I reach the UIScrollBar to set the style?
