As soon as you need a scrollbar in the way the SDK implements it, you need a whole bunch of display objects, the player has to mask stuff, etc, which means that tons more work is happening.
Here's a thought: Don't put a scrollbar in the renderer. Instead, on hover, float a scrollbar over the renderer they are floating over. I think it will be a bit of work to implement, but I think something like that will scroll the best.
