Short of whipping your own graphics and scripts, there's no solution for the scroll bars being persistent. Director draws them direct to stage by default and it cannot be changed. Painful, to say the least.
As an aside, there's an xtra called OS Controls (I think) that offers non DTS scrollbars and a host of other useful controls. Regards, Pranav Negandhi <snip> I have a text box [text area] sprite on the stage with scroll box. I am bringing some other flash sprite over the stage at runtime. However the scrollbar seems to persist over the new screen. Why does this happen? any idea/workaround? <snip> [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
