That kind of goes along with the idea of grabbing the image of the text.
It's not a bad idea, actually. Whenever you start dragging the sprite,

my last mail took more than 6 hours to arrive at the list, seems to be

Nothing. Actually, I think it's a good idea. It might be a fair amount
of work in my project, so I don't know if it's the approach
Well, there are the pre-made custom scrollbar behaviors that come with
Director. If you don't want to use them, I have some pretty decent ones I
made myself that require no customization to be able to drop on and use

I thought of that, but I don't think the scroll bar goes away unles

set the 'boxType' property to #fixed while that particular sprite is

Yes, this is extremely annoying - I had to figure out a work-around (also
for
a language program).
The way I did it was clumsy, but seems to work. Whenever the scroll bar is
covered by another sprite, I use a sendsprite to a custom handler in the
text member to change it to a #fixed. Then, when
When the user drags the keyboard over the scroll bar, it slides under
the scroll bar. I imagine it's because the scroll bar, being a system
scroll bar, is dts, and no matter what the zLoc of the keyboard, it will
always appear under the scroll bar.
Ideas on how to get around this?

Certainly, Troy. Upon thinking a bit more, I think the "_root" of my

tie to Outlook. But before that email

Hmm... *for now* the problem seemingly has disappeared, which is in

suspect it has something to do with the fact that I have an alerthook
