Need Some Help With Flash 4

OK, so I am trying to impress some people from my college in order to get some sort of job working with their CIS department. So I thought I'd do something with Flash as I hadn't done anything with it in awhile and its rather popular these days.

What I am trying to do is add scroll buttons to control this textbox which reads text from a .txt file called scrolltext.txt. The link to the movie I am working with is here: http://members.dsl-only.net/~kjones/alex/test.swf

As you can see the buttons do not work. I am using this tutorial and have done all the scripting in the tutorial prior to adding the scrollbar: http://www.flashkit.com/tutoria....x.shtml

I am omitting the scrollbar from my website.

Anyone with Flash experience: help me please.

a straigh swf file will resize itself to fit whatever space it is put in. if you imbed it into a .html page it will stay at whatever size you want it.

btw: i gave up on this project. oh well.

btw #2: to convert from .jpg to .png i would think you would just open up the .jpg in photoshop and save as .png. that makes the most sense to me.
