Noob, Scrollable 800x1100 pixel background with Inputs on it?

[Luferah]

Hi, my Flash app's size 800x600, but i want to use a Scrollable 800x1100 gif background, with inputboxes on it, so user can scroll up-down this long form.
Which way should i set this 800x1100 background? ScrollPane doesnt seem to work for this, and cant find in www any tutorial that covers this.

Best Regards,
Fred

PD: i guess i'm expecting an InnerFrame in my Flash, where i can scroll up-down form

make an empty movie clip, put all of your content inside that.

this is how it would be done in pure actionscript

import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var empty_mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('container',_root.getNextHighestDepth());
rect_w = 800;
rect_h = 600;
rect_x = 0;
recty=0;
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(rect_w,rect_h,rect_x,rect_y)
empty_mc.scrollRect = rect;
 
//make your movieclips and soforth downhere and attach it to empty_mc
 

Keep in mind you need to make buttons to scroll your mc up/down

You could also try working with the layer mask function (or whatyamightcallit) instead

btw, this is for actionscript 2.0. Haven't been working with AS3.0 yet

thanks, i got the idea now :)
a Symbol (MovieClip) is like an innerFrame, so i create symbol, make my form in it and then scroll symbol up down... something like that

cheers!!
