and the scrollbars work together.

I made an example for you here:

the .swf file is here:
http://users.skynet.be/fa878553/ForNancy/Nancy.swf
and I uploaded the .fla source-file for ya:
http://users.skynet.be/fa878553/ForNancy/Nancy.fla

Downside of this is:
The text is static. i.e.: a lot of work when you have to update the numbers.
as usual, there is a solution for this, but I didn't had the time to make it (yet).

The above example works by not using a textbox with scrollbar, but a scrollplane (you can find it in the Flash UI window) instead. Inside this scrollplane I loaded a movieclip (called TextfieldsAllTogether in the example) and in that movieclip I dropped a bunch of textfields that are displaying the text. (push F11 in Flash MX to display the library, and double-click on the movieclip "TextfieldsAllTogether" to view them).

I hope this is a bit helpfull...

The arm with the sword rose up as if newly stretched aloft, and round the figure blew the free winds of heaven.”
