Does anyone know how to change the position of the scrollbars? Specifically, I would like to move the vertical scroller from the right edge of the box to the left edge. Seems simple, but I don’t know enough actionscript to solve the problem. Thanks!

For those who want to know how to change the alpha (opacity) of the scrollpane:

1.Double click the scrollpane, it will bring up the ScrollPane edit view.

2.From within that view, double click the Normal Skin symbol.

3.This brings up a 2nd edit symbol view, this one called “ScrollPane upSkin”. Select the rectangle.

4.Change the alpha under the Scrollpane’s properties->color effects->alpha tab.

Perfect! Just what I had been looking for (fruitlessly) in the Adobe doc. I’d like to see this type of info added to the livedocs.

Thanks again!

//Alpha solution for bar

mainCenterScrollPane.verticalScrollBar.alpha = 0;

/////////////////
//Code for backbround

var newSkinClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newSkinClip.graphics.clear();
newSkinClip.graphics.beginFill(uint(0xdddddd), 0.8);
newSkinClip.graphics.drawRect(0,0,272.0, 191.0);
newSkinClip.graphics.endFill();

mainCenterScrollPane.setStyle( “skin”, newSkinClip ); //ScrollPane_upSkin
mainCenterScrollPane.setStyle( “upSkin”, newSkinClip );

Hi Michael,
I couldn’t find a way, indeed it seems the content is an internal asset of the component and changing visibility or alpha of the component also affects the content.
But I’m not sure I understand why you want this, once the scrollBar is hidden, there’s no need for a scrollPane component.. couldn’t you use a plain mask?

Excellent .. was looking for this same solution. Any ideas on how to change the alpha of the scrollBar itself without affecting the loaded source content?
