dynamic text field with custom scrollbars in AS2

i want to load text from an XML file, have the text fade in with the rest of the page (currently achieved through a timeline animation), and have customized scrollbars. is this possible? i seem to be running into a variety of issues.

UPDATE:  I figured it out!  Turns out you have to have it nested in *2* movie clips (creating the tween fade in the grandparent mc) AND make sure you are embedding the font as well.

while i was working for brightcove, i helped design a little tool called Aftermix. i worked closely with both the lead designer and the developers to design the user interface for the titles, transitions and effects menus. well, thank you Jaime for informing me that Aftermix won an MITX Award for “Best Rich Media Application.” nice.

congrats to the entire Aftermix team, they are great guys and i miss working with them!
