Start the Flash program. Click the file type "Flash File (ActionScript 3.0)" from the Flash display screen to create a new Flash project that uses the Flash ActionScript 3 (AS3) programming language.
Click "Tools" from the Window menu to display the drawing tools panel, "Components" to show the Components Library panel and "Component Inspector" to open the Component Inspector panel.
Press and release the "R" key on your keyboard (or select the Rectangle tool in the drawing toolbar) to activate the rectangle drawing tool. Position your mouse cursor on the stage, then click and drag the mouse to draw a rectangle. Release when the rectangle is about 1 inch by 2 inches. Draw four more rectangles directly below the first rectangle so that a column of rectangles is formed.
Press the "V" key on your keyboard (or use the Selection tool in the drawing toolbar) to activate the selection tool. Click and drag a selection rectangle so it completely encloses the column of rectangles you have drawn. Release the mouse button.
Position your mouse over the selected column of rectangles, right-click and select the "Convert to Symbol" option from the context menu to access the Convert to Symbol dialog box.
Make the following selections in the Convert to Select dialog box: Select the "MovieClip" option from the "Type" list box; click the center check box in the "Registration" point icon to align the rectangles to the upper left corner of the ScrollPane; click the "Export for ActionScript" check box; and enter the name "imageCollection" in the Class text box to set the Class name that will be used to access this movie clip in the ActionScript code. Click "OK." Click "OK" again when the ActionScript Class Warning dialog box appears.
Click the "ScrollPane" component from the Components Library and drag it to the stage. Type the name "firstScroll" in the instance name box of the Components Inspector to set a name that the ActionScript code will use to access the ScrollPane component.
Press the "F9" key on your keyboard to open the Actions editor. Position you mouse cursor on the first line of the editor, click and type the code below to import the ScrollPane utility into Flash, import the firstScroll movie clip (symbol) into the firstScroll ScrollPane and set the ScrollPane's width and height to 100 pixels each.
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
firstScroll.source = imageCollection;
firstScroll.setSize(100, 100);
Depress the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard, then press and release the "Enter" key and the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard to play the ScrollPane Flash movie. Click in the horizontal and vertical scroll bars in the ScrollPane to view the other rectangles in the ScrollPane.
