Does setting the lockLoc of your group to true do the trick?

I think you're idea of using scrollbars with groups is a good one.   I'm
just 
having difficulty getting it set up correctly.   I'm finding that if I add 
elements to my group that go beyond the right-hand-side of my stack,
Revolution 
moves the vertical sliderbar off the edge of the stack and then the user
can't 
use it anymore.   Are there any example stacks out there that I can study to

see how this is done?
