Customize Scrollbar Thumb?

[Carly J. Born]

Thanks, all.  I found the Custom Controls lesson directly after sending out my initial question.  I think I'm going to try doing that, it should work fine.

Thanks for the ideas!

Couldn't you also just show a small button or graphic at the mouseLoc, overlying the default button, and tracking it with a mouseMove message?

Carly,

Not that I am aware of but you can create your own scroller. 
Obleo has a video here http://intkeystrokes.posterous.com/custom-scroller-for-livecode-ios-with-animati

And you can simulate a scrollBar using a groups scroll. If you group an item or 
a series of items and then make the group smaller than the items it contains you 
can set its scoll from another object.

set the scroll of group "mygroup" to 20

give it a try.

And welcome to the list.

Forgive me if I am missing something obvious.
