Scrolling bar longer when imported

Question

Hallo everybody I have a very annoying problem with a
movieclip.
I have created a scrolling bar with some button attached and
it works fine. When I open the related swf It is fine. The problem
starts when I import it in my main .fla inside a MovieClip Holder.
the scrolling bar is longer than the one that I can see in the
single swf. What can I do?
the site is www.studiosimultaneo.com and if yo go inn the
section "portfolio" you can see the scrolling bar
thank yo so much

Thank you I did follow the tutorial that you gave me. It is
actually very. If I follow the example it works but I cannot work
it out if I have to use an Horizontal (x) bar and I just need the
scroolbar.
The code from the tutorial was:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrack._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number =
maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrack._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var bottom:Number =
scrollTrack._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrack._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number =
(contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain._y = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._y+speed<maskedView._y) {
if (scrollFace._y<=top) {
scrollFace._y = top;
} else {
scrollFace._y -= speed/moveVal;
contentMain._y += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._y = top;
contentMain._y = maskedView._y;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnUp.onRollOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._y-speed>finalContentPos) {
if (scrollFace._y>=bottom) {
scrollFace._y = bottom;
} else {
scrollFace._y += speed/moveVal;
contentMain._y -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._y = bottom;
contentMain._y = finalContentPos;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnDown.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnDown.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;
scrolling();
And I have tried to change the Height with the Width and the
Y with The X like this:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._width;
var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._width;
var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width;
var maskWidth:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._x=scrollTrack._x;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._x;
var finalContentPos:Number =
maskWidth-contentWidth+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrack._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var bottom:Number =
scrollTrack._width-scrollFaceWidth+scrollTrack._x;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number =
(contentWidth-maskWidth)/(scrollWidth-scrollFaceWidth);
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain._x = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
the contents are sliding from left to ride the But the
scrollbar goes from top to bottom. I really want to understand how
it works. the tutorial is very clear and I did follow it very
carefully.
Would you help me?
Thank you
