Changing color to a scrollbar component in flash

[Rockonmetal]

I want to change the color of the UI Scrollbar in the flash components to a grayish color. I looked through the help tutorial which is quite general and doesn't give the "info" i'm usually looking for...
Heres what I want to do...
I want to make the scrollbar have a color scheme like this:
Background or Scrollbar Color: #4e4e4e, or #444444
Arrow Color: White
Arrow Color-hover: CCCCCC
I don't know what else I can do... I haven't searched for tutorials on this, I just thought i would ask DD because there have been a bunch of flash users recently come here and answer/ask questions...

Thanks!

I thought this title was a bit long, let me know next time if I should shorten it...

Look at the flash Help files

To me the help files are the tutorials and I have looked through them... it is not simple enough for me...

it's all in the actionscript.



componentInstance.setStyle(propertyName, value)


if you gave your scrollbar an instance name of "srollie" it would look something like this:



scrollie.setStyle("scrollTrack", 0x444444);


for a complete list of editable scrollBar UI items see HERE (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00002493.html)

You can also set global themes and things too, but thats more advanced.

Hey, it doesn't seem to be working...

Here is the action script I put in:


onClipEvent (load) {
scrollie.setStyle("scrollTrack",0x4e4e4e);
}
I put in that, and it doesn't seem to have any change...
Maybe my code i entered in is wrong...
I got the flash file with the external txt file, swf, and fla file in a zip... thanks to anyone who helps... maybe I need to activate it or something, but yet again thats another thing I have absolutely no idea how to do...
