Flash MX 2004 -- ScrollPane.contentPath

Property; a string that indicates an absolute or relative URL of the SWF or JPEG file to load into the scroll pane. A relative path must be relative to the SWF file that loads the content.

If you load content using a relative URL, the loaded content must be relative to the location of the SWF file that contains the scroll pane. For example, an application using a ScrollPane component that resides in the directory /scrollpane/nav/example.swf could load contents from the directory /scrollpane/content/flash/logo.swf by using the following contentPath property: "../content/flash/logo.swf"

Example

The following example tells the scroll pane to display the contents of an image from the Internet:

Hi there.
Did you set the Linkage ID of your movie clip? If you create a movie clip, right-click the clip in the Library and select Linkage. Click Export for ActionScript and enter a Linkage ID of "my_mc". Then put the following ActionScript on frame 1 of the Timeline:

my_sp.contentPath ="my_mc";

Then the clip appears in the ScrollPane.

Hope that helps,
Jen d.

And if I want to create dynamicly an empty movie clip with actionscript... Is there a way to set this movieclip as my scrollpane content ?

why not just create an empty movieclip in the library, and use attachMovie rather than createEmptyMovieClip..... that would solve your ScrollPane issue.
