Interactions within Scrolling Panels
Just to set the record straight about buttons, shapes, Icons, hotspots, and anything else scrolling inside scrolling panels.
If you have a scrolling panel, then you create an object where the panel is, the object sits above, but not in the panel, On the stage, both conditions appear identical. The only way you can tell if the objects are inside the panel, or merely hovering above it is to check the timeline. However, after the object is created, if you move it even a tiny bit, it moves into the panel. Creating it doesn't do it, but even the slightest movement will place it in the panel, as long as the cursor is within the panel when you release it.
In the attached sample, you can see two scrolling panels. One of them I created, then created buttons, a shape, and an icon. All of them were created with the cursor within the boundaries of the panel. The other was created in an identical manner, but after creation, I selected the objects individually, and moved each slightly to place them inside the panel. I created two text boxes and placed both of them inside the panel, to create scrolling. When one panel scrolls, the objects "on top" of the text don't scroll. When the other one scrolls, the objects also scroll.
Note that since they aren't grouped, clicking one doesn't change the state of others.
You don't need groups to scroll objects in a scrolling panel, if they are actually in, and not merely above the panel.
