Text Entry Field inside Scrolling Panel - Is it possible?
Hello!
I've been tinkering with the scrolling panel, and I would like to know if it is possible to put a text entry field inside the scrolling panel that moves with anything inside the it when you move the scroll bar.
If it is possible with Javascript, I would like to know more about.
Thanks!

Yes, that's possible (no Javascript required), see attached a quick example with one text entry box and a numeric entry box.
Thanks for this! I have fixed it by making sure the text entry fields are properly dragged "into" the panel itself.
Yeah, adding elements to a scrolling panel can be a bit finicky. I always look at the timeline to double-check if an element actually "disappeared" into the scrolling panel.
Like Michael said it is possible and I had multiple text entry boxes move in a scrolling panel.
This is the exact question I had. Where I'm lost is how to get the object to move into the scroll panel. I'd like to add a hotspot or shape, but so far, it doesn't want to nest into the scrolling panel.
Create the scrolling panel with wide margins. Create the object, and you'll find it easier to modify it you get it exact while it is outside the panel. Then drag the object until the cursor is within all the borders of the panel, and release. As Michael says, check the timeline to ensure that it has disappeared into the panel.
You cannot create them in the panel, they have to be created and moved into the panel.
