Need help creating horizontal scrollbar...

Can you post a screenshot of the timeline you are trying to convert. It will help in accurate response.

You would probably need to do it in two step:

- Have the graphic timeline converted into Datalist element, and make the data repeatable.

- Create a Horizontal Scrollbar component and add it to the datalist component (timeilne)

?- If you have the Horizontal scrollbar designed, then select it and convert it to a Horizontal Scroll component (using the HUD - the black overlay that comes up when you select a graphic element)

?- After conversion you would need to define the parts of the H. Scrollbar (Track, thumb, right button, left button). Note: It helps if you designed your H. Scrollbar with these components in AI/PSD.

- Now come back to the artboard, and select the H. Scrollbar by clicking on it.

- Cut the H. Scrollbar

- Click the Datalist element, and go to Edit Parts (in HUD)

- Paste the H . Scrollbar inside the Datalist element. This will attach the scrollbar to the data.

Hope this helps,
