A lot of people have blogged about this and there have been a few attempts at libraries which solves the problem. Some have gained status and some have gracefully failed silently. It's only recently that I encountered the need to use this method and frankly I prefer browser scrollbars as most users do in my opinion. I feel they are more responsive and have better performance. But damn it ain't easy getting this to work properly and at one point I wondered if it is actually worth the trouble.

It should be quite evident by now that I am a huge fan of Eclipse and FDT for Flash development. I thought it might be cool to drop the guys at FDT an email and get an update of where things are  in the world of Powerflashers!
