Not too difficult: (using mx)

Select text tool (make sure drop-down menu in properties menu is set to dynamic) & drag out where u want text box.

Give it an instance name in the properties menu (like myText)

Drag out a scrollbar element from yer components menu (ctrl f7 if the menu ain't open) and place where u want it.

In yer properties menu, should see 2 fields: Target TestField
(should be set to yer instance name.
if not, click on it & give it the same instance
name)

Horizontal either True or False (when making it false, may have to reposition where on the text box you want scroll bar.

Good luck!
