Help with scrollingframe

[gorillaz09]

I'm having a hard time understanding how the scrollframe works, I've finally managed to put together someting that looks like a scrollframe, I have my scrollchild (f) and my scrollframe but it won't scroll, what did I miss?

local tbl = {
   [2393] = "hello",
   [3293] = "hey",
   [3393] = "blabla",
   [12942] = "new",
   [21541] = "new",
   [21542] = "new",
   [21543] = "new",
   [21544] = "new",
   [11431] = "new",
   [11433] = "new",
   [11434] = "new",
   [11435] = "new",
}

SFrame = CreateFrame("SCROLLFRAME", "SFrame", UIParent, "UIPanelScrollFrameTemplate");
SFrame:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent)
SFrame:SetWidth(160);
SFrame:SetHeight(100);
SFrame:SetHorizontalScroll(0)
SFrame:SetVerticalScroll(0)
SFrame:Show();
SFrame:SetBackdrop( {
      bgFile = [[Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Background]],
      edgeFile = [[Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Border]],
      tile = true, tileSize = 16, edgeSize = 16,
      insets = { left = 5, right = 5, top = 5, bottom = 5 }
})
SFrame:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
SFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(1, 1, 1, 1)

local f=CreateFrame("ScrollingMessageFrame","crap",SFrame)
f:SetWidth(160)
f:SetHeight(120)
f:SetFontObject("GameFontNormal")
f:SetJustifyH("LEFT")
f:SetJustifyV("TOP")
f:SetScript("OnHyperlinkClick", function(self, linkData, link, button) 
      if IsShiftKeyDown() then
         ChatEdit_InsertLink(link)
      else
         ChatFrame_OnHyperlinkShow(linkData, link, button) 
      end
end)
f:SetSpacing(0)
f:SetMaxLines(10)
f:SetFading(false)
SFrame:SetScrollChild(f)

local function AddLinks()
   local text = ""
   
   for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
      print(k)
      text = text .. GetSpellLink(k).."\n"
   end
   f:AddMessage(text)
end
AddLinks()

ScrollingMessageFrames don't change size when you add content to them. They have built-in scrolling and don't require ScrollFrame parents. You should be able to make something like the default chat frames using just a ScrollingMessageFrame. If you need a scroll bar, you could probably rig one up using :SetScrollOffset, :GetCurrentScroll, :GetNumMessages, and :GetNumLinesDisplayed.

You need a scrollbar handler, you may wanna take a look at this tutorial:
