I just need some help with creating a very basic scrolling frame using the CreateScrollingFrame() API from ROBLOX's GUI library. Yes, I'm choosing this method oppose to inserting a ScrollingFrame object. I find that it works faster, doesn't glitch, and overall looks more genuine. I can't find anything on the wiki that explains it decently, and I've had trouble figuring it out on my own.
So without making this a long complicated question, this is all I've tried so far:
local scroll_frame, scroll_up, scroll_down, scroll_func = rbxgui.CreateScrollingFrame()
scroll_frame.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
scroll_down.Position = UDim2.new(1,-17,1,-17)
scroll_up.Position = UDim2.new(1,-17,0,0)
scroll_up.Parent = scroll_frame
scroll_down.Parent = scroll_frame
scroll_frame.Parent = chat_messages
My actual problem is i can't figure out how to get the scrolling to work. If anybody knows how to use this, or has any source i could study, i would very much appreciate that. Thank you.

I don't think using the Roblox API from the Roblox Gui Library is needed anymore. Their's a ScrollingFrame object that is available..
As I've said, I'm specifically choosing to use this API for multiple reasons.
And regardless of whether It's popular or not, these APIs are still active and functioning. It just happens i can't find any useful information on how this particular one works
I don't see whats wrong with using a scrolling frame?
I didn't say anything was wrong with using a scrolling frame object. This is entirely based off personal preference, and my preference is to use the API. I find it faster, it doesn't glitch as much, and it overall looks more genuine.
Have you checked http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=RbxGui_(Library)
That page has no content. And yes, I've looked around in the wiki for it. Nothing gave a decent example.
The page does have content. The right-most paranthesis was blocked out of the hyperlink. I also don't see the need of using the API to create a scrolling frame because it creates an exact copy of the 'ScrollingFrame' instance.
Actually, no. Turns out the API i was looking for was "CreateTrueScrollingFrame" which doesn't create a new ScrollingFrame instance. So, never mind about the question.
