Scrolling in overlay frames

I am facing a problem where I could not figure out why I can not scrolling some of frames. I contacted support and they figured out that it is because some frames were just overlays and the feature to scroll on them is not possible. So why not make it possible?

Hi, I’m trying to add an overlay with scrolling. I know you can’t create an overlay with a scroll, so I just extend the frame. What I’m trying to do is instead of ordering the overlay to close, I route the close to a new identical (and short) frame without the overlay but the smart animation leaves me with the long frame without the overlay.

What can be done so that after closing the overlay I can switch to a new (but identical) frame with a smart animation that will adjust the frame and keep the sequence without the long frame?

thx!

You can have a scroll pane wherever you want, not sure why you say “you can’t create an overlay with a scroll”

Scrolling in overlay frames seems you can’t scroll in an overlay

Hi, guys!
It was quite unexpected to find out that the overlay can not be scrolled.
Spending some time resizing the frames and setting prototype’s connections between them, only in Google I’ve managed the lack on this feature) Maybe in the nearest future you’ll be add it to Figma and that’ll be great.
