This seems to be working fine for me, unless I'm missing something... I copied your code into its own layer on frame one. I then dropped the ScrollPane component into my library. Created a new MovieClip, exported it for ActionScript and gave it an identifier of mcEventText.
When I run the swf, it creates the scrollpane, adds the mcEventText MovieClip and resizes its self to the desired dimensions. If the mcEventText clip is larger than 292x180 the pane scrolls correctly. I added a TextArea component and a TextInput component to the mcEventText clip and it still seems to work fine... The TextArea will have *its own* scroll bars within mcEventText, and won't run off the pScrollPane scroller - so you would have nested scrollpanels. Are you trying to get the scrollbars of the textfield to use the ones from psScrollPane?
