I don't think it sucks that bad.... Take a look for yourself. You have two choices that I can see:
Container Resize: http://www.salttown.com/vrutah/ (click on the left side links to load different length text) Flash Scrollbars: http://www.jasonkimura.com/ (click anywhere on the screen) (not for slow computers) Change the size of the flash window (doesn't allow multiple regions to scroll, can be a bit, flickery) or Use a scroll bar in flash (less usable) They both have their tradeoffs.

I've seen the JS thing done, and it's terrible. It's jerky and annoying to use, and just doesn't feel "right". It definitely breaks the flash-as-an-app feel, and it all just goes instantly back to being a shiny webpage from the 90s. -Josh -- "His comrades fought beside him, Van Owen and the rest...

You could also send the new textfield height to JavaScript and dynamically resize the object and embed (I think, though I'd probably never do it this way).
