I've got to say that the first link is much nicer than the "resize the
flash" solution they've got here, so perhaps it's not so bad an idea.
And the second link, that's a cool idea done fairly badly. They're not
proper scroll areas, since the mouse wheel doesn't work. Just some sort
of dodgey home-made look-alike.

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.
Phil: I would be glad to send you the source if you want it.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How can I display a tall document?
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.

Make a ScrollPane width and height equal to Stage.width and
Stage.height of a fullscreen app and load a clip containing your text
field into the ScrollPane.
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).
