Thanks, but I am talking about having it scroll, not just be

html (style="overflow:auto; height:400px;") is there a simple way like
this in as?

TextFieldInstance.scroll

and

TextFieldInstance.maxscroll

Only works if the field is set to multLine. You need to generate your own scrollbars, or if using AS2 link a UIScrollBar instance to it (or use a TextArea component).

You don't get any automatic scrollbars with text fields in Flash, only text fields themselves. For anything with scrollbars you need to use components.

cheers,
