You could also implementing the scrollbar via code:
*//Create the scrollBar instance
*var scrollBar:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();*//assign the target of the
scrollBar to your textfield*
//theOutput is the TF instance name
scrollBar.scrollTarget = theOutput;
*//make the height the same as the textfield*
scrollBar.height = theOutput.height;
*//Move the scrollbar to the righthand side
*scrollBar.move(theOutput.x + theOutput.width, theOutput.y);
*//add it to the stage*
addChild(scrollBar);
*//check if it is required if so show it,put this function right after
updating your textfield contents with added text
*function updateScrollBar():void{
scrollBar.update();
if (scrollBar.enabled == false) {
scrollBar.alpha = 0;
} else {
scrollBar.alpha = 100;
}
}
