If you're just trying to force some space between the text and the top of the component, you can programmatically insert a newline before the text. This keeps the scrollbar in place but the text pushed down.

Is ther a way to set a margintop in a textarea? I can force a top margin with: .content_txt.border_mc.borderMetrics.top = 10; but than the scrollbar has also an margin-top but that's very very ugly. So only the content needs a margin-top. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
