Try this:
 
  myTextArea.text = newText;
  myTextArea.validateNow();
  myTextArea.vPosition = myTextArea.maxVPosition;

        I'm programtically selecting text in a TextArea component by calling 
setSelection( startIndex, endIndex ), but often times, the selection is 
offscreen. 
        
        Is there a way to get the TextArea to scroll so the selected text is 
part of the displayed area? 
        
        I can get the text area to scroll to the end of the text by setting 
vPostion = maxVpostion, but I'm not sure of a way to calculate the vPostion of 
currently selected text.
        
        Searching the list, I've seen solutions for doing this with a List, but 
not TextArea. 
        
        Thanks
