I would have used callLater(), having only been hampered by not having ever heard of it.Thanks!On 7/13/06, JesterXL <

Use a callLater.  I've used a doLater in the 
past and she worked pretty well.  So like:
 
function log ( s )
{
    debug.text += s + 
"\n";
    callLater ( scrollIt 
);
}
 
function scrollIt()
{
    debug.verticalScrollPosition = 
debug.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
}
 
If that doesn't work, make scrollIt call itself 
recursively 1 time, via a counter.  If that doesn't work, make it 2, 
etc.  I promise it won't be over 10!

Subject: [flexcoders] best general purpose way to keep textarea 
scrolled to bottom
I wish TextArea had a property that would set it to scroll to the 
bottom on adding text.  In the absence of such, I'm struggling to make it 
do that.  I have a log function that looks like this:  private function 
log(s:Object):void {    debug.text += "\n" 
+ s.toString();    
debug.verticalScrollPosition = debug.maxVerticalScrollPosition;  }
Unfortunately, 
it seems that the max position isn't updated yet at this point.  I've tried 
hooking into change/dataChange and other events without luck.  It's always 
scrolled ALMOST to the bottom. What's the best way to solve 
this?-- Jason
