Re: [flexcoders] best general purpose way to keep textarea scrolled to bottom

[Darron J. Schall]

I've done this in the past through code like the following: textArea.addEventListener( FlexEvent.VALUE_COMMIT, autoScrollToBottom ); private function autoScrollToBottom( event:FlexEvent ):void     {         // Auto-scroll to the bottom anytime the text changes         event.target.validateNow();         event.target.verticalScrollPosition = event.target.maxVerticalScrollPosition;     } Essentially, with the above code you never have to explicitly tell the text area to scroll to the bottom - it will automatically do that anything the text property changes programmatically.  So, anytime you assign the text to be something else, your scrollbar will automatically adjust for you. This is code I've used in the past with beta 3, and I haven't tried it with the released version, so it's not guaranteed to work.  :-) -d Pan Troglodytes wrote: 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 __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
