As Igor mentioned the Text component will provide scroll bars if the text height is larger the the displayed area.
If you are looking to due an autoscrolling text area without scroll bars you will want to listen to the FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event of the Text, and then look at its height (this event is the last before the text is rendered so it will have the correct height). If the height is greater then the max height you want to display you can then kick off a setInterval() that then manually moves the text for the scroll. You will also want to make sure to set the horizontal/veritical scroll policies to "off" so that the scroll bars do not appear as you are moving the text. -james --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Igor Costa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Pascal if I'm not wrong the textArea component already has this feature as > default. > > On 10/28/06, Pascal Schrafl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I wanted to ask, if somebody can let me know, how I can create a > > autoscroll text.
