Oops that was Flex 1.5 syntax... should be.
traceArea.verticalScrollPosition = traceArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

<mx:TextArea id="traceArea" verticalScrollPosition="{
traceArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition}" />
I understand you want to dispatch a custom event here but it seems like a
bit overkill.
