[Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
gah - not my day today i've got my textArea loading up a bunch of text from a string, from an array loaded from an xml file (erk), but the scrollbars for the component don't scroll far enough (either the bar or the arrows) - i've dragged down the text with my cursor and the extra lines are there. does anyone with any experience of using these components know of any reason this might happen? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
try calling invalidate on the component instance after setting/changing the text: UIObject.invalidate() http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/4199.html regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 6:30 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough gah - not my day today i've got my textArea loading up a bunch of text from a string, from an array loaded from an xml file (erk), but the scrollbars for the component don't scroll far enough (either the bar or the arrows) - i've dragged down the text with my cursor and the extra lines are there. does anyone with any experience of using these components know of any reason this might happen? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
I've run into this issue before as well. My (hackish) work-around was to create an empty MovieClip right after the text, set its alpha to 0, set its height to like, 50 or some arbitrary number to force the scrollbars to scroll beyond the text. Very hackish and not the best solution, but I had to get it working right then and there so -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 12:30 PM To: flashcoders Subject: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough gah - not my day today i've got my textArea loading up a bunch of text from a string, from an array loaded from an xml file (erk), but the scrollbars for the component don't scroll far enough (either the bar or the arrows) - i've dragged down the text with my cursor and the extra lines are there. does anyone with any experience of using these components know of any reason this might happen? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

RE: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
I've just added a couple of line breaks to the xml text: myTextField.htmlText = theXmlText + BRBRBR; Hackish, but easy to implement.

Re: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
my solution? I don't use the crappy v2 components. Adobe V2 components = the devil. Believe me when i say it will be time well spent to create or find your own solution.
