View 9 RepliesIs there a way to get a TextArea to automatically scroll down when text is added to it?I have had a look around but havent found anything that works.
View 2 RepliesI have a TextArea control, and sliding the scrollbar all the way down always doesn't show all the text.I think it has something to do with me changing the typeface, because I noticed that when I do the setStyle to change the textFormat style, the textHeight value doesn't change.Has anyone ran into something like this? can I at least access the TextArea sources so I can fix this? Or is there a way to don't know, subclass it and fix it kinda easily?you can check it here: http:/[url].... if you see the scrolling texts, you can try scrolling all the way down, and then selecting the text and pulling farther down, sometimes it'll show more text. Sorry about the spanish.This is an example of a text that usually fails to scroll all the way down[code]..........

I'm pretty familiar with Actionscript, and this one has me completely stumped. What I'm trying to do is to prevent people from scrolling a TextArea with their mouse wheel, as the TextArea is inside of a ScrollPane, and at the moment scrolling one will scroll the other (double scrolling).

View 1 RepliesI need the ability to create a TextArea entity in a constrained area (i.e., it is located at x and y and is w pixels wide and h pixels high and have that never change.), containing a proportional width font. As such, no 'num char entry limit' strategy is feasible. They need to be able to fill the entire area, and if that means 1,000 period '.' characters, or 200 '#' or "W' characters, then so be it.
The two lines following this one consist of 30 periods followed by 30 Ws.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I cannot limit a user to 30 characters. They need to be limited by using a TextArea that will let itself be filled until full, and then refuse further input until space is created by removing existing content. I then need to print that TextArea _as rendered on the user's screen_. Any 'scrolled' lines would be unprintable, and therefore the user's entry must be limited BEFORE any scrolling occurs, or contrariwise, when scrolling occurs, the last entered content would need to be removed and the entity forced to un-scroll. I can program this. It won't be elegant, and in fact will be quite stupid, as any programming where a change event is called with each keystroke or paste and then conditions tested is inefficient, wasteful, and well.
There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.
I don't want to allow linewise scrolling(means through arrow key) in textArea in noneditable mode

I have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).

Something like this [URL]
This is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?

I'm using CS4 Professional version 10.0 Flash IDE (pgraded from Flash8 Pro) and can not get the textArea component to display its selection when it loses focus.

I type some text in either box and select it. The TextFied box shows the selection in gray when I change focus to the TextArea, but not the other way around.I've also tried text_area.textField.alwaysShowSelection = true; With and without setting the property of text_area itself.
