Hi Gordon, OK, I've found a few more serious problems with scrolling and filed a bug. There are two larger problems
1. scrolling to the bottom doesn't work when it's done in a for loop 2. after scrolling down, when you use the scrollbar to scroll up all the text above the last line is automatically selected even though the user didn't select it. Just in case the app sample didn't come through in the bug report here it is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="vertical" childrenCreated="showProblem()"> <mx:TextArea width="200" height="120" id="traceArea"/> <mx:Button label="Add another Line" click="addLine();"/> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function writeln(msg:String){ traceArea.text += msg + "\n"; traceArea.validateNow(); traceArea.vPosition = traceArea.maxVPosition; } private function showProblem(){ for (var i:Number = 0; i < 20; i++){ writeln(i + ": " + "test line"); } } private function addLine(){ writeln("another line..."); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> Yours truly, -Brian Gordon Smith wrote: >Please file a bug on the minor problem you're seeing.
