You could for example set up an event listener that listens to the
FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event. That one is triggered every time the
TextArea is visually updated (The Change event only fires when using data
binding or interacting with the component) .
addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, onUpdateComplete);
and the triggered method would look like this .
private function onUpdateComplete(event:FlexEvent):void
{
textArea.verticalScrollPosition = textArea.textHeight;
}
If you write a custom textArea component and put this code in it, you also
have to use validateNow() at the beginning in the triggered method.

Subject: [flexcoders] Automatically scrolling a TextArea to the very bottom?
Hello All,
I am trying to find the common methods, when comparing the TextArea from
Flash 8 to the TextArea from Flex 2.0 -
In my Flash App, whenever I wanted to scroll my TextArea all the way to
the bottom, I used the following code:
myTextArea.vPosition = myTextArea.maxVPosition;
I am trying to sift through the Properties and Methods of the Flex
version, and I am not entirely sure how to accomplish this.
Could any of you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Mike
