Try yourTextArea.validateNow() after adding the extra text. I seem to remember that works, though I can't swear to it I'm afraid (and can't check just now).

I am using Modules with layout="absolute". In a MXML file I have a TextArea where I have set the width="300" and height="35". <mx:TextArea top="10" left="30" width="300" height="35"/> I can add text beyond 2 lines, but no scroll bar is displayed. If I set the height="100%" then the scroll bar shows up when I type text beyond 2 lines. I can also place it inside a VBox and set height="100%", but that just adds unnecessary code. That also causes other positioning problems. However, I want/need to set the TextArea's height. What am I missing? Is there a simple way?
