Tracy:
Yes that will work, but I only wanted the height to be 35, which
allows for 2 lines. The reason is "screen real estate".
If I set it the Canvas height to 35, then I get horizontal and vertical
scroll bars showing up before I even type anything.
The lowest number I can go is 44.
Jim's research seems to indicate a hard-coded issue if the TextArea
is less than 40(Flex 3).
override public function get verticalScrollPolicy():String
{
return height <= 40 ? ScrollPolicy.OFF : _verticalScrollPolicy;
}
I guess I will need to step back and rethink.
I was beginning to think I was going crazy.
Anyway, guys . . . . thanks for the help.
Jack

Indeed, the TextArea is not behaving as I would expect. Slap it in a
Canvas, and it will work ok.
<mx:Canvas width="200" height="60" >
<mx:TextArea id="ta" width="100%" height="100%" />
</mx:Canvas>

layout="absolute" has no bearing.
I tried the following code and the scroll bar does not show up
when I type in text beyond the 2nd line.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml>
com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*"
creationPolicy="auto" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextArea width="200" height="35"/>
</mx:Application>
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jack

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).

Flex 2.01
This seems so dumb, but I can not figure this out.
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?
Thanks,
Jack
