Hi Guys.

I have spent hours searching the forums for a solution to my autosize problem. What I have found in the forums, I have not been able to get to work for me.:puzzle:

I have a dynamic, scrollable text box with text loaded from external (.txt) source. The first text file has a link to the second text file, which opens up in the same box. I need the text box to autosize.

I am using Claudio’s scrollbar.

**Here is the code for the scrollbar:**  
fscommand(“allowscale”, “false”);  
bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=true;  
space = 20;  
friction = .9;  
speed = 4;  
speed = 4;  
y = dragger.\_y;  
top = main.\_y;  
bottom = main.\_y+mask\_mc.\_height-main.\_height-space;  
dragger.onPress = function() {  
drag = true;  
this.startDrag(false, this.\_x, this.\_parent.y, this.\_x, this.\_parent.y+this.\_parent.bar.\_height-this.\_height);  
dragger.scrollEase();  
};  
dragger.onMouseUp = function() {  
this.stopDrag();  
drag = false;  
};  
bar.onPress = function() {  
drag = true;  
if (this.\_parent.\_ymouse\>this.\_y+this.\_height-this.\_parent.dragger.\_height) {  
this.\_parent.dragger.\_y = this.\_parent.\_ymouse;  
this.\_parent.dragger.\_y = this.\_y+\_height-this.\_parent.dragger.\_height;  
} else {  
this.\_parent.dragger.\_y = this.\_parent.\_ymouse;  
}  
dragger.scrollEase();  
};  
bar.onMouseUp = function() {  
drag = false;  
};  
moveDragger = function (d) {  
if ((dragger.\_y\>=y+bar.\_height-dragger.\_height && d == 1) || (dragger.\_y\<=y && d == -1)) {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
} else {  
dragger.\_y += d;  
dragger.scrollEase();  
updateAfterEvent();  
}  
};  
up\_btn.onPress = function() {  
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, -1);  
};  
down\_btn.onPress = function() {  
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, 1);  
};  
up\_btn.onMouseUp = down\_btn.onMouseUp=function () {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.scrollEase = function() {  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (Math.abs(dy) == 0 && drag == false) {  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
r = (this.\_y-y)/(bar.\_height-this.\_height);  
dy = Math.round((((top-(top-bottom)\*r)-main.\_y)/speed)\*friction);  
main.\_y += dy;  
};  
};

**Here is the code for the text and autosize:**  
\_parent.Box.main.maininfo.html=true;  
\_parent.Box.main.maintitle.html=true;  
mylv = new LoadVars();  
mylv.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
\_parent.Box.main.maininfo.htmlText=this.mainnursery;  
\_parent.Box.main.maintitle.htmlText=this.maintitle;  
}  
};  
mylv.load(“mainnursery.txt”);  
mylv.load(“mainTitle.txt”);  
this.main.maininfo.autosize = “left”;

( I have two dynamic text boxes in this movie clip)

I am unable to upload a zip file it is too large.

Please help!

Thank you so much.
