[color=black][font=Arial]Hi Guys.[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]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.:puzzled: [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]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.[/font][/color]

**[color=black][font=Arial]Here is the code for the scrollbar:[/font][/color]**

[color=black][font=Arial]fscommand(“allowscale”, “false”);[/font][/color]  
[color=black][font=Arial]bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=true;[/font][/color]

**[color=black][font=Arial]Here is the code for the text and autosize:[/font][/color]**
