Ok, I’m still in my first few months of AS3, so if this answer is obvious I apologize.

I have a dynamic text box. It has x,y,width, and height all set. I have scrollbars built for it. They work great. Now, I just need those scrollbars to be conditional.

And it’s not so obvious to me how to do that. If I have a fixed height already set, I can’t just say if the height is greater than this. If I set the autoSize then it goes with the autosize regardless of what I do.

So I don’t know how to go about this. Anyone?
