Hey guys,

I have a dynamic text box loading text from a txt file. When I initially created my scrollbar, I used dynamic text but didn’t load from a text file and the scroll works great. However, leaving the dynamic text box the same size but leaving it empty so it can load the txt file, I run into an issue of a lot of blank space when using the autoSize property set to “center”. However, if I reduce the dynamic text box size down the text loads in and it is MICROSCOPIC. So if anyone has a better idea of doing this I would be greatly appreciative. Also, I’ve embedded the font, so the mask has no problem displaying the text properly. Thanks!
