Dynamic text problems

i know this is going to sound silly but… i have a few questions

  1. when i create a scrollable text field, sometimes when i use the components, the scroll bar does not automatically resize to the dynamic text box 's size.

  2. extaclly where do i format text at. do i have to make them a movie clip first or do i edit in the time line…???

  3. and why does flash cut off part of my text when i turn it into a dynamic text field. i like to crisp clean look wihen it is dynamic form, but it is very agrivating to have to go back and ‘rearrange’ my text boexes (and i have a lot of them)

thanks guys
