Hello,  
I have a problem with Flash MX TextArea component. I have a flash movie called “main”. I am loading another movie inside “main” movie. Let’s call the loaded movie “bioMovie”. Inside the “bioMovie” there is a TextArea component that loads the text from a txt file. If I publish the bioMovie by itself the TextArea works just fine. However, when I run the bioMovie then I get the TextArea and the text in it fine until I start scrolling. When I scroll the text then the text becomes highlighted and the moment I let go with the mouse it goes to the bottom of the text. Does anyone know what Am I doing wrong?  
Thank you very much for the help.  
Ivan
