Hi [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com),

In my program, I have a dynamic text field that grows as the game goes on - my problem is, whenever new text is added to the existing text, my UIScroller scrolls to the uppermost position, so the user has to scroll all the way down to read the text most recently added.

Is there a simple way to make the scroller go to the lowermost position, like in MSN or other chat systems? Google and Flash Help have both failed me on this one 😕

Thanks!
