I have a dynamic textfield that displays text using LoadVars. Some of the texts are longer than what fits in the textfield and my problem is that I dont want the scrollbuttons to be visible when the text fits in the textfield. But I want them of course to show up when needed. Anyone have a nice solution to this problem? Maybe count the characters that fit in the dynamic textfield?
