a list is a type of Array, but I don’t think that’s what you mean…  
Perhaps you have 200 lines of text? And you want to put it in a textfield with scrollbar?

drag a TextArea-component to the stage and give it a name.  
than use this code:

myTextArea.html = true;  
myTextArea.text = “This is your \<b\>200 lines\</b\> of text”;

When there are more lines than the component can show, it will automatically show a nice scrollbar.
