Using the text tool, I creaeted a text field, set the option to “Dynamic Text” and gave it an instance name of “scroller”.

I then added the UIScrollBar component to it. Put some lines of text into the field and tested it. So far so good.

However, when I try to put a larger amount of text into it (about 4,000 characters) only about 2,000 characters show. The rest of the text is cut off.

Any ideas of how I can get all of the text to show???

Thanks in advance!
