[FONT=Arial]I set a text area to disabled in order to control the font, text color, and size. The problem is that I have no scroll bar. I tried adding a line of code setting “scrollV” to true. It doesn’t work. Any suggestions on how to make the scroll bars work? [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();  
tf.color = 0xFF0000;  
tf.font = “Batang”;  
tf.size = 24;  
myTa.setStyle(“disabledTextFormat”, tf);  
myTa.enabled = false;
