Hello,

I’ve been working on a project that feeds html text to a textArea. I had to abandon using the textArea since I could not control the horizontal scroll. Now I use that same textArea as the source for a scrollPane. The problem is that tables in the html text do not render as tables.

Has anyone else experienced this?

The more I use Flash, the more I want to get away from it!
