Problems with TextArea Component

Hey,I’ve got some trouble with a text area importing xml text via css. I bet it’s a simple thing to fix,but I just can’t seem to understand it. When I preview my file, the Component doens’t seem to ignore the white space in the xml document, allthough I’ve scripted in:

boatContent.ignoreWhite = true;

/as well as

myText.label.condenseWhite=true;

And,is it possible to disable that hideous scrollbar that comes up by default in the text area and replace it with a custom made scroll bar?

Cheers :ch:
