How do you reset the scrollbar in Flash? (I’m using the component, not a cusom scrollbar.)

If you go [here](http://axial.media3.net/projects/mtg/home.cfm?b=true&l=sponsors&s=home&m=4&id=12), scroll ALL the way to the bottom and then click on “Donations” - you’ll see the scrollbar stays in place.

How do I get it to refresh each time new text is loaded? I’ve tried refreshPane() and a few other things, but nothing works.

Thanks.

setScrollPosition(0,0)… something like that… look up the help on the scrollbar … and don’t get confused between scrollBAR and PANE …!

None of these suggestions work beyond the first time. ☹

Here’s the code:

```auto
	function getArticle_result(result) {
		_root.content.articleTitle.htmlText = ("<b>" + result.items[0].articleTitle + "</b>").toUpperCase();
		_root.content.articleBody.htmlText = result.items[0].articleBody;
		_root.content.scroll01._visible = result.items[0].scrollbar;
		_root.content.scroll01.setScrollPosition(0,0);
		_root.content.scroll01 = 1;

	}

```

to reset it just put this line where and whenever ever you want to reset it.

textFieldName\_txt.scroll=1;

where textFieldName\_txt is the name of you textField.
