Hi,  
I’ve got a site that looks like this (click the button to enter): [[link]](http://www.pere.myftp.org/users/tonar/tosse/)  
As you can see the text-field has got more text, but the scroller doesn’t work. The text is loaded from a info.txt file. When I write a bunch of text right into the text-field instead, the scroller works just fine. Why isn’t it working when I load the text from a text-file!?? Please help me…

I would make sure that the scrollBar is attached to the textbox instance name correctly. That’s my guess. I’ll take a look at it if you post your fla. I usually have pretty good luck with that component…
