I have a scrollbar attached to a dynamic text box. Problem is, you can’t scroll through the entire text by using the scrollbar! If you highlight the text in the text box and scroll down - it works…! Could some1 plz give me some advice on how to get da scrollbar working properly?
Thanx.

remove the scrollbar, give the text box an instance name, and then put the scrollbar back
I just had this problem and this seemed to work for me. I think you need to have your text in place with an instance name before you add the scroll bar
make sure the instance name of the text box is in the Target TextField of the scrollbar.
