Hello

I have a scrollbar attached to a dynamic text field.

Online as well as during tests, the scroll bar itself doesnt show until I have “clicked” elswhere and returned. I have seen this question posted here before, but the responses did not solve my problem.

In attempts to solve this I have created a movie preloader, I have placed this dynamic text box at the very beginning of the timeline, and I have also provided more than enough time in the timeline for any lagging code to catch up. Still not working. ugh.

Please help, thank you!
