Hey!

I’ve viewed [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm) and have created a working scrollbar, but I can’t seem to get it to recognize the size of a dynamic text box that gets it’s content from an outside source. It will scroll to the bottom of however big I make the text box, but if I add more text it won’t show it.

Any guidance on building scrollbars for dynamic text boxes?
