Hey All,

I’ve got a little scroller that pulls some database and uses it to display a series of images and links in a ScrollPane.

The images work just fine, but whenever I attach a TextField, it won’t display. The new scroll height is registered because the scroll bars are the appropriate size, but no text is rendered.

If I use the exact same code to attach it to \_root it works just fine.

Here’s the bulk of the code:

The clips are being positioned correctly, and in debug mode it appears that all of the textfields are attached.

```auto
function PositionClips()
{
 var TitleFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
 TitleFormat.align = "center";
 TitleFormat.bold = true;
 TitleFormat.font = "Arial";
 TitleFormat.color = 0x660000;
 TitleFormat.size = 16;
 TitleFormat.underline = true;
 for(i = 0;i<_root.ImageClips.length;i++)
 {
  var PortClip:MovieClip = _root.Scroller.spContentHolder["Port" + (i+1)];
  with(PortClip)
  {
   _y = _root.CurrentY;
   _root.CurrentY += _height + _root.Padding;
   _x = Math.floor((_root.MaxWidth - _width)/2);
  }
  TextWidth = 0;
  VerticalPos = PortClip._height + PortClip._y + 5;
  _root.createTextField("Port" + (i+1) + "Title",i + 5,TextWidth,VerticalPos, 0,0);
  var TitleText:TextField = _root["Port" + (i+1) + "Title"];
  TitleText.text = _root.Titles*;
  TitleText._url = _root.Links*;
  TitleText.autoSize = true;
  TitleText.setTextFormat(TitleFormat);
 }
 
 _root.Scroller.invalidate();
}

```
