I’m looking to show/hide a UIScrollBar component when either, text is loaded or text goes below the lower edge of the text box that the UIScrollBar is targeting.

I’ve looked at [this tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/hide_scrollbar.htm) and extracted the code below, however it doesnt’ work for me.

I suspect I need to use a different event?

```auto
 
scroll1._visible = (description_txt.maxscroll > 1);
description_txt.onChanged = function() {
 scroll1._visible = (this.maxscroll > 1);
};

```

Any help would be most welcome.
