```auto
anObj.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 0, 0, 200, 20);
anObj.my_txt.wordWrap = true;
anObj.my_txt.autoSize = "left";
anObj.my_txt.text = " a lot of text goes here ";

```

anObj is a scrollpane. after doing this, scrollpane doesn’t get its scrollbars even though the text is out of its limits. why would that happen? basically, how can i make the scrollbars appear if the text is out of scrollpane’s limits?
