Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use a TextArea component, but for some reason the scrollbar is not responding. More precisely, when i run the movie the scrollbar appears, but i clicking on it does nothing. Strangely, if i select the text in the TextArea with the mouse, i can make it scroll, but whenever i try clicking on the scrollbar nothing happens.

Not sure if this helps, but i thought i’d mention that I dragged the TextArea from the component window, and i’m setting the text dynamically through AS. I tried setting the text through the parameters panel but the same problem persists.

Anyone has an idea why this is happening?
