Hello -

I attached dynamically an “TextArea” component in a MClip (means “TextArea” is empty at this time).

Always dynamically, I create a series of “TextField” (to receive .XML informations), and this inside the “TextArea” component.  
But the “TextArea”'s scrollbars never appear.  
I tried to force them display by ’ TextArea.vScrollPolicy = “on” ', but without succes :q:

Does somebody knows why, please?

NB. I’m certain that logically scrollbars must appear, because the content is bigger (height) than the “TextArea” itself…

Thanks for any suggection(s), have a nice day…
