Hi everybody,  
Im working on a chat system based on the PHP sockets + Flash tutorial on kirupa, but translated to AS3. Everything is working fine but I have an issue with the UIScrollBar that can´t figure out.

As you can see on any chat system, or messenger system, the scroller is continusly moving to the end of the text container if a message incomes. I need the scroller keep moving and show automatically the last message pushed in the htmlText field associated with it, but its always static.

Thanks in advance for your help.
