Is there a limit on characters in a scroll text box?

[smitnit]

I built a scrolling text box from a tutorial here. I'm psyched it actually worked, BUT I noticed that if I put a ton of text in, it wouldn't work. When I took some out it did work. I had to keep playing with it and edit the text down. Even if I put some (\r) returns in, it counted that. Is there a way to set the box to accept more characters?

do you have a maxscroll set?

no..this is what I have...maybe you could take a look.

onClipEvent (enterFrame){if(frameCounter%speedFactor==0)
{if(scrolling=="up"&&daTextBox.scroll>1){daTextBox .scroll--;}
else if(scrolling=="down"&&daTextBox.scroll<daTextBox.m axscroll){daTextBox.scroll++;}frameCounter=0;} frameCounter++;}

What do you think?

Does anyone know how I can get more text in my scrolling textbox?
