Text scroll ?

[UNDREAM]

can I get a very basic example of scroll up and scroll down buttons ? They'll automaticcaly be visible if the text is longer than the text space.

thank you.

if (myTextField.maxScrollV > 1) {
    btns.visible = true;
} 

[UNDREAM]

whats that MAXSCROLLV ?
:S:S


btw, thx.

[UNDREAM]

what I'm trying to build is --- buttons.. Not the visibility thing at first..
I dont have the buttons (right now) to hide or show (set visible).

Here is a link to the livedocs about maxscroll and textfields

You can build up your own buttons or use UIScrollBar

var infoText:TextField = new TextField();
...

if (infoText.maxScrollV > 1) {
    var infoScroller:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
    infoScroller.x = infoText.x + infoText.width + 10;
    infoScroller.height = infoText.height;
    infoScroller.scrollTarget = infoText;
    addChild(infoScroller);
}

I just posted my own scroll bar class. If you want to get down and dirty you can pour through my code.
