disappearing lines of text

[chi-styler]

hi,
i've a strange problem trying to move some differently sized dynamic multiline text boxes. when you scroll up or down(using the up and down buttons in particular) all but the first lines of text are lost from the multiline boxes. but if you click on any of those, the text reappears. now it's not actually scrolling, it just redraws the boxes in different positions.
i have tried messing about with all the text box attributes, removed the drawn boxes, no luck. i am just wondering if anyone has come across this anomaly, or even it's just me.
here is the movie:

thanks for any advice,

Chi

It seems that you set text contents then apply custom textformat.

You may try applying custom textformat before setting text contents.

thanks, but no difference unfortunately

I have disappearing text on comboboxes and pushbuttons. Really disturbing. Does not make my apps look like any RIA.

it's really annoying me, and i can't think of a rational explanation, though i'd be happy any workaround.

Have you tried including all characters on the textfield?

Try createTextField with initial height.

I can reproduce it. If we createTextField with initial height as 0, and set autosize=true, then only the first line appears until we force it to refresh either by click on it or resize the player window.

Aah, many thanks. doesn't make much sense to me, but never mind

That only appears when swf is played by my swf player.

It works all right in html and on test movie.
