scroll to end of text

[lazerbri]

i have a text box and can scroll using textfieldname.scroll++
can you set it so it scrolls to the end with out a button press?

thanks would be most happy
my spellings not good forgive me

You can type:

textfieldname.scroll = textfieldname.maxscroll;

This will scroll the text field to make the last line visible.

Thank you for the fast responce that code works in a button
I can't get it to work in the action scrip?

I must be doing somthing wrong?

You may have to wait 1 frame before using it. So, if the text field first appears on say frame 2, call this code on frame 3. I know I've sometimes had to do so in the past when using maxscroll.
