hi,

i just threw in a scroll bar using flash mx for the first time in my prototype guest book:

(cut and paste URL as it is a free host and will forward you to their homepage if clicked directly)

I've had to add a bunch of returns in the original dynamic text field in order to get a thumbnail for scrolling down. it was my belief that the scrollbar was smart and was able to 'know' how much text is loaded into the text field from a text file, and create the thumb dynamically based on this.

does anyone know any workarounds to this? why it is doing this? or should i just leave it as is. thanks.
