Hi...

I'm building a Flash interface, in which there is a text field large enough to display about 8 lines of text...This field is populated by reading in an external text file...The text files vary greatly in length, from a single word to several paragraphs...

So, I'm wondering if there's a way to check the properties of the text field to find out if the text is longer than the visible area...based on the results of this, I would then set the visibility of a scrollbar movieclip on or off depending whether they were necessary...

Any help appreciated...
