    maxscroll returns correct in player 7, not in player 8+

    Hi,

    I was re-using some old actionscript in a new fla. For some reason my scrollbar script didn't work correctly. After some debugging I found out the the maxscroll value was being returned as 2. Strange when there is only two lines of text in a 400px high textfield.

    I published the same fla for flash player 7 in stead of 9 and the problem was gone??? Tried in 8 and there it was again. So something went wrong between Flash player 7 and 8, but what? Is this a known bug and are there any work arounds?

    Cheers

    I currently fixed my problems my letting Flash sleep for a while with a setTimer function and then recheck... this fixes my current issues. This way I believe the problem has to do with the Flash player 9 being faster than 7 and therefor messing up.

    Can't upload a FLa right now as I'm not working from my working computer. When I made the deadline I will try and cook up a test FLA

    Cheers

    PS. I believe the problem have to do with autoSize which I first set to left, measure mc and then to none, and reset the height of the mc and scrollbar...
