Hi all,

How are scrollbars added to a text control? I have searched the Developer's Guide, these forums, the Cookbook, and Google and cannot find a solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks all!

The way to control scrolling is by using attributes like:
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"
for the a TextArea component.

From Flex Help (from within Flex Builder - albeit a bit tricky to find!):

"The Text control displays multiline, noneditable text. Use the Label control
if you need only a single line of text.
The Text control does not support scroll bars. If you need scrolling, you
should use a non-editable TextArea control."

"The TextArea control is a multiline text field with a border and optional
scroll bars."
