valueCommit=”id.verticalScrollPosition = id.maxVerticalScrollPosition” tag on the TextArea in mxml works great for me

I found that using Binding is much better than using the timer to continuously check for the scroll position something like...

BindingUtils.bindProperty(inputBox,"verticalScrollPosition",inputBox,"maxVerticalScrollPosition");

yeah .. thats it. Just one line ..

Thanks for this USEFULL site Peter !!!

Do you have a way to show the first or last position on a text that is larger than a ?
When the user/an AS script set a text longer than a InputText, the cursor stay on the last position.
In the most case, users want to see the begening of the text, but when I set the cursor position, this does not make the InpuText control to show the beginning of the text.

Thanks

Mandy (not that I expect you're still awaiting a response), I posted a solution for auto-scrolling a Flex DataGrid control at "Creating an auto-scrolling DataGrid control in Flex". Peter

Thanks for that Peter – even as a relative beginner, I was able to copy/paste and get it working – and got some brownie points from my boss a a result :)

Michael Richardson,

You’re in luck! Copy and paste the code into Flex Builder and you can see what it does. ;)

Could you show some examples? I’d like to see what it is that you’re actually producing.
