AS3 AutoSize Textfield

in AS3, I'm making this dynamic textfield that is populated from an XML file based on where the user clicks.

The dynamic textfield has a custom scrollbar to it. My problem is that if the text inserted into the textfield is less than the previously displayed text, you can still scroll the dynamic textfield as far as the previous one.

Is there a way to reset the textfield autoSize?

Many thanks,

  • I think this link will tell you exactly what to do.

    Are you using any of the standard flex controls? Or, is this flash?

    You can set the width of the field to the string length + some space (by binding the width to the string's length/event handling etc). This may be of interest. Of course,
