Flash.text.textfield.ScrollV no more works with newest flash player 10.1

Question

Scrolling textfield is no more working with player 10.1.82

My code is: SCROLLV = SCROLLV +2

text is scrolling down nicely with older players, but now with newest player it never scrolls.

scrolling WORKS OK with player: 10,0,12,36

scrolling FAILS with player: 10,1,82,76

Maybe this is more appropriate for the Adobe bug base? – Gregor Kiddie Sep 28 '10 at 13:48 — Gregor Kiddie, Sep 28 '10 at 13:48
Did you check your scrollpolicy? – MonoThreaded Sep 29 '10 at 09:04 — MonoThreaded, Sep 29 '10 at 09:04
well, I am looking for a workaround. What is scroll policy? – Tom Sep 29 '10 at 11:29 — Tom, Sep 29 '10 at 11:29

I've come across this too.

The problem is that the scrollV property of my textfield is reset to 1 when I add new text, instead of retaining it's previous value.

I can run two identical swfs in old and new flash players and I see one keeps it's scrollV and the other resets to 1.

The workaround is to store the scrollV value in a variable before you add new text, then set the scrollV back to that value afterwards.

I am using htmlText BTW, not sure if this is relevant.
