Okay, for flash 8 - you need to have a) dynamic text
and b) multiline

i didn't have the second one - now it works fabulously.

of course, you need scrollable text just like in support documents, too.

This uiscrollbar thing has been bugging me for the last few days. I had a
dynamic multiline text box being populated by the onrelease of a button. No
matter what I had entered, the scroll bar was inactive. I dragged the
uiscrollbar component from the components window onto the text box, made sure
the instances were named, made sure the box was scrollable. Nothing worked.
Then, I added this to the button action...

scrollInstanceName.enabled=true;

All was fine after that. I'm still fairly new working with actionscript, so I
don't know that this is a proper thing to do, but it sure seems to work. My
best guess is that the uiscrollbar isn't being properly activated since the
text hasn't yet appeared in the box on the frame. Just a guess, though. Perhaps
someone more knowledgeable can chime in on this.
