1. Create a MovieClip and set it’s scrollRect
2. Add a sprite to the movie clip
3. Add a bunch of content to the sprite
4. If the contents of the sprite change, update your scrollRect using Sprite.height
5. ????
6. Profit!

Don’t be dumb.

I’ve (finally) found a pretty reliable fix for the scrollrect height, width problem. http://usecake.com/lab/find-the-height-and-width-of-a-sprite-with-a-scrollrect.html

Hope this helps,

this also drove me up the wall!!!

after using a shadow TextField not on the display list as a sort of measuring device, i tried another trick that worked much better and will allow me to use it for a scrollPane as well. if the TextField is in a container sprite, then the TextField instance still retains is correct height and width, even though the container sprite [ with scrollRect ] indicates another height or width.

this simple example shows what i mean.

cClip = new Sprite();

cClip.graphics.beginFill(0×000000);

cClip.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 300)

cClip.graphics.endFill();

pClip = new Sprite();

pClip.addChild(cClip);

pClip.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 200);

addChild(pClip);

Main.LOGGER.debug(pClip.height+” :: “+cClip.height);

good luck!

I have experienced the same problem. It is driving me nuts. I almost tossed the laptop out the ol’ window this morning.

If I figure out a solution before you post one, I will post again. Good luck.
