more scrolling stuf

[face2six]

I would like to be able to dynamically determine the _height property of a textbox that is populated by a external file. The point being that if the box is under a certain height then I could leave the scroll buttons out. Can this variable be determined at the time the flash loads or is it always determined by the H setting when you build it.

Glad you have found something... :)
I thought that you wanted to resize the text field itself though...
