Dynamic Text and external file

[Renidrag]

I have a Dynamic text on my movie that i want to scroll from bottom to top, I have all of this done fine
I want to load data from an external file into this text field this works fine.

but

depending on how big i drag the size of the dynamic text field, it only shows what fits in it.

so

How do i make the size in height auto resize to the amount of text that will very in the external text file?

Any Suggestions, Thanks in Advance.

Still working on this problem, I cannot resize the textbox or have it auto resize to the dynamic text that is loaded from the text file.

Any help or suggestions would be greatl appreciated.

I don't want to use the scroll feature, unless someone can tell me how to set it up to smooth scroll, I set it up to auto scroll but it was hard to read as it jumped up line to line not pixel to pixel.

you can set the autoSize property of the textfield:
my_txt.autoSize = "left";

Now, if the textfield has multiline = true and wordWrap = true then the textfield will resize its bottom edge to contain the entire loaded text. If wordWrap = false then the right side will also resize.

If you want to scroll by pixels, use the scrollpane component and put your textfield inside a movieclip.
