If this is what I thin it is I had the same problem. I had a movie which declared the FScrollBar in an actions layer. Then on another layer each frame loaded diferent content using the same dynamic text box and scrollbar.

Everytime I scrolled partially or all the way down and moved to the next fram the scrollbar would stay where it was before and consequently the text would not start at the top. This code sorts that right out:

myText.htmlText = myData.myText;
ScrollBar.setScrollPosition(0);
ScrollBar.setScrollTarget(myText);
ScrollBar._visible = (myText.textHeight > myText._height);

This also hides the Scrollbar if the content does not exceed the height of the dyanmic text box.

I hope this help you.

on(load){
_root.KPI_des_main.scroll.highlight = false;
_root.KPI_des_main.label.selectable = false;
_root.KPI_des_main.data.selectable = false;
_root.KPI_des_main.selectable = false;

Im not sure this is what you mean but you can scroll to the begining by setting the vPosition and reset the selection by setting it to 0, 0


//output is the instance name for the textarea
output.vPosition = 0;
Selection.setFocus("output");
Selection.setSelection(0, 0);
