Flash player 10.1 does not scroll text in a TextArea

We have a published Flash application that is getting complaints from users who have version 10.1.82.76 installed. A TextArea is not scrolling, the scrollbar moves, but the text in the TextArea does not move. If you click on the scrollbar it moves the text, but once more text is dynamically added the text scrolls back to the top leaving the scroll bar in the correct location. Flash player 10.0.45.2 works fine. We have duplicated the problem on IE 7 and IE 8 browsers both 32 bit OS's.

We dynamically add one character at a time to the TextArea, set the VPosition to maximum then call Invalidate.

I have been contacted by Adobe and have generated for them a sample SWF and FLA that shows the TextArea issue with 10.1. They have acknowledged the problem. Adobe suggested that I change my application to use a TextField instead of a TextArea. A TextField with UIScrollBar component doesn't have the scrolling issue.

I replaced the textarea with textinput field but now the chat goes on one line.

Is there a way to get wordwrap or multiline specified for the text field?

Yes, just select multiline in the TextField properties area.

Hi, I think you would get better help in one of the other Adobe Forums. Perhaps Flex, Flash or one of the Action Scripts.

This is the Flash Player Forum and the discussions are related to User related Flash Player issues. When you open your thread you will see on the right hand side "More like this" which would relate to the appropriate Forum according to your subject line.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

I also confirm this bug in 10.1.82.76. Previous version worked fine.

We are also seeing this issue with FP 10.1 on our application. Exactly as described.

Can someone from Adobe please contact me through private message for access to a sample implementation - FP 10.0 works, 10.1 doesnt!

Our customer care call center has now confirmed that the problem exists on a lot of different Operating Systems and Browsers. Mac, Safari, Firefox, and 64 bit windows all have the same issue. Will someone confirm that 10.1 changed the way the TextArea componet operates?

could you provide a simple .swf or website where this problem can be easily demonstrated?
