Your solution looks good. We've been turning MouseScroll to false to take care of the scroll and setting TextFieldAntiAlias to Normal to take care of the jumping.

Nice to have another option just in case we need advanced AntiAlias.

Thanks!

Wow!!!! Been trying to figure this out. Advanced Aliasing is the way to go and it's been a shame to sacrifice that for non-jumpy text. Thanks to your fix I can keep my readable text and not have to worry about this stupid bug!

nice one. I noticed this error once in a while but I didn't have the time to investigate further

I'm so glad I found your solution, after doing some experimenting myself I found that rather than adding a random amount to the height, you only need to add the leading value of the text, which you can find dynamically so it should work in all situations.

I just wrote a little post about it: http://www.lukesturgeon.co.uk/lab/2009/06/fixed-vertical-scrolling-text-bug/

@Luke: thanks so much, I couldn't figure it out myself. I will update the class soon.

Is there an AS2 solution to this issue? Thanks,

@Max @Flashvideo: just use the setter method (code above) to fix the bug, change void to Void and that should work.

Hello everybody. I think I found a better solution!!! create text and call fixTextScroll every time after updating text

var txtFieldWithText:TextField //etc...

SomeClass.fixTextScroll(txtFieldWithText);

class SomeClass { public static function fixTextScroll(txtField:TextField):void { txtField.htmlText += "œ" } }

I used "œ" because i don't think that anybody has it embedded, but u can change it by anything u want.. I think u can add more text after that and it will not be broken because "œ" is not embedded :)

home it will work just so well as for me!!

I'm trying to get this work with as2 and i'm not quite understanding your comment about that above:

"just use the setter method (code above) to fix the bug, change void to Void and that should work."

Would you please be able to show how this is done? sorry if this is a dumb question.

This could save me so many hours if you could just post it six months in the past... oh well.

Anyway, I wrote a fix after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this neat. I'll use this from now on.

Delicioused.

Hi. First of all this solution is very $#&^%$ great. But i need some help with one issue here ... Im working on a project in CS4, which causes a bug when trying to access a blendShader property in the TextField describeType (there is a blendShader on TextField on CS4 - a writeOnly property) and a blur problem in the fonts.

Anyone knows how to do a work around to this problem?

Gracias

Thanks again Tomek.

the line no 70 says : // clone the textFormat of referenceTextField as well defaultTextFormat = referenceTextField.getTextFormat();

I think it should be within the if (referenceTextField) bloack since on a null object you cannot access the getTextFormat();

The rest of class works as a charm. Thanks
