Description

Property; determines whether the horizontal scroll bar is always present ("on"), is never present ("off"), or appears automatically according to the size of the field ("auto"). The default value is "auto".

Example

The following example turns off the hScrollPolicy property, causing the TextArea instance to not have a scroll bar.

You must first add an instance of the TextArea component to the Stage and name it my_ta; then add the following code to Frame 1.

/**
 Requires:
  - TextArea instance on Stage (instance name: my_ta)
*/

var my_ta:mx.controls.TextArea;

my_ta.setSize(320, 240);
my_ta.wordWrap = false;
my_ta.hScrollPolicy = "off";

// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
    if (src != undefined) {
        my_ta.text = src;
    } else {
        my_ta.text = "Error loading text.";
    }
};
my_lv.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/lorem.txt");
