TextArea.maxVPosition

Read-only property; indicates the maximum value of TextArea.vPosition. The default value is 0.

Example

The following example accesses the maxVPosition property to set the initial vertical position of the TextArea called my_ta to the bottom. It also traces the current vertical position as the user scrolls up and down.

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 = true;

var taListener:Object = new Object();
taListener.scroll = function(evt_obj:Object) {
 trace("vPosition = " + my_ta.vPosition);
}
my_ta.addEventListener("scroll", taListener);

// 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;
          my_ta.vPosition = my_ta.maxVPosition;
    } else {
        my_ta.text = "Error loading text.";
    }
};
my_lv.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/lorem.txt");
