.scrollTo()

Applies To

TextField

Availability

Flash 6 and above, using AS1 or AS2.

Usage

<TextField>.scrollTo(line [, seconds, animation type, delay, callback, extra1, extra2]);

Parameters

line : Desired line that the textfield must scroll to.

All other parameters are standard tween() related. Refer to the .tween() method for reference.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Shortcut method; scrolls the TextField to an specific line. The line should be between 1 and the value from the TextField's .maxscroll property, inclusive. When using this method, remember that the .scroll property - the one that is used by Flash to control the TextField's current line - should always be an integer. Because of this, scrolling doesn't work on a per-pixel basis but on a per-line basis, so animations done on this property may look odd depending on the TextField's number of lines, size, and font size.

Examples

// Scroll a textfield to line 100 in 0.5 seconds using a linear transition
<TextField>.scrollTo(100, 0.5, "linear");
