hscroll (TextField.hscroll property)

public hscroll : Number
Indicates the current horizontal scrolling position. If the property is 0, the text is not
hscroll
horizontally scrolled.
The units of horizontal scrolling are pixels, while the units of vertical scrolling are lines.
Horizontal scrolling is measured in pixels because most fonts you typically use are
proportionally spaced; meaning, the characters can have different widths. Flash performs
vertical scrolling by line because users usually want to see a line of text in its entirety, as
opposed to seeing a partial line. Even if there are multiple fonts on a line, the height of the
line adjusts to fit the largest font in use.
Note: The hscroll property is zero-based not one-based like the vertical scrolling property
.
