scroll (TextField.scroll property)

public scroll : Number
The vertical position of text in a text field. The scroll property is useful for directing users to a
specific paragraph in a long passage, or for creating scrolling text fields. This property can be
retrieved and modified.
The units of horizontal scrolling are pixels and the units of vertical scrolling are lines.
Horizontal scrolling is measured in pixels because most fonts that you typically use are
proportionally spaced, meaning that 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.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
