Question

In haxe I have a DropDownMenu class that extends MovieClip:

class DropDownMenu extends MovieClip { ...

TextFields are added to DropDownMenus (about 50 TextFields total):

// in a loop in DropDownMenu new method
addChild(myTextField);

When a DropDownMenu is displayed the items further down are hidden as the menu goes off the bottom of the flash player. How can I make these DropDownMenus scroll?

I’ve considered doing something on the rollout mouse event. However I imagine MovieClip provides some mechanism for scrolling its contents.

Answer 1

Please refer to DisplayObject::scrollRect for scrolling a DisplayObject’s content. There’s no such thing as automatic scrolling, if that’s what you were looking for.
