dynamicText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
dynamicText.embedFonts = true;
dynamicText.multiline = true;
dynamicText.wordWrap = true;
dynamicText.htmlText = "<p class= 'red-text'>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor consequat. </p>";

dynamicText.width = 450;
dynamicText.height = dynamicText.textHeight;

any fixes??

Answer 1

You can disable the scroll wheel with dynamicText.mouseWheelEnabled = false. Also you should set dynamicText.height = dynamicText.textHeight + 4; because the text field has a padding of 2 pixel around the text (see docs)
