scrollTarget property so it can be attached
to a TextField component instance.
Note: When you use ActionScript to update properties of
the TextField component that affect the text layout, you must call the
update() method on the UIScrollBar component instance to refresh its scroll
properties. Examples of text layout properties that belong to the TextField
component include width, height, and wordWrap.

| UIScrollBar | () | Constructor |
public function UIScrollBar()| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Creates a new UIScrollBar component instance.
| getStyleDefinition | () | method |
public static function getStyleDefinition():Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Retrieves the default style map for the current component. The style map contains
the type that is appropriate for the component, depending on the style that
the component uses. For example, the disabledTextFormat style
contains a value of null or a TextFormat object.
You can use these styles and call setStyle() on the current
component. The following code overrides the default disabledTextFormat
style on the specified component:
componentInstance.setStyle("disabledTextFormat", new TextFormat());Object — Default styles object.

| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Sets the range and viewport size of the ScrollBar component. The ScrollBar
component updates the state of the arrow buttons and size of the scroll
thumb accordingly. All of the scroll properties are relative to the
scale of the minScrollPosition and the maxScrollPosition.
Each number between the maximum and minumum values represents one scroll position.
Parameters
pageSize:Number — Size of one page. Determines the size of the thumb, and the increment by which the scroll bar moves when the arrows are clicked.
| |
minScrollPosition:Number — Bottom of the scrolling range.
| |
maxScrollPosition:Number — Top of the scrolling range.

Forces the scroll bar to update its scroll properties immediately.
This is necessary after text in the specified scrollTarget text field
is added using ActionScript, and the scroll bar needs to be refreshed.
