Constant Detail

AUTO

Constant
public static const AUTO:String = "auto"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies that scrolling is to occur if the content exceeds the container's dimension. The runtime calculates the number of lines that overflow the container and the user can navigate to them with cursor keys, by drag selecting, or by rotating the mouse wheel. You can also cause scrolling to occur by setting the corresponding position value, either ContainerController.horizontalScrollPosition or ContainerController.verticalScrollPosition. Also, the runtime can automatically scroll the contents of the container during editing.

OFF

Constant 
public static const OFF:String = "off"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Causes the runtime to not display overflow lines, which means that the user cannot navigate to them. In this case, setting the corresponding ContainerController.horizontalScrollPosition and ContainerController.verticalScrollPosition properties have no effect.

ON

Constant 
public static const ON:String = "on"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Specifies that scrolling is available to access content that exceeds the container's dimension. The runtime calculates the number of lines that overflow the container and allows the user to scroll them into view with the cursor keys, by drag selecting, or by rotating the mouse wheel. You can also scroll by setting the corresponding position value, either ContainerController.horizontalScrollPosition or ContainerController.verticalScrollPosition. Also, the runtime can automatically scroll the contents of the container during editing.
