I'm using the techniques discussed in this thread on ActionScript.org to load formatted HTML text into flash. I also want to scroll said text, and for that purpose I'd like to use Flashscaper's scrollbar. I've run into a bit of a snag, however.
The text displays fine. However, the scrollbar does not appear when initiated and the mask (a red rectangle) can be seen on the right side of the content area; not the entire thing, just a red area about 5-10 pixels wide. The text can be scrolled using the mouse wheel, so the scrollbar functionality is intact. I think this has something to do with the transition within the ContentText function, but when I comment that out, the text doesn't display at all, nor does the scrollbar. Listed below are the three components to this project.
ContentText.as:

public function ContentText(paraString:String)
{
contentPage = paraString;
myURLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLRequest = new URLRequest("data/styles.css");
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadCSS);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
}
private function ioErrorHandler(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
{
trace('download failed');
}
private function onLoadCSS(event:Event):void
{
bodyTextField = new TextField();
var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
css.parseCSS(event.target.data);
myURLRequest = new URLRequest(contentPage);
bodyTextField.x = 50;
bodyTextField.y = 50;
bodyTextField.width = 200;
bodyTextField.height = 200;
bodyTextField.multiline = true;
bodyTextField.wordWrap = true;
bodyTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
bodyTextField.selectable = false;
bodyTextField.styleSheet = css;
bodyTextField.condenseWhite = true;
addChild(bodyTextField);
myURLLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadCSS);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onHTMLLoaded);
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
}

myTransitionManager = new TransitionManager(this);
myTransitionManager.startTransition({type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5.5, easing:None.easeOut});
}
}
