TextField.multiline 735
Example
The following example creates two text fields. The scrollable_txt field has the
mouseWheelEnabled property set to true, so scrollable_txt scrolls when you click the field
and roll the mouse wheel. The
nonscrollable_txt field does not scroll if you click the field and
roll the mouse wheel.
var font_array:Array = TextField.getFontList().sort();
this.createTextField("scrollable_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,
240, 320);
scrollable_txt.border = true;
scrollable_txt.wordWrap = true;
scrollable_txt.multiline = true;
scrollable_txt.text = font_array.join("\n");
this.createTextField("nonscrollable_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 260, 10,
240, 320);
nonscrollable_txt.border = true;
nonscrollable_txt.wordWrap = true;
nonscrollable_txt.multiline = true;
nonscrollable_txt.mouseWheelEnabled = false;
nonscrollable_txt.text = font_array.join("\n");
