Description
The integer maxscroll property tells us the largest allowed scroll value for a text field. It represents the number of the last line in a text field that can be used as the top line in its viewable region. Note that maxscroll is not equal to the number of text lines; that value must be obtained manually, as discussed under TextField.bottomScroll.
See Example 18-7 under TextField.scroll for sample scrolling code.
