Flex中validateNow用法说明一例：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application name="TextArea_maxVerticalScrollPosition_text" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" verticalAlign="middle" backgroundColor="white" creationComplete="init();"> <mx:Script> <!--[CDATA[ private var timer:Timer; private function init():void { timer = new Timer(500); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer); timer.start(); } private function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void { var now:String = new Date().toTimeString(); var str:String = "[" + timer.currentCount + "] " + now; textArea.text += str + "/n"; textArea.validateNow(); textArea.verticalScrollPosition = textArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition; } ]]--> </mx:Script> <mx:TextArea id="textArea" width="200" height="160" /> </mx:Application>

 

textArea.validateNow();

不使用这句的话将不能看到不断刷新的画面效果。
