Is a textfield not allowed in a container?

I guess I cannot use a textfield in a container? I was trying to use a container because I have about 15 textfield controls and I have them in a group so I can move them up as each one is selected. I wanted to cut off the view of the bottom ones cause I have buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Is there any way to do this? I wasn’t going to use a scroll bar because I wanted to move the group as each is selected. My only other option is to break it down to separate screens,

Just tried a scrollview and that does not work. Regular text is hidden when scrolling but the newtextfield controls do not. They stay on the screen and keep scrolling on top of everything.

Just realized can’t be done. I don’t want to create fake textboxes to scroll with because it may be hard to make them look like the actual ones. Guess I’ll break up the data. Wish there was a better resolution to this.

@Warren,

native objects cannot be obscured/trimmed/hidden/overlapped by display objects.  

They however can be inserted into Groups for easy of transition for their .x and .y values.
