iOS: scroller problems

[Chris Sheffield]

Wow, I must really need a nap! After messing with this for hours I finally realized that I was adjusting the height of my field but not repositioning it in the locked group. So naturally the whole thing wasn't scrolling correctly. All good now. :-)

I can get the scroller created just fine, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the contectRect of the scroller should be. I've set the rect of the scroller to the rect of the group. Should the contentRect be the rect of the field in the group? If so, I've found some weird problem because that doesn't work. When I scroll, a good one-third of the top of the field is cut off and I can't scroll to it. Then if I scroll to the bottom, I've got this big blank space. I'm pretty sure I'm just not getting the content rect set correctly. The rect seems okay, as I can see the scroll indicator and it appears to be in the right spot. I've looked at the scroller sample stack provided by RunRev, but it's different than what I'm trying to do, and I'm missing something.
