Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This property was deprecated in favor of
TextField.maxscroll.
Indicates the line number of the top line of visible text in a text field when the bottom line in
the field is also visible. The maxscroll property works with the scroll property to control
how information appears in a text field. This property can be retrieved, but not modified.

_parent property
_parent.property
_parent._parent.property
Specifies or returns a reference to the movie clip or object that contains the current movie clip
or object. The current object is the object containing the ActionScript code that references
_parent. Use _parent to specify a relative path to movie clips or objects that are above the
current movie clip or object.
Example
In the following example, there is a movie clip on the Stage with the instance name
square_mc. Within that movie clip is another movie clip with an instance name circle_mc.
The following ActionScript lets you modify the circle_mc parent instance (which is
square_mc) when the circle is clicked. When you are working with relative addressing (using
_parent instead of _root), it might be easier to use the Insert Target Path button in the
Actions panel at first.
this.square_mc.circle_mc.onRelease = function() {
this._parent._alpha -= 5;
};
