	 *  Workaround for a Flash Player problem.
     *  Don't read the <code>scrollRect</code> property if its value has not been set,
	 *  because this will cause a large memory allocation.
	 *  And ignore attempts to reset the scrollRect property to null
	 *  (its default value) if we've never set it.
