Screen shots would be good please mate - I don't seem to get any problem with the sample AIR, I'm probably still misunderstanding the issue though ;)

The bounds of my app will never confine to my content but only to my canvas. I want my bounds to be smaller accourding to the state of my app. Does that make any sense to you? If not clear, i can make some screenshots and place on my website if that helps, Thanks, Sid Matthew James Poole wrote: > ...Ok, I think I see what you mean.
