I haven't even read through most of your example but I'm guessing what you need to do is specify minHeight on a few of your inner VBoxes. By specifying minHeight some of the sizing will get forced down into the inner boxes instead of propagating outward. Even a minHeight of 0 should do it.

I have a layout that has multiple nested VBox components with a repeater on the inside. For my application this repeater is going to be repeating a custom component based on a dataProvider. My problem is that Flex wants to put the scroll bars on the outer most VBox instead of the innermost one thats closest to the repeater. I have tried many variations of vScrollPolicy settings, but the problem seems to be somewhere else. Is there a way other than setting a specific size for the VBoxes that I can tell the inner most VBox to be the one that has a scroll bar? I have included some sample code to show my problem. In this example the scroll bars are actually going on the application control. This is a very simple example that is similar to the layout in my application and still shows the problem. I know I could use a List or a Datagrid with a custom renderer but both have behaviors I don't want. I was hoping to just be able to use a repeater and have scrollbars on the parent vbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
