Sorry, eventually found it to be floatingBorder_mc and found that the only way to manipulate it was "after" draw() had been fired (to do with createOrDestroyScrollbars())
So, i put in a doLater and disco. Few things I've found along my way with TitleWindow / Panel is: - When you apply the Zoom effect, the controlBar_mc tends to not resize itself accordingly (happens every now and then) - When you apply a creationCompleteEffect it basically sets the titlewindow visible up front and *THEN* applies the effect (ie do a parallel zoom+fade effect). - When vScroller kicks in (ie childrens combined height exceed the containers height) it will scroll down/up but won't terminate at the top of the controlBar_mc.. in that the pageSize does not take into account controlBar_mc One cool upgrade i did to the PanelClass, was remove the createDropShadow and replaced it with the brand new spiffy dropShadow filters in FP8... noiiiicee..... Now i am shamelessly bragging ;) On 7/22/05, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'm the wrong guy to talk about components. Only other _mc I saw was the > overlay_mc.
