You may want an auto sizing text area. Google: flex auto height textArea. I did a simple one and the fourth hit looks like a full component.

I have a view for an RSS article, at the top I have a header section with the title and the publish date. Under this I want an area that will scroll when it fills up, with the article content in a TextArea and an image above that. It will look a bit like this: <canvas> <label /> <label /> </canvas> <canvas> <image/> <textarea/> </canvas> The problem I have is that the textArea it's self will scroll, rather than stretching the canvas (or VBox) that it's in. Does anyone know how I can do this, as obviously I don't know the height to make the textArea at compile time, and even at runtime it would be hard to figure out. Setting it to 100% or with top and bottom values of 0 will only make it as big as the available space. I have tried turning off the scroll policies but then it's just cropped. I guess I need a stretchToFixContnet=true property. Thanks Rob
