Thanks these are good idea, but actually I want something different.
I should have been more specific.
I want the child to be scrollable within vBxContent, without setting
vBXxContent.height to a fixed size as you can see in my following little
ASCII screenshot :)

The problem is, that vBxContent does not implicitly goes to scrollmode.
I tried the following, what sets the size of vBxContent to the
Applications.height:
<mx:VBox
id="vBxContent"
width="100%"
height="{this.height}"
That works, but only as long as there is no other component before or after
vBxContent (like canAnotherComponent in the example)...
Then I would have to do something like
height="{this.height- canAnotherComponent.height }"
That's not useful if I don't know how many components are following....
Is there no easy way not to allow a component not to grow bigger than its
parent??
Cheers,
Christoph
