It was actualy working. But, you couldn't see the scroll bars because the canvas had a minHeight and minWidth that placed the scrollbars out of view. The sample code below is one way the you can get the desired results. clipContent and scroll policies work together. If the clipContent property is false, a container lets its child extend past its boundaries. Therefore, no scroll bars are necessary, and Flex never displays them, even if you set horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy to on.
