Yes, I did mean HBox, there is a VBox container around the label,
because once I have the layout figured out, there will be more then just
a label in it.
Here is the code that did not work for me:
<mx:Repeater id="weekRows" dataProvider="{weekStartsAry}" >
<mx:HBox width="100%">
<mx:Repeater id="dayCells" dataProvider="{parentApplication.daysAry}"
startingIndex="{weekRows.currentItem}" count="7">
<mx:VBox width="14.25%" height="200" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Label text="{dayCells.currentItem}" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Repeater>
The last minute before I had to leave and catch my train home, I worked
up this solution:
<mx:Label width="{parentDocument.width/7}" text="{dayCells.currentItem}"
includeInLayout="false" truncateToFit="true" />
This works, but I'm a bit confused about the parentDocument, I expected
that to refer to the VBox around the label, but apparently it is
referring to some higher container|control, can somebody provide any
insight to what element this is referring?

Did you mean HBox instead of VBox?

a simple example that doesn't work?
