"I'm curious you're still getting scrollbar and/or no truncation of the label."
No, I do not have a small example, because the small example works as expected. It's when I expand the code into my actual application that the behavior changes slightly. I will say what I have is quite workable. I am just missing that bit of extra, nice decoration of the ellipses (...) when the text is larger then will fit into the container. The way it is currently working in my application, the text is 'cropped' at the edge of the container, but it is not 'truncated' to differentiate the addition of the ellipses and tool tip to show the entire text on mouse over. I have manually added the tool tip, but I don't know how to handle the ellipses, but I could probably live without them.

Okay, let's talk MXML. <mx:VBox id="outerBox" width="200" height="100"> <mx:VBox id="innerBox" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Label width="100%" text="The quick brown fox jumped over the wall." /> </mx:VBox> </mx:VBox> This causes innerBox to be wider than 200 px. and as a result outerBox gets a horizontal scrollbar. <mx:VBox id="outerBox" width="200" height="100"> <mx:VBox id="innerBox" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Label width="100%" minWidth="0" text="The quick brown fox jumped over the wall." /> </mx:VBox> </mx:VBox> Here I've set minWidth on the label, and now the label is 200 px., truncated, and there is no scrollbar. Let me know if you've managed to simplify your code down to a small MXML example. I'm curious you're still getting scrollbar and/or no truncation of the label. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
