Haven't really thought if there is a 'better' way. We do it this way so as not to propagate scrollbars down into the children. You might be able to set the paddingRight or tweak viewMetrics to add some padding

Alex, that did fix the problem, but is there any way to do it without forcing the scrollbars to on? The alternative I see is to compare measuredHeight to height and if measuredHeight is greater then set the scroll policy to on, and when it's equal or less it turns it off. This would be overriding the functionality of Flex though and if there's a better way I would rather do it.
