I've found the same as you, I tried all sorts of things and couldn't really
find a nice solution. Perhaps there's some way I don't know of to get the
equivalent of HTML's "clientWidth" and use that like width="{
parent.clientWidth}" instead of width="100%"...I usually either set a verticalscrollbarpolicy of either "off" or "on" where I butt up against this problem. -Josh On Jan 31, 2008 9:55 AM, dfalling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I finally got around to testing this in Flex 3.
