I might be able to dig further on Friday or this weekend. Note that scrollPolicy affects whether the scrollbars are factored into width, and viewMetrics includes the scrollbars if they exist.

It just turns off scroll bars, no? What I want (and I assume the OP is the same) is for the value returned for "100%" to represent the "inside" width of a container, so when you scroll vertically, that value drops by ~20 pixels, instead of automatically adding a horizontal scroll bar if you've got anything attached to the RHS of the container by either a right="foo" or width="100%". -Josh On Jan 31, 2008 10:26 AM, Sherif Abdou <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: u mean like this? <mx:Canvas width="90%" height="400" clipContent="false"> <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="440"/> </mx:Canvas> ----- Original Message ---- From: Josh McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 6:11:46 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: container width > parent container's width when vertical scrollbar present 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 verticalscrollbarpo licy of either "off" or "on" where I butt up against this problem. -Josh On Jan 31, 2008 9:55 AM, dfalling <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: I finally got around to testing this in Flex 3.
