it is very strange to me indeed. I tried setting minHeight to 0 to no avail. I am thinking it has to do with being inside of a popup box but even so, a local variable declaration should override the container declaration , correct? here is an abbreviated version of the code. Currently the scrollbar wont show up unless I enable verticalScrollpolicy in the titleWindow header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" minWidth="740" maxWidth="780" maxHeight="580" themeColor="haloBlue" backgroundColor="#E1E1E1" creationComplete="defaultButton=watchMovieButton; watchMovieButton.setFocus(); onInit()" showCloseButton ="false" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:HBox id="movHB"> <mx:VBox horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" width="314"> <mx:Spacer height="15"/> <mx:Image id="viewImage" width="388" height="450"/> <mx:HBox> <mx:Button id="watchMovieButton" label="Watch" borderColor="0x000000" width="120" height= "60" focusThickness="5" /> <mx:Button id="closeThisButton" label="Close" width="120" height= "60" borderColor="0x000000" focusThickness="5" /> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> <mx:HBox id="aboutHB" > /* THIS IS THE VBOX I WANT TO SCROLL */ <mx:VBox id="movInfoVB" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" bottom="10" verticalScrollPolicy="auto" minHeight="0" verticalScrollPosition="200"> <mx:Spacer height="15"/> <mx:Text id="about" width ='300' /> <mx:Text id="mGenre" width ='200' /> <mx:Text id="star" width='200' /> <mx:Text id="movieLength" width='200/> <mx:VScrollBar id="movScroll" tabEnabled="true" focusEnabled="true" height="300" /> </mx:VBox> </mx:HBox> </mx:HBox> </mx:TitleWindow> --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That didn't quite make sense to me.
