Try adding minHeight=0 to the HBox as well. Think of minHeight=0 as "you can be smaller than your measured height". This propagates down from the top so the TitleWindow will ask the HBox for its measuredHeight which will include the tallest VBox, so the HBox needs to allow itself to be shrunk below that value and the VBox does as well and when it does, it should sprout scrollbars.

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 <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] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That didn't quite make sense to me.
