Hi, I'm hoping someone else has suffered through this problem and can save me some additional agony.
My objective is to have a flex app use 100% sizing to maximize to size of browser, and to set min-height and min-width to set a point at which the application content does not shrink any further and scrollbars on the browser kick in. Sounds simple? Here's some sample application code setting up an app this way, with a VBox inside the application to hold content of some kind: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" width="100%" height="100%" minWidth="950" minHeight="600"> <mx:VBox x="10" y="10" width="100%" height="100%" verticalAlign="top" > </mx:VBox> </mx:Application> I have not messed much with the default html-template that is generated. I have added a min-height and min-width style property to the body style. <style> body { min-height: 600px; min-width: 950px; } </style> The result is not as I expected- the browser (firefox) opens and when larger than the minimum width and height specified, it has no scrollbars, which is as expected. When it is dragged below the minimum size thresholds, scrollbars appear in both vertical and horizontal directions. So far, so good. However, when I shrink the window in the vertical direction, then use the scrollbar to scroll to the lower content, anything below (in the vertical direction) the current size of the browser has been clipped and I get whitespace. Scrolling horizontally works fine and I can navigate out to the right but the vertical scrolling is hosed. I tried using the overflow:scroll and overflow:auto in the html template but it bought me nothing. The outcome was only partly consistent between IE7 and firefox, at least for this set of properties and conditons. Neither one worked properly. IE often had the scrollbar rails, but not the control slider part. My objective is to have the scrollbars operating in the browser rather than in the application container itself. Has anyone managed to get browser scrollbars working for this kind of 100% sizing flex app? If so, I'd really appreciate any insight. thanks, Danny
