Paul, Thanks for your reply. > Have you tried setting the verticalScrollPolicy?
No, because looking at BoxLayout#measure, it seemed to have no impact on the measure of the component. But, just to be sure, I just empirically confirmed this. > If you want to refer to specific containers, give them an id so we can be > sure which is being refered to. I put in ids at first, but they seemed to obfuscate more than they helped, since there were only two inner VBoxes. But here is the problem restated with ids: <mx:VBox width="200" height="300" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:VBox minHeight="0" id="_top" verticalScrollPolicy="auto"> ... lots of stuff ... </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox id="_bottom" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> ... lots of stuff ... </mx:VBox> </mx:VBox> How to make _top scroll only without _bottom scrolling? > This might be helpful: Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid it didn't help me with this particular problem. It is interesting, a search brought up several similar posts in the past with the same question, but there's never been an answer, just suggestions a la "have you tried minHeight=0?". Just to be explicit, I have set minHeight and verticalScrollPolicy on the relevant mxml elements in my example. I wonder if mxml provides any way to solve this or if I have to use the updateDisplayList override I described initially.
