Hi Alex, Thank you for your reply. > then minHeight=0 should allow > for scrollbars on the top.
That's what I would think too, but it is incorrect. I am using build 477 of Flex 3 SDK version 3.0.0. Here is my entire mxml application: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:ll="ll.viewimpl.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" initialize="init()"> <mx:VBox x="460" width="200" height="300" id="_outer"> <mx:VBox minHeight="0"> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> <mx:Button label="UPPER"/> </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox> <mx:Button label="LOWER"/> <mx:Button label="LOWER"/> <mx:Button label="LOWER"/> <mx:Button label="LOWER"/> <mx:Button label="LOWER"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:VBox> </mx:Application> The _outer VBox gets the scrollbars. I am running on Flash Debug player 9,0,124,0 on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0. Is this a bug? Any other suggestions to accomplish this?
