Im not fully understanding your answer, are you stating that the
container cant use Percent since the children do?

 Flex uses % differently than HTML.  When you use %, the children are

 will show scrollbars.

 I've dug and not really found what I'm looking for
 I get scrollbars on canvas when I try to use a width percentage verses
 doing a absolute value.
 
 While I'm unsure because any standard HTML document can use this and
 it doesnt seem to be an issue?
 
 Am i missing anything on this im a bit baffled on this portion

You can use % anywhere.  % means what you think it does when there's
plenty of room, but if there isn't enough room, you will get scrollbars.
Try setting mnWidth/Height on the children of the canvas so they can be
small enough to fit into the canvas.

but if the entire application including all componets are in % for
everything why would it still show scrollbars?
