hi Jason
How can I keep this effect if i modify your example to become
mx:HBox width=100% height=100 backgroundColor=yellow
mx:Button label=number1 width=75%/
mx:Canvas width=25% horizontalScrollPolicy=off
mx:Button width=100 label=number2/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:HBox
thanks
I'm not sure exactly what effect you want. Do you always want a part of button2 to be clipped off the right? If so, by how much?What's happening in my example is that the nested Canvas gives button2 only 25% of the available horizontal space. When the HBox was 300 pixels wide, that gave it 75
sorry, the width of button2 should have been 100% (i only want to
specify percentage widths).

Mike and Tom thanks for the input.
firstly, I tried using clipContent before but doesn't work.
if i was dealing with fixed widths and set the
horizonatalScrollPolicy 'off', i can achieve the effect i was
looking for eg
