I haven't even read through most of your example but I'm guessing what you
need to do is specify minHeight on a few of your inner VBoxes. By
specifying minHeight some of the sizing will get forced down into the inner
boxes instead of propagating outward. Even a minHeight of 0 should do it.

Subject: [flexcoders] Scrollbars in a VBox
With all these pricing things up in the air its hard to think about
coding, but I do have a bit of a problem I'm trying to work out.
I have a layout that has multiple nested VBox components with a
repeater on the inside. For my application this repeater is going to
be repeating a custom component based on a dataProvider. My problem
is that Flex wants to put the scroll bars on the outer most VBox
instead of the innermost one thats closest to the repeater. I have
tried many variations of vScrollPolicy settings, but the problem seems
to be somewhere else. Is there a way other than setting a specific
size for the VBoxes that I can tell the inner most VBox to be the one
that has a scroll bar? I have included some sample code to show my
problem. In this example the scroll bars are actually going on the
application control. This is a very simple example that is similar to
the layout in my application and still shows the problem. I know I
could use a List or a Datagrid with a custom renderer but both have
behaviors I don't want. I was hoping to just be able to use a
repeater and have scrollbars on the parent vbox. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
