With Flex sites, both the browser and the Flex SWF can display scrollbars. In Flex 4 Spark Applications, scrollbars are off by default.
The Application sometimes is assigned a fixed size. If a fixed size is assigned, the player creates a viewport of that size. If the content in the Application's child containers doesn't fit, it just gets clipped. But you can choose to add in Scroller components where you want scrollbars. Meanwhile, the player's viewport either fits or doesn't fit in the <div> in the HTML wrapper. If it doesn't fit and scrollbars are enabled, the browser will display a scrollbar. Thus, it is possible to have a situation where the player viewport is 7 inches tall, but the browser only has 6 inches of room for it, but the player's viewport is attempting to show something 10 inches tall which is just being clipped at 7 inches. I believe most folks try to make sure the div doesn't have scrollbars, and can fit the player's viewport and then add scrollbars to the Application.
