That's a much better solution Geoff, cheers! I might switch to using that and see how it goes. I can't see anything in Container that would stop it working in edge cases.

Here is a much easier way to correct this issue...

[code]
package
{
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.events.ResizeEvent;

public class FixedCanvas extends Canvas
{
public function FixedCanvas()
{
super();
}

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number): void {
if (verticalScrollBar ) unscaledWidth -= verticalScrollBar .measuredWidth;
if (horizontalScrollBar ) unscaledHeight -= horizontalScrollBar.measuredHeight;
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
}
}
[/code]

This fixes the issue for both vertical and horizontal scrolling

Besides the Google Code repo, source for this class can be viewed here."

It's pretty simple, just put another container in it (like a VBox for example), with a percentage width, or left and right widths. When the box becomes too tall to fit, a scrollbar will appear and the box will become slightly narrower to accomodate it.

Could you give an example with usage of your class...
