I said that I tried a VBox and that did NOT give me what I want,
Here is the mxml
<mx:VBox x="10" y="42" height="650" width="100%">
<ns1:FlowBox width="100%" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10"
paddingRight="10" paddingTop="10" left="10">
<mx:ComboBox></mx:ComboBox>
<mx:DateField/>
<mx:Button label="Save"/>
<mx:Button label="Add"/>
<mx:Button label="Cancel"/>
<mx:HSlider/>
</ns1:FlowBox>
<mx:DataGrid height="100%" width="100%" left="0">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2"
dataField="col2"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3"
dataField="col3"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:VBox>
and I attached the swf and here is a screen shot.

Now note that the space between the flowbox and the grid is what I want to
eliminate.
