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
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" >
<mx:HBox width="300" height="100" backgroundColor="yellow"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Button label="number1" width="225"/>
<mx:Button label="number2" width="85"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
But as i'm not dealing with fixed button widths, i had to think of
another way to get this effect....hence paddingRight=-15 and some
kind of contentClip.
As i'm only dealing with layout, i would have thought something
would work out of the box. Adobe???
I'm willing to try your suggestion of a mask, if you can gives us a
few ideas on how to do that thanks.
