Hi, Yes you are losing the ability to clip content using rawChildren.
Cliping occurs with a single content child or contentPane with multiple content children. You will need to create a content raw child that will hold your textfields. Then create a FlexSprite mask and set the mask property of the content pane that holds your textfields. Then in layoutChrome() in your component that holds the raw children, position the mask using view metrics. There is some stuff I am omitting because if you choose this route, your textfield layout algorithm is going to have to change to the content pane. which changes things drastically in your case.

Im adding many TextFields to a Canvas via rawChildren.addChild (its a long story why I dont use Label, but essentially Im doing it for better performance). I also added a ScrollBar and am responding to that by repositioning the TextFields in code. Its all working very smoothly, but I cant seem to find a way to clip the raw children to the bounds of the container. Is there a way to do this, or do I sacrifice all features like this when using raw children? If so, is there any way I can clip a sprite? Thanks
