I take back my last message. This is still messed up. This only creates scrollbars if the VBox or HBox is smaller than the Legend's display area. As Ely, mentioned, Legend extends from Tile. That's why it has the wrapping going on when a legend has more items than can be displayed in a line. If you have a sizeable legend, I don't see a way currently to add a scrollbar.
As an alterantive, you could create a hard coded legend. In my case the items are added dynamically, and the series/legend colors are determined by info in my dataProvider, so i can't hard code a legend. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "mgrayfmr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey guys: > > Just an update to this problem. > If you put the legend inside a VBox or HBox, and set a fixed > width/height, scrollbars can be added.
