It might be more important "when" you do this calculation. Flex is an invalidating framework meaning that when you add children, it invalidates the parent container and it is "later" that the parent container reacts and puts up scrollbars. I would try catching the updateComplete event and then you should be able to use height and verticalScrollPosition.

I'm using a Canvas where I'm adding components dynamically at absolute positions, which may increase the size of the canvas beyond it's parent container. When this happens, scrollbars are created, as expected and desired. I'm trying to figure out if the component I just added are offscreen, in the clipped area. If that's the case, I want to be able to make that newly-added component visible by manually adjusting the scrollbars. I've done this before in another development environment so I know the logic to do, but I'm new to Flex and struggling to find which properties to use, amongst all the different properties and methods, i.e. height, maxHeight, measuredHeight, scrollPosition, etc. Thanks
