Perhaps there's some way I don't know of to get the equivalent of HTML's "clientWidth" and use that like width="{parent.clientWidth }" instead of width="100%"... I usually either set a verticalscrollbarpo licy of either "off" or "on" where I butt up against this problem. -Josh On Jan 31, 2008 9:55 AM, dfalling <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: I finally got around to testing this in Flex 3.
