I appreciate your posting as I was having the same (or a very similar) problem.
I found a solution for my problems in this thread: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/84056 By setting my HBox's minWidth="0" I got the scrollbars as I wanted. Putting the HBox inside of a canvas worked but there is no reason to drag around that extra baggage. Try it out.
