Hello,

Suppose that we have the following tree :
<mx:Application>
<mx:Box id="mybox" height="100%" />
<mx:Application>

and that we dynamicaly add content to mybox, so much that the height of the
content of mybox become greater that the screen height. With the default
behavior, mybox will grow indefinitely and a vertical scroll will appear at
mx:Application level.
I would like a more rigid behavior. I'd like that mybox grows until it reaches
the screen height and then a vertical scroll appear in mybox. The first idea
(that works) is to define mybox.height="{Application.application.height}", but
this is not very pratictal since inner height is possibly different from outer
height, moreover, we need to use this trick at every level of the tree.
Do you know another way to achieve this result ? For example a property that
indicates to a container that he must not try to fit to its content.

Thank you in advance,
Pierre L.

maxHeight?

maxHeight is not the solution, becouse we have to type
maxHeight="{Application.application.height}" and the problem is identical.
Let me explain more precisely the issue. When mybox grows, mx:Application's
content space grows if needed (with a scrollbar) and then the height of mygrows
is set to 100% of the new inner size of mx:Application (but there is no change
since mx:Application fit mybox).
I would like the following, when mybox grows, a scrollbar appears if it exceed
100% of the current size of mx:Application.

maxHeight on Application?
