I used your idea as the starter for changes in our new version of 'The Merlin Protocol' website (themerlinprotocol.com) Its a site for a close friend that the author of a sci-fi book/series. Anyway, one thing I want to add but not sure it is possible... The old site (openlaszlo based) has a button at the end of the scroll area so that the visitor could hop to other sections of our site. There doesnt seem to be a straightforward way to put a inside of the TLF textflow area. Likewise I could put it outside but then our text would not be scrollable. Essentially I need a TLF:Button(s) all scrollable via a scrollbar. Have you ever seen an example of such a construct of mixing TLF with 'std.' flex components anywhere? TIA //GH Hi Mihai, First Thx for the great developer post.

Can a srollbar added separately be used to navigate the contents of another container? Thanks, Kunal Hey Mihai,

There is no such function controller.calculateHeight(). Unfortunately, the contentHeight attribute is also not an exact height. Adobe forums indicate to use composePosition() prior to using contentHeight, but that doesnt seem to be totally accurate or reliable either. Tim Mihai,
