Question

I’m skinning scrollbar in my flex app and got one problem.
This white square between scrollbars(view the image) ruibs all my design and i need to disable it, make it invisible, change it background color, alpha or smth like this.

I can paste some code here but i think there is no need in it.
Working in Flex 3.
any ideas?

I actually found the culprit looking inside the Flex framework.
This square (called whiteBox) is created in Container.as.

It’s pretty easy to get rid of it, you just have to create a class extending the container you want to use.

Exemple for a Canvas :

package
{
    import mx.containers.Canvas;

    public class NoWhiteBoxCanvas extends Canvas
    {

        public function NoWhiteBoxCanvas()
        {
            super();
        }

        override public function validateDisplayList():void
        {
            super.validateDisplayList();
            this.whiteBox.visible = false;
        }

    }
}

Then in your MXML:

<local:NoWhiteBoxCanvas width="300" height="300" horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="on"/>

…and then no white square anymore 😉
