Flex: Prevent scrollbar from covering content when automatically displayed

Question

I have a canvas in Flex that shall be able only to be scrolled in vertical direction, so I set the attributes of the canvas as follows:

verticalScrollPolicy=         


        

Answer 1

I had to find this workaround Flex ScrollPolicy.AUTO Not Good Enough which solved this issue, because Flex verticalScrollPolicy bug workaround did not work for me.
