Hi,

Fair enough. Some pointers how to fix this or where to look at where to fix 
this would be helpful.

In general people unfamiliar with the framework may need some help if they 
don't know where to look they probably not going to fix the framework but just 
find a hack around any deficiencies it has.

Some examples need this. It hard to scroll something if you can’t see it has 
scroll bars in the first place :-)

So we should be coming of of ways to make it easier for people to contribute.

I looked at the bead, the JS implementation in minimal, and I'd guess the 
change needs to be here:

override public function set strand(value:IStrand):void
{
   super.strand = value;
   (contentView.element as HTMLElement).style.overflow = 'auto';
}

It seems wrong to duplicate 400 odd lines of code (most of it AS code) to make 
other beads just to change one line of code. Extending the class and overriding 
that single method seems to give compiler errors which is unexpected. Any 
advice? Wouldn't it be better if overflow was a property of the bead? 

Thanks,
Justin
