Hi,
I need to have a tab-controlled panel on the side of my application that I can open / close and drag out to resize... All well and good, I have used an HDividedBox with the tab buttons in one panel and I add and remove child position="firstChild" to expand / collapse the panel.

The trouble is, I need this overlaid on an image and there is _no_ background on the inactive divider state which looks awful! All I want to do is fill the gap between my panel and my buttons with a solid block fill of colour.

I have found numerous references to set the divider skin to an alternative image... but no way to scale the image to exactly fill the gap from top to bottom of the panel. There _has_ to be a way to do this, surely? It seems so bloody simple and the rest of Flex is so fantastic that I am sure there is a solution.

Can anybody help?
