Scroll Positions do not work if Scroll Policy is 'off'

Question

I am using flex SDK 3.3.0.4852
I have a canvas with
canvas.horizontalScrollPolicy = "off";
canvas.verticalScrollPolicy = "off";
This canvas has an image in it, and I set the horizontal and vertical scroll positions programitically.
canvas.horizontalScrollPosition = canvas.maxHorizontalScrollPosition;
canvas.verticalScrollPosition = canvas.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
then I save the scroll values in an xml file, and then on reopening of the xml file.. I do the following
canvas.addEventListener("creationComplete", setScrollPositions);
and in the method setScrollPositions(event) i do the following again
canvas.horizontalScrollPosition = canvas.maxHorizontalScrollPosition;
canvas.verticalScrollPosition = canvas.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
But unfortunately it does not show any change in the scroll positions visually, and the default scroll positions persists. Though if i call an alert
Alert.show(canvas.verticalScrollPosition.toString()); //it does show me some value, e.g. 56
Now if i only set horizontal and vertical scrollPolicy = "on" ... all works fine. But the problem is that I want to hide my scrollbars and there is no other way I can do it. So please if there is any solution to it or if there is any workaround, do let me know. Thanks.
