I would actually recommend using styles to hide the HDividedBox divider. You can do so by setting the divider-affordance and the divider-thickness. You can also adjust the gap between the divided children by setting the horizontal-gap style. Much more extensible than looping over the dividers with getDivider yourself. You can do this globally for all HDividedBoxs with a style like this:

HDividedBox
{
    horizontal-gap: 3;
    divider-affordance: 1;
    divider-thickness: 1;
}

Or just a subset by setting a style name like so:

HDividedBox.mainViewHDividedBox
{
    horizontal-gap: 3;
    divider-affordance: 1;
    divider-thickness: 1;
}

our HDividedBox would just need to have it's stylename property set to mainViewHDividedBox like:

This is great but I wish there was an easier way. It would be great if the HDividedBox simply had a boolean toggle to show/hide all the resize bars.

What if we wanted to make each hbox collapsable when clicked on to lets say 20px. The last hbox can not be collapsed because the HDividedBox wont resize automaticaly. That would be a good demo to show.

Luis Ramos,

Sorry, I don’t believe it is possible to set separate horizontal gap widths in an HDividedBox or HBox container.
You could try filing an enhancement request at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/
