How do you get a ScrollPane that is placed in the center of a BorderPane to work?

I have a program where i have a rootLayout made from a BorderPane. When i press a button in this rootLayout i place a new fxml view into the center of the the borderPane using .setCenter(). The view i am placing into the borderPane consists of an AnchorPane that has a scrollPane as it's child element and when i run this view by itself the scrolling works. However after placing the view into the borderPane it stops working. The area in the scrollPane doesnt move at all when i scroll down or up. I am guessing this has to do with the size that is given in the borderPane but the whole point of having the scrollPane is so that i can show all of the information in 1/3 of the space.

Any tips or Ideas on how to make this work in either javafx, fxml or scenebuilder?

Do you need the AnchorPane? It works fine if you just set the ScrollPane directly as the center of the BorderPane without wrapping it in an AnchorPane first. – James_D

Can't make comments yet ... correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to use the AnchorPane as the child of the ScrollPane? I always have my TextAres as child of the ScrollPanes!
