Description

Property; a string that determines whether the horizontal scroll bar is displayed; the value can

drag a List component to the Stage and give it the instance name my_list. Add the following

code to Frame 1 in the timeline:

var my_list:mx.controls.List;

my_list.setSize(150, 100);

my_list.hScrollPolicy = "on";

my_list.maxHPosition = 200;

my_list.addItem({data:'flash', label:'Flash'});
