Question

I have an HBox with width=500.
I actually want to add two arrows buttons that will scroll the contents of the HBox.
But when I turn HBox’s scroll policy to off, I can’t scroll it programmatically using horizontalScrollPosition.

What should i do now?
Thanks

I’ve hacked together this custom HBox that you could use. Simply set horizontalScrollPolicy to either “on” or “auto”. I really haven’t tested it all that much, works for a simple test I did…

public class CustomHBox extends HBox
{
    override public function validateDisplayList():void
    {
        super.validateDisplayList();

        if (horizontalScrollBar)
            horizontalScrollBar.visible = false;
    }
}
