My earlier example shows how you can listen for changes in the selected item on a HorizontalList control by using the change event: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/01/26/scrolling-a-flex-list-control-horizontally/#comment-4730

Or, you could use the earlier solution of using some clickFunc type approach which calls different methods depending on which specific item was clicked.

Or, you could look at creating a custom item renderer which may do what you want.

My example above shows how you can add items to the HorizontalList data provider dynamically using ActionScript:

Thanks for your time.

item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handleClick);

where handleClick is a event handler method

<mx:dataProvider>
    <mx:ArrayCollection/>
</mx:dataProvider>

My objects are populated at runtime. So from the example above

<mx:dataProvider>
    <mx:ArrayCollection>
        <mx:Object label="Flex 3" clickFunc="flexBtn" />
        <mx:Object label="Flex Builder 3" clickFunc="flexBldBtn" />
        <mx:Object label="Flash CS4" clickFunc="flashBtn" />
    </mx:ArrayCollection>
</mx:dataProvider>

I cannot use the clickFunc

Also my event listener has a parameter that is of type MouseEvent.Click not of type Object.

(I added the semicolons; too bad you can’t delete a post);

You need to escape the < tags as &lt; and the > tags as &gt;.
