Flex Examples
The following example shows how you can show or hide horizontal and vertical scroll bars on a Spark List control in Flex 4 by setting the horizontalScrollPolicy and/or verticalScrollPolicy styles.
Full code after the jump.
The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.
For more information on getting started with Flex 4 and Flash Builder 4, see the official Adobe Flex Team blog.

You can also set the horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy using advanced CSS, as seen in the following example:

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.
