The following example shows how you can set the horizontal scroll policy on a Spark DropDownList control in Flex 4 by setting the horizontalScrollPolicy style on the drop down menu’s Scroller skin part.
The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta, check out the Adobe Flash Builder 4 page on the Adobe Labs site. To download the latest build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4. For instructions on using the beta Flex 4 SDK in Flex Builder 3, see "Using the beta Flex 4 SDK in Flex Builder 3".

View source is enabled in the following example.
Or you can set the horizontalScrollPolicy style in an external .CSS file or <Style/> block, 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.
