In a previous example, “Setting the slide duration on a Spark HSlider control in Flex 4″, we saw how you could set the slide duration on a Spark HSlider control in Flex 4 by setting the slideDuration style.
The following example shows how you can set the slide duration on a Spark HScrollBar control in Flex 4 by setting the slideDuration style to control the animated thumb scroll when Ctrl+clicking on the scroll bar track.
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.

View source is enabled in the following example.
You can also set the slideDuration style on a VScrollBar instance (in this case via the List control’s slider skin part) using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2010/02/28/setting-the-slide-duration-on-a-spark-hscrollbar-control-in-flex-4/ --> <s:Application name="Spark_HScrollBar_slideDuration_test" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" initialize="init();"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayList; import mx.events.FlexEvent; [Bindable] private var dp:ArrayList; private function init():void { var arr:Array = new Array(); var idx:uint = 0; const LEN:uint = 1000; for (idx = 0; idx < LEN; idx++) { arr.push({label:"item " + idx.toString()}); } dp = new ArrayList(arr); } protected function lst_creationCompleteHandler(evt:FlexEvent):void { lst.scroller.verticalScrollBar.setStyle("slideDuration", 8000 /* ms */); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:List id="lst" dataProvider="{dp}" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" creationComplete="lst_creationCompleteHandler(event);"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout requestedRowCount="10" horizontalAlign="contentJustify" gap="0" /> </s:layout> </s:List> </s:Application>
Or you can globally set the slideDuration style via the StyleManager in ActionScript, as seen in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- http://blog.flexexamples.com/2010/02/28/setting-the-slide-duration-on-a-spark-hscrollbar-control-in-flex-4/ --> <s:Application name="Spark_HScrollBar_slideDuration_test" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" creationComplete="init();"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayList; import mx.events.FlexEvent; [Bindable] private var dp:ArrayList; private function init():void { var arr:Array = new Array(); var idx:uint = 0; const LEN:uint = 1000; for (idx = 0; idx < LEN; idx++) { arr.push({label:"item " + idx.toString()}); } dp = new ArrayList(arr); var sbbCSS:CSSStyleDeclaration = styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("spark.components.supportClasses.ScrollBarBase"); if (!sbbCSS) { sbbCSS = new CSSStyleDeclaration("spark.components.supportClasses.ScrollBarBase"); } sbbCSS.setStyle("slideDuration", 8000 /* ms */); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:List id="lst" dataProvider="{dp}" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"> <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout requestedRowCount="10" horizontalAlign="contentJustify" gap="0" /> </s:layout> </s:List> </s:Application>
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.

I’m having trouble compiling, which compiler version are you using?
@wojiao shenme,
I typically use a semi-recent build of Flash Builder 4 and the most recent Flex 4 nightly SDK build.

As I am a newbie to flex. Please guide me as I am trying to make an application which would stream live video from sites like justin.tv, etc. Kindly guide me or give me sample code to make such kind of application.
Thanks in advance!!!
Umm, so when I click somewher on the slider it supposed to slide to that location like on the previous example?:

You have to Ctrl+click on the track.
