This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex Gumbo 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 Gumbo SDK.

 

The following example shows how you can change the horizontal scroll position a single line [...]]]> In a previous example, “Paging through an FxHScrollBar in Flex Gumbo”, we saw how you could change the horizontal scroll position a single page up or page down in a Flex Gumbo FxHScrollBar component by using the page() method.

The following example shows how you can change the horizontal scroll position a single line up or line down in a Flex Gumbo FxHScrollBar component by using the step() method.
