Is there an option to turn on the horizontal scroll for the list component? I have some list entries that are longer than the list is wide, so they get cut off at the end...can this be done?

Solution:

ActionScript:
my_list.hScrollPolicy = "on";

it was brought to my attention that I was misssing a key element to get that function to work...

ActionScript:
theList.maxHPosition = 100;

ActionScript:
var listWidth:Number;

ExList.onLoad = function()
{
        var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
        numOfItems = nodes.length;
        listWidth = nodes[0].attributes.ex_name.length;//here we assign the first array element as the highest width to start...
        for(var i=0; i<numOfItems; i++)
        {
                .
                .
                .
                exList.addItem({label:_global.exName[i], data:_global.boothID[i]});//list item added
                if(nodes[i].attributes.ex_name.length > listWidth)//checks to see if current list item is longer than the max up to this point
                {
                        listWidth = nodes[i].attributes.ex_name.length;//if the current item is higher than the previous max, make the current item the max
                }
        }
        exList.hScrollPolicy = "on";//turn on the horizontal scroll bar
        exList.maxHPosition = listWidth;//set the width of the list element(max horizontal scroll) to the widest element in the list
}
ExList.load("blah.xml");
