Please help. The items are being added dynamically to the <mx:HorizontalList id="test" bottom="0" width="100%" backgroundColor="0x000000" horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="off"/> I debugged the code and the items are being added, but I can't see them in the UI. If I change mx:HorizontalList to mx:HBox I can see the items in the UI. What am I doing wrong?
