No, I don't have an example and don't have time to create one for you since I'm a development engineer, not a support engineer. But here is what you should try, learning as you go:
1. Create an app with an <mx:HorizontalList>. 2. Make it show data items by assigning its dataProvider. Put in more data items that will fit. 3. Turn off its scrollbar by setting horizontalScrollPolicy="off". 4. Create <mx:Button>s for "Previous" and "Next", positioned to the left and right of the HorizontalList. 5. In their 'click' handlers, put code like horizontalList.horizontalScrollPosition += 1. Use -= for the Previous button.

It sounds like this is what I was looking for. I need a horizontal list component with an icon at the right end of the component that I can click and scroll to more items.
