It depends on how many pictures, I read somewhere ( I think the Flex CookBook) that a List does not load all its children automatically only the ones that are visible vs HBox where all the children are loaded up no matter if they are being seen or not. I think you will get better performance with the List but it will look more choppier if the user scrolls very fast.

Horizontal scrolling Hi, I'm looking for a little direction. I'm developing a slideshow thumbnail navigation, and instead of using the normal horizontal scroll bars, I'd like to have the thumbs automatically scroll left or right and have the speed of the scroll accelerate as you go toward the outside edges, and slower as you get toward the center. I thought maybe HBox would be a good base, but since I need to also have the ability to set a selectedIndex for the an item, maybe HList would be a better base, then I could use a new Image as the itemRenderer for each List index? If anyone could shed some light to help me begin the best approach I'd really appreciate it.
