Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. run attached application - notice there is a horizontal scrollbar (good) - bug already logged for cropping
2. choose "rtl" from combobox

Actual Results:
horizontal scrollbar disappears and you can see items flow vertically

Expected Results:
component should mirror and horizontal scrollbar should remain.

Workaround (if any):
Set the direction style instead of direction property?

<s:DropDownList id="ddl2" requireSelection="true" selectedIndex="0" change="mxHList.setStyle('direction', ddl2.selectedItem);">
<s:ArrayList source="[ltr,rtl]" />
</s:DropDownList>
