Scroll / Paging

You can adjust the scrolling or paging properties of a container from its Property panel. To enable scrolling or paging layers inside a container, drag them into the target container from the Layer panel.

Scroll

This option enables horizontal or vertical scrolling. To make sure your scroll interactions work flawlessly, make sure the child layers extend beyond the bounding box of the scroll container.

Wheel Picker

Make your own wheel picker to pick a date, time, etc. A wheel picker allows you to scroll up and down through multiple choices very quickly. It is useful, especially when the list of options cannot be fully displayed because they may exceed the available space on your screen.
