By default, don't use item numbers. On scrollers with lots of items, especially

with Subdivisions > 1, m_exprTransformFunction uses too much memory, and
very few scrollers use this.  Usually, per-item effects can be done better by
using DynamicActorScroller and doing the effects on item load (but this can
do some things that can't).
