Is there an easy way to have the datatips for the different thumbs positioned seperately from each other. E.g have the data tip of the left thumb on the left side and the tip of the right tumb on the right side, in order to avoid their overlapping? Thx in advance Philipp Hi Doug,

How do i fix the position of the thumb on a slider component. In other words the "slider-thumb" should be able to listen to a mouse clicks but once the user tries to click and drag the thumb it should no longer be draggable. I tried to eat up the event by using ; Event.stopImmediatePropagation(); this doesnt work for me! (this is done on thumbdrag event) what should i do! please help. Thanks in advance hi Doug,

I downloaded the latest swc (March 8) and discovered that I do have to comment out the four lines in ExtendedSlider that PR mentions. I also had to make the class assignment that precedes those lines conditional in order to pick up my subclass of SliderThumb. My thumbs are not the default size (12 x 12). if (this.sliderThumbClass == null) { this.sliderThumbClass = SliderThumb; } Is there any way to style the two thumbs differently? My current client would like to use something like brackets to enclose the selected track area. Thanks.

I'm almost positive I committed a fix for that issue, but I'll double check.

In the (great) component (thanks Doug), I have been including something like: thumbUpSkin="@Embed('assets/thumbLarge.png')" But it stopped working in flex3/new flexlib. I found a "solution" -> by commenting out the 4 "setStyle(..." lines that are around line 127 in ExtendedSlider.as, my skins worked. Doug has a note in the code at that point about the flex3 SDK, though after messing with this a bit, I'm not clear on exactly what's going on. I'm no flex expert... so use with caution I guess.. but it got me in the right direction so maybe it'll help others. hoping this helps others: Since moving to flex 3 (and upgrading to the latest flexlib) I’ve been struggling with skinning the slider’s thumbs.

If you scroll vertical slider it appears from time to time on the white background. I myself use horizontal slider and it is present all the time when tooltip appears.

I've recently moved a project from flex2 to flex 3 and am having the same trouble as others: the thumbUpSkin/thumbOverSkin/thumbDownSkin all seem to be ignored. I was able to make the component usable in flex3 by adding a creationComplete function that simply stretched the thumbs to a usable height. But it still defaults to the little arrow image. I'm kind of stuck here.. any ideas appreciated! A great addition - thanks for sharing your work.
