I was trying to save time and increase functionality by making use of the Flash 9 components. I’m really not a component person, never used them in old version of flash. But I’d gone to a presentation at the local user group where I “learned” that the new components were hella easy to use and, most importantly, skin. Well using them, yes, that’s easy and can really speed up a prototype. Tonight I tried to skin the slider component. Every bit I replaced was scaled wrong, as if it were being forced to fit within the size of the original slider elements. So if the grabber thing was 10×10, i couldn’t put a new grabber that was 50×50 in it’s place or it would scale down. Apparently the only scale you can change is the length of the slider. Bummer.
