First of all let me apologize for not blogging in a while but I’ve been working on couple of interesting projects after which it was time for deserved vacation on the BlackSea’s beaches.
Anyway I needed a better looking horizontal slider for one of the projects and all of my googling got me nothing reasonable (most of the tutorials were for changing the Thumb and leaving the default TrackHighlight) so I had to figure out something. Here is my horizontal slider, it is pretty basic but you can use it as a base for your needs. Corner Radius and Background Gradients are set via CSS, width and height are flexible too. Check the example and get the source code.
Hi Peter,
I really appreciated your custom HSlider, but I’d like to know how can I add another trackHighlight so I intend to create a movie control and this additional trackHighlight will serve like loading indicator.
I’m starting studing Flex 3 and I’ve not enough experience to do by myself.
Could you help me with that?
Thanks in advance,
Marcio
@Marcio – what comes in mind is to add another HSlider and hide the thumb and the track
