Flex: HSlider - Install different skins for different fingers?

Question

I am going to use HSlider to set a range of values. I would like the left thumb to look like ( and the thumb for lok like ) , so they seem to cover a range, like (range) instead of | range | . I only know how to set the skin for SliderThumb, which will set the skin for both. Does anyone know a way to set a different skin for each thumb?

Thanks.

UPDATE

I have this code now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HSlider xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

    <mx:Style>
    .thumbTickLeft
    {
        disabledSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickLeft_disabledSkin");
        downSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickLeft_downSkin");
        overSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickLeft_overSkin");
        upSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickLeft_upSkin");
    }
    .thumbTickRight
    {
        disabledSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickRight_disabledSkin");
        downSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickRight_downSkin");
        overSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickRight_overSkin");
        upSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", symbol="thumbTickRight_upSkin");
    }
    </mx:Style>

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            override protected function commitProperties():void
            {
                super.commitProperties();

                updateThumbSkins();   
            }

            private function updateThumbSkins():void
            {
                this.getThumbAt(0).setStyle('styleName','thumbTickLeft');
                this.getThumbAt(1).setStyle('styleName','thumbTickRight');
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>


</mx:HSlider>

Thumb signs just don't show at all? By the way, I made sure that the skins load correctly, because I can install them like this:

<mx:Button styleName="thumbTickRight"/>

Answer 3

, , Slider ( HSlider) .

Slider.as createThumbs. , , , thumbUpSkin ..

thumb = SliderThumb(new _thumbClass());

thumb.owner = this;
thumb.styleName = new StyleProxy(this, thumbStyleFilters);
thumb.thumbIndex = i;
thumb.visible = true;
thumb.enabled = enabled;

thumb.upSkinName = "thumbUpSkin";
thumb.downSkinName = "thumbDownSkin";
thumb.disabledSkinName = "thumbDisabledSkin";
thumb.overSkinName = "thumbOverSkin";
thumb.skinName = "thumbSkin";

, skinThumbs , createThumbs. , getThumbAt(int). , .

I would override the method commitPropertiesand call skinThumbsfrom there - just make sure you place the call skinThumbsafter the call super.commitProperties. By the way, the method createThumbsis called only from commitPropertiesand is called from only one place in commitProperties, so you don’t need to worry about replacing the replacement with another internal call to createThumbs,
