Flex Better Sliders

I find that the default sliders have a few minor usability issues a) the thumb is too small and b) the hit area of the the thumb is too small. Perhaps I just need new glasses or a bigger screen?

You could skin a slider and change the thumb graphic but it's just as easy to fix with a little actionscript.

If you just want to make the thumb an exact size just set the height and width of the thumb rather than it's scale like so:
   thumb.width = 50;
   thumb.height = 14;

Thank you, I spent the entire day yesterday trying to find a way to make the thumb bigger.
thumb.width=50; thumb.height=14; <=== do not work.

You need to change the width and height were the xscale and yscale were modified in the code abobe.
