There's probably a million posts about scrolling in AS3, but the problem I'm having is quite different. I have no problem making scrollbars work (have done loads of times), but I'm having a problem with custom skins. I'm basically trying to make the bar in this concept:

The key part is the thumb. When customising the skins in Flash, it scales the thumb bar (which hasn't been a problem in my previous projects, but in this one I want to have a non-scaled graphic like the one in the concept.

I've done a few searches and apparently this isn't easily achieved (something about extending the component class that I didn't really understand), but I find the UIScrollBar very easy to use. So my questions are:

  1. Is there anyway to get UIScrollBar to do what I want?
  2. Failing that, is there a third party equivlent of UIScrollBar that'll do what I want?
  3. Failing those, what is the most pain-free way of making a custom scrollbar in AS3? (I realise there's a lot of tutorials for this out there, but there's too many, so if someone could point me towards a tutorial that doesn't require cause pain I'd appreciate it)

Thanks! (:
