in Slider.as here:
private function createBackgroundTrack():void
{
if (!track)
{
var trackSkinClass:Class = getStyle("trackSkin");
track = new trackSkinClass();
if (track is ISimpleStyleClient)
ISimpleStyleClient(track).styleName = this;
innerSlider.addChildAt(DisplayObject(track),0);
}
}
Put a breakpoint on "track = new trackSkinClass()"; and check what
trackSkinClass is. If it's a null or undefined, there's your problem. If
that looks fine, you could have bytecode verifier bug.
