Hey Diego, you’re welcome. Try adding a Loader (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Loader.html) to the skin parts. If you have further questions, I’d suggest posting your questions at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you very much for sharing this very useful component!
I’d like to modify the background and the knob with two images (gif files for example), but since I am inexpert with flex I was wondering if someone can help me a little bit. I don’t know how to add an image in the backgroundSkin and thumbSkin actionscript files… thank you in advance for help!

Hello, sorry for my ignorance but I really want to use this in a flash cs5 project but I’m not sure how to import this! Can anyone comment on this?

Thx for sharing this! I was looking for clues on how to start to develop this kind of component but you already did all hard work here. I’m sure i’ll use it on a project to set angle of a gradient background. Definately helpful. Thx again Aaron <3

Thanks for this, love it, not only have I bashed it to suit my own evil needs, the process of doing so taught me a lot of new stuff about flex (hardly suprising since I only started last week).

i’ve been looking for one these for a while now. this little ditty won you a spot in casey’s google reader account- hollowed ground reserved for the likes of Seth Godin and the AIR team. welcome to the dance! (official “welcome to the dance” certificate to follow via snail mail)

The knob has a nice action and seems to be really functional. I’m looking forward to scoring some free time to look through the project in detail.

Thanks for posting as there is not a lot of source being shared for such a commonly required component.
