How to over-ride the shadow around ESRI's vertical Slider for zooming

[karldailey]

Theres a black transparency shadow around the slider, and I cant find where in the class 'com.esri.ags.controls.navigationClasses.NavigationSlider' this can be over-ridden.

I had also checked adobe's slider to see if they had an attribute for it but I couldnt find 'http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/HSlider.html'

anyone have any suggestions?  I just want to change its color

I think you want to change the background of the Navigation component which extends VBox and is the slider's container. Try adding this and changing the values:

    <mx:Style>
        Navigation
        {
            backgroundAlpha: 0.5;
            backgroundColor: #000000;
        }
    </mx:Style>
