Anyone who's interested, this is what I was missing from my ButtonBarButton skin
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number) : void
{
super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
// Remove the first separator
if(hostComponent.itemIndex == 0)
{
separator.visible = false;
}
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Group>
<s:Line id="separator" x="8" y="0" xFrom="0" xTo="0" yFrom="0" yTo="12">
<s:stroke>
<s:SolidColorStroke color="0x000000" weight="1" joints="miter"/>
</s:stroke>
</s:Line>
<s:Label id="labelDisplay" x="20" y="0" ..other attributes />
</s:Group>
