Do you have another answer ;-)
This did what I was looking for but, the event effect still is not right.
I am making a drag and drop tab button. I need the button to have the normal hitarea that the skins use to detect the ACTUAL button click. I need a 10x10 dragger sprite, button whatever to be on top of the button skins, this component needs to listen for mouseMove etc.
Then I need a close button on the other side. Now this would be really easy from my end. I wouldn't even extend button, I would make my own tab using composition. To me that is more tight thatn what I am doing to the Button.
The problem with the approach is, Adobe did not program to an interface but to a concrete implementation of Button in the TabBar. So now, I cannot override createNavItem() and use my Tab becasue down the chain in the Bar, it is testing somewhere for mx.controls.Button, then I get the nice cannot coeirce Tab to Button.
If there was an IButton interface or ITabButton interface that they tested for, that would solve problems like this where I do not want to subclass but to type an instance AS ITabButton interface that does what the ITabButton interface requires..
Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong when subclassing the Button?

Dude, !
Thanks, I knew it was as simple as that!
Thanks again.

super.createChildren();
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.visible = false;
s.mouseEnabled = false;

unscaledHeight);
var g:Graphics = hitArea.graphics;
g.clear();
g.beginFill(1, 1);
g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth/2,
unscaledHeight);
}

Usage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*"
layout="absolute">
<ButtonTest label="I'm only active on the left side"/>
</mx:Application>

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2 :: Subclassing Button :: How to
change hitarea placement
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody from Adobe could shed some light on
how to go about adding like two little buttons to a Button?
I have tried with all my heart and cannot find a way to chnge
the hitArea of a button to something smaller than it's bounds.
Are you just adding a click listener to the whole component? If
so, this makes it really hard to subclass.
Can you give me any advice?
Peace, Mike
PS won't be asking these questions when I can see the source !
