Generally as a rule of thumb if you need to modify the Mootools code your
probably doing something wrong.
Slider doesn't have an onBeforeStart event. However the Drag class is
wrapped by Slider. If I needed to get at that particular event I would
mySlider = new Slider(...);
mySlider.drag.addEvent('onBeforeStart', function(){...});
