In my case, the track was 6px tall and set at <code>y = -3</code> and the highlight was 4px tall and also needed to be at <code>y = -3</code> for things to line up. So I needed an extra <code>-1</code> offset from what I expected. I believe this extra offset is buried somewhere deep inside Flex and is due to how it draws and skins the <code>HSlider</code> component. Skinning with Degrafa is precise enough to expose the issue. Everything is view source enabled, so just right-click and see what I did. @Eugene:

Could you elaborate on how you hard-coded it above? I am having trouble offsetting the highlight skin on the slider. Could you elaborate on how you hard-coded it above?
