Why is there no labelPlacement property for the sliders? I think it's a rather simple and important feature. Any way around it?

I'm using the DisplayShelf component to display images, and as the slider moves, I want to update the dataTip with the name or caption of the image. Any ideas?

Either that or just use the labelFunction and handle all the value conversions behind the scenes manually. You could always try asking on the Flexcoders list, I'm sure somebody out there has attempted this before. Sorry, Peter Note: These questions always work better if I already know the answers. Otherwise I just look kind of silly. ;) Pedro,
