> We ran into a null reference in the mx Slider class, though the steps to reproduce are unknown. It happened in the updateDisplayList function, in the following code snippet:
>    var isHorizontal:Boolean = (_direction == SliderDirection.HORIZONTAL);
>    var numLabels:int = labelObjects ? labelObjects.numChildren : 0;
>    var numThumbs:int = thumbs ? thumbs.numChildren : 0;
>    var trackMargin:Number = getStyle("trackMargin");
>    var widestThumb:Number = 6;
>    var firstThumb:SliderThumb = SliderThumb(thumbs.getChildAt(0));
>    if (thumbs && firstThumb)
>        widestThumb = firstThumb.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth();
> Note that the statement assigning numThumbs checks for null, but the statement assigning firstThumb does not. We had a null thumbs, which caused the firstThumb assignment to fail.
> The fix should be a simple matter of checking for null thumbs when assigning firstThumb.
>  
>  Actual Results:
>  An ActionScript error has occurred:
>  TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. 
>  
>  Expected Results:
>  No runtime error
>  
>  Workaround (if any):
>  unknown
