Ok, so maybe I lied about a couple of weeks before I updated the code.  RatingsSlider.mxml has been updated to now include the dispatch of a the custom event to get the slider working.  It was a quick update, but hopefully it helps to show how custom components can interact with each other.  If anyone has any solutions they’ve like to show the group, please feel free to comment on the post.  It always helps to see what others have come up with so we can learn from each other.  See ya next month.
