This control extends the TrackBase class and is the base class for the HScrollBar and VScrollBar controls.
A scroll bar consists of a track, a variable-size scroll thumb, and two optional arrow buttons. The ScrollBarBase class uses four parameters to calculate its display state:
minimum: Minimum range value.maximum:Maximum range value.value: Current position, which must be within the
    minimum and maximum range values. Hide MXML Syntax

The value the scrollbar will have when the mouse button is released.
If the liveDragging style is false, then the scrollbar's value is only set
      when the mouse button is released. The value is not updated while the slider thumb is
      being dragged.
This property is updated when the scrollbar thumb moves, even if

snapInterval:Number[override] | Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 4 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 | 
      
      The snapInterval property controls the valid values of the value property.
     
      If nonzero, valid values are the sum of the minimum and integer multiples
      of this property, for all sums that are less than or equal to the maximum.
     
      
For example, if minimum is 10, maximum is 20, and this property is 3, then the
      valid values of this Range are 10, 13, 16, 19, and 20.
If the value of this property is zero, then valid values are only constrained to be between minimum and maximum inclusive.
This property also constrains valid values for the stepSize property when set.
      If this property is not explicitly set and stepSize is set, 
      then snapInterval defaults to stepSize.
 The default value is 1.

viewport:IViewport| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |

The viewport controlled by this scrollbar. If a viewport is specified, then changes to its actual size, content size, and scroll position cause the corresponding ScrollBarBase methods to run:
viewportResizeHandler()contentWidthChangeHandler()contentHeightChangeHandler()viewportVerticalScrollPositionChangeHandler()viewportHorizontalScrollPositionChangeHandler()The VScrollBar and HScrollBar classes override these methods to 
      keep their pageSize, maximum, and value properties in sync with the
      viewport. Similarly, they override their changeValueByPage() and changeValueByStep() methods to
      use the viewport's scrollPositionDelta methods to compute page and
      and step offsets.
 The default value is null.

| Product Version : | Flex 4 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 | 
     Animates the operation to move to newValue.
     The pageSize parameter is used to compute the amount 
     of time taken to get to that value, so that the time taken to animate
     a paging operation is roughly the same as the non-animated version; 
     both operations should end up at the same place at about the same time.
          
Parameters
| newValue:Number— The final value being paged to. | |
| pageSize:Number— The amount of horizontal or vertical movement requested.
     This value is used to compute, with therepeatIntervalstyle,
     the total time taken to move to the new value.pageSizeis usually set dynamically by the containing Scroller to the value required
     to view content at a logical content boundary. |

     Animates the operation to step to newValue.
     The stepSize parameter is used to compute the amount 
     of time taken to get to that value, so that the time taken to animate
     a stepping operation is roughly the same as the non-animated version; 
     both operations should end up at the same place at about the same time.
          
Parameters
| newValue:Number— The final value being stepped to. | |
| stepSize:Number— The amount of stepping requested.
     This value is used to compute, with therepeatIntervalstyle,
     the total time taken to step to the new value.stepSizeis usually set dynamically by the containing Scroller to the value required
     to view content at a logical content boundary. |

| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 | 
      Handles a click on the increment or decrement button of the scroll bar. 
      This should cause a stepping operation, which is repeated if held down.
      The delay before repetition begins and the delay between repeated events
      are determined by the repeatDelay and 
      repeatInterval styles of the underlying Button objects.
           
Parameters
| event:Event— The event object. |

 public function changeValueByPage(increase:Boolean = true):void| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version : | Flex 4 | 
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 | 
      Adds or subtracts pageSize from value.
      For an addition, the new value is the closest multiple of pageSize 
      that is larger than the current value.
      For a subtraction, the new value 
      is the closest multiple of pageSize that is 
      smaller than the current value. 
      The minimum value of value is pageSize. 
           
Parameters
| increase:Boolean(default =true)— Whether the paging action adds (true) or
      decreases (false)value. |
