Need help with dual slider

Question

Hi everyone, I am a flash designer new to flex, i know that
Flex is geared more towards coders than designers, but i have a
pretty good grasp on how to work w/ flex and as3. usually if i find
some example i can mold my project after that. anyways here's my
problem: i found a dual slider component by
Brendan
Meutzner and have it working great. what i need is for its
change event to affect a grid of items in an xml file based on
price. i know i need to put these items in an array collection.
however, i found the adobe
FlexStore
and realized i could download the source by right clicking on it.
in the products section there is the code and everything i need to
make my project work (the slide updates visible products based on
their price) but my problem is it only works the first time(if you
move the slider you will see it update the product view but only
from the initial values that wee set). here is a
LINK
to my files (with sourceview enabled) so if anyone can help me out,
it would be much appreciated. feel free to email me,
[email protected]
if you need any more info to help me out. thanks!

Thanks NED!
that was it... I got the code below working.
stop();
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
vol_slider.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.mask = vol_slider;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
vol_switch.x = vol_slider.x;
function startDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
vol_slider.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(2, 0, 298, 0));
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
function stopDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
vol_slider.stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
vol_switch.buttonMode = true;
vol_switch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragHandler);
