flvplayback hit area of controls

I have put an instance of the FLVPlayback component on the stage. I selected one of the pre-built skins that come with flash.

Everything is working with the video and the buttons.

My issu is the hit-state of the buttons on the skin. I have the play/pause button and the mute button on my skin.

Most users are rollong over the buttons and not getting the hand cursor so they think the button is not working. Both buttons have a very slim area that is the hit state. The hit state corresponds to the part of the button that is the hightlight color in the over state.

When I dive into the buttons, I can't see where the hitstate is being set.

Anyone have any ideas or a work around?

Thanks!
