Description

Found in 4.0.0.12121

Steps to reproduce:
1. http://river.corp.adobe.com:81/flex_gumbo_newcompiler_standalone/standalone/langref/spark/components/supportClasses/ScrollBar.html
2. http://river.corp.adobe.com:81/flex_gumbo_newcompiler_standalone/standalone/langref/spark/components/supportClasses/Slider.html

Code hinting brings up s:Slider in Builder, but you get RTEs when trying to use the class, since Slider is a base class and you're supposed to use HSlider and VSlider instead. I believe we should rename "Slider" to "SliderBase" (and similarly ScrollBar to ScrollBarBase).

Actual Results:
People try and use <s:Slider/> in their apps and get RTEs.

Expected Results:
People see <s:ScrollBarBase/> in code hinting and notice that it probably isnt the correct end-user class.

Workaround (if any):
