[AS3] Slider Component - starting position?

[midimid]

Is there any way to set the starting position of the standard Flash CS3 Slider Component? It always defaults to the minimum value.

i.e.

var s:Slider = new Slider();
s.liveDragging = false;
s.setSize(75,0);
s.maximum = 10;
s.minimum = 0;
s.snapInterval = 1;

// s.startingPosition = 3; // any way to do this?

s.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, dispatchChange);
addChild(s);
