I am trying to add a controlbar to the Flex Spark Panel component just below to the title bar. It is to works as the controlbar of the spark controlbar. So that I can add components to the To implement it I have created a skin and a as3 class extending the spark class. But it is not working. Can any one help me out. I am new to spark components. I need help.

The Skin: CustoPanel\src\skin\CustomPanelSkinHeaderControlBar.mxml
