Mismatched types for padding in UIComponent vs. HGroup

[estanglerbm]

paddingLeft, paddingTop, etc., have type Object in mx.core.UIComponent, but they have type Number in spark.components.HGroup.

This causes VerifyError: Error #1053 in Flash Debug Player for HGroup. (And would for VGroup, etc., if they implemented.) This is the problem described in issue #953.

Which type should it be, or is this function/member overloading intentional?

Should I thunk this with an SWFOverride, or do one of these need to be corrected?

This is the exception text that fdb shows:

So, should I thunk this with an SWFOverride, or do one of these need to be corrected?
