GhostWire SlidePane

This Flash component allows you to create container panes that will auto slide in/out depending on whether the mouse is over them. The SlidePanes can be configured to slide to the bottom, left, right or top.

Example

The following is an example of the SlidePane component (filesize 13KB, 5KB empty pane + Buttons)

Features

Configurable Anchor Side

The SlidePane can be configured to slide to the bottom, left, right or top:

Edge Visibility

If you wish, you may set the edgeVisible property to 'false', in which case the hotspot (triggering the slidepane to slide into view) will be an invisible area at the edge of the pane:

Embed Content

You may set any exported symbol in the library as the content for the SlidePane using the setContent(symbolID) method during runtime, or load an external file into the SlidePane using loadContent(url). During authoring time, you can also set the content via the properties panel.

Snap to Pixel

The component snaps to pixel when published, ensuring that it looks crisp and sharp when the movie plays. Usually to achieve this, you need to ensure that you place your movieclips at integer coordinates (no decimal place) during authoring time. This is not necessary with GhostWire components, which will automatically snap to pixel when published. For example, if the component was placed at x coordinate 20.2, when published it will be placed at x coordinate 20.0 instead. In addition, the component also resizes itself to integer widths and heights.

Truly Skinnable
