Archived:SlidePanel component for Flash Lite
We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.

This page explains the installation and use of the SlidePanel component for Flash Lite.
Contents |
Description
The SlidePanel component allows you to specify any number of movie clips for use in your Flash Lite application and navigate through them through a slide effect.
Installation
Install the component by unzipping the downloaded SlidePanelComponent.zip, double-clicking the SlidePanel.mxp file and following the instructions in the Adobe Extension Manager. Restart Flash CS3/CS4 after installing to see the SlidePanel component show up in the Components panel.
Requirements
- Adobe Flash Professional CS3 or CS4
Download
You can download the SlidePanel component here: Media:SlidePanelComponent.zip
Basic usage
- Drag the SlidePanel component from the Components panel to the stage
- Open the Component Inspector panel
- Specify the component properties (see screenshot)
Movieclips are added to the SlidePanel component by their linkage ID value. To set a linkage ID for a movie clip, right-click it in the Library panel and go to Properties. There you select "Export for ActionScript" and fill in the "Identifier" field (see screenshot). This is a String value that you can later use to reference that particular movieclip through code.
Component API
Methods
- addPanel - add a movie clip linkage ID to the queue (String value)
- init - initialize the SlidePanel component and attach initial movie clip
- previous - slides to previous panel in queue if available (returns a Boolean)
- next - slides to next panel in queue if available (returns a Boolean)
- slideTo - navigates to any given movie clip with a given slide direction (left/right)
Properties
- speed - Number value, speed at which the slide effect occurs (default value is 5)
- panel - String value, returns the current panel linkage ID
Events
- first - event triggers when first panel in queue is reached
- last - event triggers when last panel in queue is reached
- animating - event triggers when slide effect is starting
- animation_complete - event triggers when slide effect is finished
Examples
All examples below assume you have an instance of the SlidePanel component on stage with instance name "slidePanel"

To avoid problems with positioning, make sure you set the registration point of the movie clips to the top left corner.
Slide to any given movie clip

slidePanel.slideTo("someMovieClip", "left");
The example above assumes there is a movie clip with linkage ID "someMovieClip" in your project. This movie clip does not necessarily need to be in the queue. Possible values for slide direction are left or right.
Get notified when the SlidePanel component reaches the first or last movie clip in the queue
