Composer 6.0 Tutorial - Hidden Slideout Panel

In this tutorial I describe how to create a hidden panel, so that when any of the icons have focus the panel is out making the icons visible, and that when none of the icons are focused the panel slides out of view of the screen. I have uploaded the code to my mediafire account. You will have to customize to fit your naming conventions when it comes to layers and buttons, etc. Here is the link:

@KrustyYeti Hey, I looked over my code and rewatched my video, if you included the whole code snippet that I have in the code text file you shouldn't be having a problem.. it allows for the "focus out" attribute, you may have to play with the numbers to fit the screen you're on, but other than that are you doing everything exactly as I have done?

great tutorial! i have watched some videos for making simple docks , more detailed from yours but with your video i am starting to understand many things and for what reason we do certain steps...although my dock has in the first 3 slots the same icon and its transparent..i would find the mistakes...you explain things great! thanks for the tutorial and i hope you will make many others...i would love to see one for a simple hidden bottom dock...
