Animated UISlider

[gummyb3ar]

Is there a way to use animated sprites with the UISlider? Also, is it possible to change how the end of the slider (that moves)? For instance, normally it makes a hard edge at the end, is there a way to change it to a softer edge? I was just wondering if its possible with the current implementation or if I'll have to make some of my own tweaks to the UISlider.

Thanks!

Just change the foreground to use a sprite, or a sliced sprite that doesn't have a border on the right-hand side and you will get the soft edge. Attach UISpriteAnimation to the slider to animate it (or just do it yourself by changing the sprite's spriteName.

Thanks for the reply. Just to be sure, I add the UISpriteAnimation to the Foreground and Background of the slider right? And one more question, is there currently anyway for NGUI to tween the 5 or so frames of the animation I make?

That's what UISpriteAnimation does. Give all 5 of your sprites a name that begins with the same syntax, for example "My Animation 0", "My Animation 1", etc. Then on the UISpriteAnimation specify "My Animation" as the prefix.

Hmm yeah that's what I've done, but it just cycles through the 5 frames. I guess I'm asking if there's a way to smooth out the motion between each frame?

Smooth it out? You mean fade one in while another is fading out? You'd have to code it yourself.
