Bevel Components 2.0 Final Spec

Here are the final upgrade specs for the Bevel Components. If you use the components and want to see something added, speak up before I start implementing version 2 on the train tonight.

BEGIN SPEC

-----------------------------
Disable tab selection

-----------------------------
setBevelInverted(boolean) - public method to invert bevelling

-----------------------------
Add documentation (as soon as I can use CyberSage's FlashDoc software to document my code)

-----------------------------

Sam, how about a method to change the style that the background movieclip uses. Sometimes I like the background to use the 'face' style, sometimes 'background'.

setPanelToBackground();
setPanelToFace();

-----------------------------
A new bevel component with just a single border, with shadow and highlight styles like the inside part of the double bevel component.

My wish for the Bevel Component V2:
The possibility to get only the Bevelframe or fade the innerside of
the Component.

-----------------------------
Optimize the rendering, even though it's pretty optimized already

-----------------------------
Create a component with the ability to save, retrieve, and set StyeFormat properties of other specific components on stage using a Shared Objects component. By the way, I have a hunch that you can technically allow live previews on stage to talk with each other using Shared Objects and/or LocalConnection. I'll investigate this hunch later :-)

-----------------------------
Create a user-defined polygon bevelling component, so that you can create angular shapes more complicated than regular rectangles.

-----------------------------
APPENDED: parameter and set method for background transparency

setPanelTransparency(0 to 100)

END OF SPEC
