Sliding panels insert object

Question

I am using trial DW CS3. I have updated to Spry 1.5 as
recommended. I do not see any support for inserting "sliding
panels" through the spry insert interface.
What is wrong here. Am i doing something wrong, is it through
another interface.
The 1.5 update package includes samples and code updates, so
how do I use this widget?

Hi,
In most ways, Spry and Dreamweaver are separate projects.
Spry 1.5 does not add new features to Dreamweaver. I did write an
extension that simply updates the javascript files that Dreamweaver
copies to the users site. It does not add any additional features.
It does update the code hinting but that's it.
In order to add new features to DW, the DW team would have to
write, test and package an update to the product. So far there are
no plans for that, but they are discussing options.
Spry has a shorter development time, so it will keep making
new features for the framework, independent of DW.
The updater extension can be found here:

To use the new 1.5 features, check out the samples and read
the docs and it should be simple enough to build. If not, let us
know.
I hope this clears things up.
