Defining visibility mode for widgets
By defining the visibility of widgets, developers can make certain facets of the widget available to users for preview or
customization.
The visibility status of a widget can be set for the following views:
• Widget tab in the property panel (Stage state): Developers can display a snapshot of the widget in this tab.
• Widget Parameters tab in the property panel (Edit state): The snapshot of the object is usually hidden in this mode,
and only the parameters that can be customized are displayed.
• During run time: Developers can define the visibility of an object based on certain parameters.
• Widgets panel: To display the SWF file in preview mode, set wm==preview in the code.
