property button, bar, direction, min, max, percentage, range, offset, Location,Name,downMem
property msgMovie,msgSprite,msgSpriteNum,sliderMsg,defaultVal
-- a simple horizontal or vertical slider.
-- properties:
--    button; the sprite number of the slider 'button' (the thing that slides)
--    bar; the sprite number of the slider bar itself.
--    direction; #Horizaontal or #Vertical
--    min; the pixel value of the left (or bottom) end of the slider
--    max; the pixel value of the right (or top) end of the slider
--    percentage; the current percentage value represented by the slider
--    range; the number of pixels between 'min' and 'max'
--    offset; the actual pixel location along the slider
--    location; the fixed location of the slider.  This does not change, unless the actual
--    location of the slider changes.
--    the developer needs to provide a handler called "sliderIsMoving" which is called whenever the slider's value is changed.
