Slide image from off screen?

[PiNPOiNT]

Hello

I'm trying to slide a image from off screen onto the main menu when it loads up.

my code is
<control>
<description>speedlines</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>-5464</posX>
<posY>120</posY>
<texture>speedlines.png</texture>
<animation effect="slide" end="1366,0" time="2000">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="slide" end="1366,0" time="2000">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

From what i understand, the image should start at negative 5646 and slide across the screen to finish at 1366 over a period of 2000ms

however when the image is starting off screen, the animation wont play it seems, is this a bug? or did i code it in correctly?

Thanks

Test
<control>
<description>speedlines</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>1360</posX>
<posY>120</posY>
<texture>speedlines.png</texture>
<animation effect="slide" start="-1360,0" time="2000">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="slide" end="-1360,0" time="2000">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

The skin engine has a bug that does not show the image sometimes if it has been outside the screen.
So you have to experiment with diffret values.

Here is a copy of the code in which i have something slide in from off screen the move up when the window is opened.

		<control>
			<description>menu cover top</description>
			<type>image</type>
			<id>0</id>
			<posX>300</posX>
			<posY>130</posY>
			<width>711</width>
			<height>178</height>
			<texture>menu_cover_top.png</texture>
      <animation effect="fade" time="200" delay="310">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="fade" time="400" delay="400">WindowClose</animation>
      <animation effect="slide" time="400" start="-800,0" delay="310">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="slide" time="400" start="0,0" end="0,-100" delay="700">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="slide" time="400" start="0,-100" end="0,0" >WindowClose</animation>
      <animation effect="slide" time="400" end="800,0" delay="400" >WindowClose</animation>
		</control>

"start=0,0" is the starting pixal off set for the slide from the orignal postion( <posX>300</posX><posY>130</posY>).

"end=0,0" is the end of the slide pixal off set
