uiswitchshared.swf

Nintendo Switch shared component library. This is not a screen — it is a collection of button-icon and cursor assets loaded by the Switch build's UI screens. For structural context see uips4shared.md; differences from that PS4 baseline are documented below.

Document/main class: none
SWF-specific classes: 48

Overview

The library follows the same two-tier architecture as the PS4 shared libs:

  1. Platform-neutral btn_console_* wrappers — same 16 logical-role MovieClip classes as the PS4 libs, plus one additional class unique to Switch and Xbox: btn_console_dpad_highlight.

  2. Xbox One-branded button icons (btn_XBOne_*) — 20 BitmapData subclasses embedding numbered PNG assets. The Switch build uses XBox One button artwork (A/B/X/Y face buttons, XB home button) rather than Nintendo-branded artwork; this is a common practice for Switch Unity/Scaleform titles that reuse an Xbox asset set.

  3. Cursors — same cur_twp and cur_twc clips as the PS4 libs.

  4. Keyboard icon — same keyboard/png bitmap.

  5. btn_console_XB stub — present as in the PS4 libs.

Total class count is 48 rather than 50 because the Switch lib has no PS4-only assets (btn_PS4_options, btn_PS4_PS, btn_PS4_touch, btn_PS4_thumbtop, btn_PS4_thumbside are absent), but adds btn_console_dpad_highlight and btn_XBOne_XB (home button) plus the full set of Xbox face/shoulder icons.

Notable classes

Platform-specific notes

  • Uses Xbox One artwork for all face/shoulder button icons, not Nintendo Switch-branded Joy-Con icons.
  • btn_console_dpad_highlight is present here (and in uixbshared) but absent from both PS4 libs.
  • The btn_XBOne_XB home button asset (34_btn_XBOne_XB.png) is identical between uiswitchshared and uixbshared — same file, same index.
  • PS4-specific classes (btn_PS4_options, btn_PS4_PS, btn_PS4_touch, btn_PS4_thumbtop, btn_PS4_thumbside) are entirely absent.
  • Symbol indices in btn_console_* wrappers differ from the PS4 builds (e.g. btn_console_dpad_north is symbol17 here vs symbol18 in uips4shared), reflecting a different symbol table in this platform's assets.swf.
