Make a regular wall panel and place it one tile behind the rest of the wall, so there is no gap. Then, animate the wall sliding over to the side, or sides, and whallah! You have your sliding door.
Edit: Oh, no, no, no, no NO! I FORGOT TO CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER OF MY SENTENCE!!! That's the first post I made on BiM that has that error! And...fixed!
It's "voilà." Not "whallah."
My technique is the most common that I've seen...
Just build two identical walls sized 1xY with a gap as a doorway, then put them one stud apart. Fill the gap along the wall with flat 1xY tiles, and build another wall to be the door. Put the door between the gap, and there you go. Or you could make two mini walls and have a splitting door, but then you'd have to work out the sizes, and where to put 'stopper' bricks. When you've made the above (If you make sense of it =P) you'll know what I mean.
I have the same Quistion. Pics would be nice.
Ps, sorry for bad spelling.
Build a one stud thick wall segment, put tiles underneath, then build one stud thick walls on either side so the door can slide into it. You probably didn't understand that.

I make a single 1xy wall, with a gap, and create say, for a 6 stud gaps, a wall of 6x1's, 5x1's, 4x1's, 3x1's, 2x1's, and 1x1's. Each one is shot for one frame, and it appears that the door slides into the wall.
Eh, that doesn't really give you a lot of control over what it will look like. I would rather be able to move the actual door instead of having to have 6 types on studs. It allows you to put the door in between the studs.
