3 Questions

[boptilyadrop55]

Hi all!

First of all I have to say that the scroller file is really great! Just bought it on FlashDen, it's easy to use and really has a lot of adjustment possibilities. Definitely worth the 6 bucks!

There are just 3 problems that I could not solve - I hope you can help me.

1. Bold Text - can I change the typeface of the label to BOLD? When I do that in the properties inspector, it doesn't work.

2. Border size - Can I change the border size so that it has 15 px size to the left, top and right, but 45 px at the bottom? Or does the border always have to have the same size on all 4 sides of the thumbnail?

3. Easing - Is there a way to adjust the easing of the clip (to linear movement / no ease, or to a faster easing so that it does not take that long to get to the first or the last picture if there are a lot of thumbs shown).

Thanks a lot - and again: GREAT WORK!

Hi - again - ,

I was able to solve the border issue now - but there are 3 new questions :

-Can I integrate a mask for the thumb pictures - I want them all to have rounded corners

and

- how can I integrate a stop-function so that the scroller stops moving as soon as the mouse is outside the scroller area

- when thumb selection is turned on, the first thumb is selected by default. Is it possible to change this so that no thumb is selected at the startup of the movie?

Thanks for your help!

1. You shoudl read this article about fonts; it will clear things up

2. Border size must be the same for all the sides

3. I'm afraid not, I not using the Tween class or the Easing types that flash supports. It is a simple script that moves the thumbs list according to the mouse position and it has some limitations with very long lists and smaller viewing areas.

The scroller stops everytime you exit outside the thumbs area. I don't know what you are referring to. If you could show me a sample I could give you more help. From your description I don't understand much. As far as I know, the scroller doesn't behave like you have described. Are you sure you are referring to the Horizontal Scroller ?

Hi Adrian!

Firstly, thanks for your help so far.

- fonts issue / bold text: OK, I see that I have to use bold versions of the fonts themselves - solved
- rounded corners – solved
- first thumb selected – solved
- border size – solved
- easing speed – OK, I cannot adjust that except of managing the inbuilt speed control - solved

The last issue (that’s driving me mad) is the stop function if the mouse moves out of the scroller area. You can see the file up on

news aktuell

Now when the scroller is moving and I move the mouse out of the scroll area, the scroller goes on moving. It should stop when the mouse is not over the scroller.

And can I include a function that stops the scroller everytime I click a thumb and move the mouse out of the scroller field? It should start again when the mouse returns to the scroller.

Is that possible?

Thanks for your time, appreciate it!

Hi, doesn't anybody know how to completely stop the scroller from moving on rollOut?

Thanks!

Actually the scroller stops when you exit the scrolling area, but you have to many images for that visibile area and it will scroll until the list of thumbs gets to the position based on the last mouse position before exiting the area.

OK, I see, but isn't there a way to completely stop that movement on rollOut? I mean, there is this

_global.$stopTween(this, props, true);

function in the MCTween, this looks like it could help, but I don't have a clue how to include it. Can you help?

Thanks!

The scrolling is not implemented with MCTween.
