HELP! My SCROLL WON'T WORK

1

Im trying to get my scroll bar to work once ive imported an external swf file into a host movie.
If you open the work.swf file everything seems to work fine, but once you open it via the hostmovie.swf file (using loadmovie into a target MC) everything is frozen.

I have included the Fla’s to the above problem as an attachment so you know what im on about. Have a look, pull it apart and let us know how i can fix the problem (Any suggestions on how to do it properly will be accepted with gratitude - bear in mind, that i only know basic ActionScript)

help me obi-wan"s

_root is the very first timeline in the hierarchy, therefore when you load a movie into another movie, the _root is no longer the _root, it is instead the first timeline of the main movie.

Also… tellTarget is out.

Heres an example of how it should be…
[AS]on (press) {
scrollClip.gotoAndPlay(“up”);
}
on (release) {
scrollClip.gotoAndStop(1);
}[/AS]

Hmm, setProperty is out as well, and so are frame loops now that event handlers exist.

Perhaps you should check out this thread to build a more up to date scroller (if you want)…

If you want to keep your current method then remove the _roots from the up and down buttons and inside the scrollClip change the _roots to _parent… for example…
[AS]if (_root.titles._y>-85) {
_parent.titles._y -= 5;
} else {
_parent.titles._y = -85;
}[/AS]
