hi …
i bought the “flash to the core” book about a month ago and ive gone through most of the stuff fine, but the very last tutorial has been giving me headaches.
the idea is that the page content is controlled by two controllers, one navbar along the top, and a scrollbar along the bottom. (the .fla file is on http://flashtothecore.praystation.com , chapter 21)
ive done it all right, and my file works exactly like the source file on the site, except ive had a lot of trouble adding actual content. I have read the tutorial many times, but the closest i got were these paragraphs:
“Having created an empty Movie Clip that will load and hold sections of content, we can go ahead and create some content for those sections. Go Back to the library, create a new Movie Clip, and name it “02 - section” … We’ll be writing some code that will talk to section_mc and duplicate it inside content_mc, but we need to link in order to use it”
“Additional sections may be added, or the content may be updated. This generic code for transfer of power needs no further adjustment and will continue to provide all calculations required for proportional movement…”
I did achieve that, when adding to the array’s max value, the scrollbar does automatically scale and everything, but the problem of actually adding content remains
