hey guys, i’m running MX 2004 pro.
here’s what’s going on:
i’ve got a horizontally-scrolling menu (in a movieclip) that is constructed similarly to the tutorial here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Vertical-Jeremy_B-815/index.php
in the same .fla, there is also a drop-down menu, that when down covers part of the scrolling menu. this, of course, triggers the scrolling menu. ideally, the scrolling menu would instead continue to scroll, and be unaffected by a user selecting an item from the drop down menu.
in the timeline, i have the following code pasted onto the instance of the horizontal scrolling menu:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xmousepos1 = _xmouse;
ymousepos1 = _ymouse;
if (xmousepos1>xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.nextFrame();
}
if (xmousepos1<xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.prevFrame();
}
if (ymousepos1<-45 || ymousepos1>60) {
play();
}
xmousepos2 = _xmouse;
ymousepos2 = _ymouse;
}
how could i modify this so as not to be affected by the drop down menu? unfortunately, moving the position of the drop down is not an option.
thanks for reading and thanks for your time,
decerebrate
