im trying to make a site like www.georgespencer.com

bt i’m having difficulty figuring out two functionalities here…

  1. when you click on any thumbnail…it zooms and navigation buttons appear at the sides…if you move to any other clip and then click on the “ZOOM OUT” button the movie zooms out at the clip where it had stopped. How do i detect which thumbnail was on the screen when the zoom out btn was clicked?

  2. when u reach a the end of any row or column u have an option to move the 1st clip of the next row e.g.
    if you reach at the end of the 1st row…the right arrow btn changes to another button which then slides down the Movie to the 1st clip of the 2nd row… how is dis done?

nice interface

tween class, which detects where it is at then tweens out and in of the respective thumbnail

ie,

vpos = present x and y

tween(containerMC, xscale, vpos, 100, 2, true)

the code knows how many thumbnails there are in a row, 8, 16, 32 whatever is the end of each row

so when you get to one of these there is a piece of code which tweens from 8 to 9, taking into account how wide the total is and how high a row is

nxtpos = vpos - (width * items in a row -1)
nxt2pos = v2pos - (height * 1 item)

tween(containerMC, _x, vpos, nxtpos, 2, true)
tween(containerMC, _y, vpos, nxt2pos, 2, true)

…

its complex and simple at the same time. might steal the idea :stuck_out_tongue:
