Infinite Scroller Question

Okay, so I’m working the infinite scroller tutorial into a site that I’m building right now. Here’s the problem: I only want it to respond to the mouse’s x-position when the cursor is within the region of the scroller itself. That is, I want it to slow to a stop whenever the person browsing the site is looking at a different part of the page. I tried setting up some actionscript logic to do this, but it’s not working quite right. How do I do this?

I found an example of a website with an infinite scroller that works the way I want it to:

(go to the “short films” section, and click on one of the clips, and it will go show the infinite scroller that I’m referring to.)

Thanks,

Hi,

This piece of code may help you. It’s not infinite but you can ad that bit.


// centerx in your case would be _root._xmouse
//inertia is a decimal number ( ie : 0.80 ) 
//k is a centesimal number (ie : 0.01)
MovieClip.prototype.scrollAClip = function(centerx, inertia, k,) {
	this.x = -this._x+centerx;
	this.xp = this.xp*inertia+this.x*k;
	this._x += this.xp;
};

Cheers
