Not infinite menu

programming flash
1

I ´ve learned how to do an infinite menu, but for my project, it would be better if the menu stopped at the end instead.

I´ve read about infinite menu on
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

I´ve searched around kirupa but found nothing.

Any help?

if(yourmc._x <= mcx1) {
yourmc._x = mcx1;
}
if(yourmc._x >= mcx2) {
yourmc._x = mcx2;
}

replace “yourmc” with the instance name of the menu-movieclip. (or deleted it if the code is assigned on the menu itself)
and change mcx1 to the _x position of the menu where you don’t want it to scroll ot the left anymore! |<—
and mcx2 to the _x position of the menu where you don’t want it to scroll to the right anymore! —>|

I inserted the script you provided, but it didn´t work.
I´m using this script on the MC:

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=150;
speed=1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
}

Now where should I insert the code you gave me?

put it within he onClipEvent(enterFrame) handlers!

long time no see lost…

i have another alternative for this…

MovieClip.prototype.slideX = function(endPosx) {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if (this._x<=endPosx) {
			currentPosx = this._x;
			diffPosx = endPosx-currentPosx;
			movex = diffPosx/3;
			this._x = this._x+movex;
			if (this._x>=endPosx) {
				this._x = endPosx;
				this.onEnterFrame = null;
			}
		}
		if (this._x>=endPosx) {
			currentPosx = this._x;
			diffPosx = endPosx-currentPosx;
			movex = diffPosx/3;
			this._x = this._x+movex;
			if (this._x<=endPosx) {
				this._x = endPosx;
				this.onEnterFrame = null;
			}
		}
	};
};

that’s for my prototype…

//holder is my MC
var startPos = holder._x;
//rectMask is the maskMC
var d = holder._width-rectMask._width;
var const = d/rectMask._width;
this.onMouseMove = function() {
	var endPos = (_xmouse-startPos)*(const);
	if (rectMask.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, false)) {
		holder.slideX(-endPos+startPos);
	}
};

and that is for the action…

hope it helps…:slight_smile:

i’ll be gone for a while, so can’t help u after this…

Hi

In the case of an infinite menu. Can I make the xcenter to be widther than just a number? Make it be from 130 to 170 so it´s easier for the user to stop the menu?

The code I´m using is:

onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = 150;
speed = .3/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x += (distancespeed);
}
onClipEvent (load) {
if (_x<=10) {
_x =10;
}
if (_x>=300) {
_x = 300;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distancespeed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-300;
if (_x < -300) _x=0;
}

thanks
