I am going mad here… I am pretty new to AS3 and I am ad-libbing the code to create a scrolling image gallery as seen when you click ‘new panel’ here: http://www.noponies.com/dev/as3_scrollingpanel/
How he set that up was WAY too complicated for me so I am trying to simplify it to my knowledge.
Let me explain my problem…
I have managed to ensure that by clicking the left and right buttons my panel scrolls a certain amount of pixels at a time, and when it reaches the end of the panel I have put in an eventListener to ensure that the button won’t click anymore. So far so good. The problem is that if I have gone all the way to the right edge of the panel and start going back towards the left I can’t go right again because the button no longer lets me click it.
(another problem I am having is that if I click the button before the tween has finished it throws off my co-ordinates - is there any way to deactivate the button for around 2 seconds so that doesn’t happen?)
I’m on a really tight deadline so I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me… i don’t know who else to ask!
Here is my code for a better idea:
stop();
import gs.TweenLite;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, leftClick)
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rightClick)
function leftClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(panel, 1, {x:“299”});
if(panel.x >= -300)
leftArrow.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, leftClick)
}
function rightClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(panel, 1, {x:"-299"});
if(panel.x <= -2900)
rightArrow.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rightClick)
}
