I’m working on a banner advertisement but I’ve hit a bit of a snag. First, here’s what I’m trying to do.
1 - Eight MovieClips are added to the timeline. They are based on a MovieClip in the library which contains 1 dynamic text field.
2 - Content is to scroll on screen(from right-to-left), then off in a cyclic pattern. Once an item is scrolled off-screen, it’s position is reset it’s original position (slightly off-screen on the right side) effectively preparing them for more scrolling.
3 - The same MovieClip can’t scroll in if it was the last one to be on-screen.
That’s it really. When the clips are created, the dynamic text field for each is set to a counter value which basically gives each a number from 1 to 9, letting me differentiate each clip from the one other. As it is right now, it ‘sort of’ works which well, just doesn’t cut it which is why I’m here. Content merrily scrolls maybe 3 or 4 times on average, then nothing happens. I’m sure my logic is wrong somehow (obviously) but I’m going cross-eyed trying to figure it out.
Here’s a link to the source .FLA. I’m using CS4 but I saved it as CS3 to cater to the largest group possible.
Oh, and I’m using the caurina Tweener package for the scrolling of MovieClips. If you think that bites, please feel free to use any tweening package, native or otherwise…
Any input regarding the matter would be greatly appreciated
