Hi everyone,

I have a file that I cannot tweak a small fix for the life of me, and I know it is something relatively simple. I’ve looked at it so long, that I can no longer think! Hate those days…

Anyways, it’s in regards to a simple scrollbar moving left to right. My button seems to be sticking to my mouse on release, although I put a stopDrag on it. I think I did some of this code backward, but it still works somehow; although I can’t explain it.

In addition can someone explain what the numbers in parenthesis/minus sign are representing in the following code (in red)? I think I’m looking at this wrong, which is why I am working backward. I need a refresher here as it’s been a while since I did one of these.

[COLOR=blue][COLOR=dimgray]// have the button interact with the scrollbar button (this is on the ScrollMC)[/COLOR]  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_root.vPosition = \_root.SliderMC.ButtonSliderMC.\_x \* [COLOR=red](800 / 390) - 200[/COLOR];  
\_root.ScrollMC.ScrollStripMC.\_x = \_root.vPosition \* -1;  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=blue][COLOR=dimgray]// drag the button on press (this is on a button inside ButtonSliderMC)[/COLOR]  
on(press){  
this.startDrag(true,195,0,0,0)  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=blue][COLOR=dimgray]// stop dragging the button on release (this is on a button inside ButtonSliderMC)[/COLOR]  
on(release){  
this.stopDrag();  
}[/COLOR]

I’m in somewhat of a deadline for today, so if anyone could help asap or forward a simple tutorial in AS 2.0, I would so greatly appreciate it! Thank you, and have a great day!
