Scrolling thumbnails not scrolling within parent fla

1

yes - yet another question regarding the popular and useful photogallery tutorial.

i’ve gotten it to work, and gotten the swf loaded into a movie clip in my parent fla - but the scroll feature doesn’t seem to work…

any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

I have the same problem too… I couldn’t figure it out to make scroller move… please help. the .zip which contains parent and photogallery files.

Thanks

It doesn’t work because you refer to _root in the thumbnailScroller function.
Change it like this (ie _root is replaced with this._parent)

function thumbNailScroller() {
	// thumbnail code! 
	this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
	scroll_speed = 20;
	tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if ((this._parent._ymouse>=thumbnail_mc._y) && (this._parent._ymouse<=thumbnail_mc._y+thumbnail_mc._height)) {
			if ((this._parent._xmouse>=(hit_right._x-40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
				thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
			} else if ((this._parent._xmouse<=(hit_left._x+50)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
				thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;
			}
		} else {
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	};
}

thanks - i appreciate your help - it’s working great now.

but now i’ve got a new problem: getting the viewer to load into dreamweaver as a working swf rather than just a static image - any hints / ideas?

thanks 100000
