Hi, I have found code courtesy of Kirupa.com for scrolling thumbnails - I am trying to use them as thumbnails for video in Flash and I want the user to be able to scroll over and the thumbnails to appear inside a movie clip. The code is;
// thumbnail code!
function thumbNailScroller() {
createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
scroll_speed = 10;
tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((_root._ymouse>=thumbnail_mc._y) && (_root._ymouse<=thumbnail_mc._y+thumbnail_mc._height)) {
if ((_root._xmouse>=(hit_right._x-10)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
} else if ((_root._xmouse<=200) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;
}
} else {
delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval("thumbnail_mc.t"+k)._width+5)*k;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue-1;
nextImage();
};
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
thumbNailScroller();
};
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
}
this code works great but I want to get this code to control the contents of a movieClip from the root timeline so I can control the Alpha of that movieClip when the user rolls over. i have tried editing the code so the name of the movieclip this is contained in is in front the movieClip on the timeline being called thumbBar- for example;
thumbBar.thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
} else if ((_root._xmouse<=200) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
but this didn’t seem to work
I’m sure this is pretty obvious but I’m stuck, thanks to anyone who can help I’d be eternallyy grateful.
