Hi there… first time post. i’m going to jump right in here and ask for help taking what i have done so far to the next level and hopefully help me attemp to refine it by pointing out what i might have done and how i might do what still needs to be done.
Ok, with that said… This is probably going to be really hard to explain so, please, take a look at THIS fla and hopefully you’ll get a better understanding of what i hope to achieve. i’m making a portfolio website for myself and have made this photo display nav thingamagig, which is a set of 8 narrow rectangular bars that when you rollover move to a constant position and then scale to load an image…
So, first off, i’m asking how else could i write what i’ve already written? i’d like to have written it some other way to make the AS condensed and less repetitive and also to be able to easily integrate the scaling of the rectangle to different width pics than just all being square pics without… i guess you’d say, hardcoding it??
How would loading the images by xml work and making sure that if the user clicks on another image before the other has loaded the two won’t interfer with each other? would i have one empty clip or an empty clip in each bar?
The scaling of the rectangle is jumpy, why?
Also, i would rather it was an onRelease rather than a hittest (onRollover), but so far, ways that i have tried rewriting it nothing works… and this was the only way i could think to possibly make what i had in mind work… my AS is limited :-/
Anyone willing to work through this with me?
thanks for reading and thanks for any help:)
