hi everyone>
i’m building a site with a horizontal sliding menu not unlike the one shown in the “add thumbnails” tutorial. the one that i’m building involves a row of generated movieclips to be placed inside a parent called “displayarea”, and “displayarea” needs to line up starting at a point in the middle (for now, it’s hard-coded as the negative _x value of a generated movieclip called “menu15” --see below).
my problem is: the way it’s displayed using the code below, when the user mouses out of the area that activates the scrolling, the movie clip “displayarea” always snaps back to the original _x position.
how can i set the starting _x position of “displayarea”, and tell the code to only use it as a starting point, and the scrolling will take over once the clip has loaded?
i’ve attached the swf so you can have a look at the problem.
<–this code is attached to the first frame of the timeline that contains “displayarea”–>
alignPoint = getProperty(displayarea.menu15, _x);
reelPos = displayarea._x;
displayarea._x = -alignPoint;
if (_ymouse>-150) {
if (_ymouse<0) {
if (_xmouse<-400) {
if (displayarea.hitTest (hitLeft)) {
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/15;
reelPos = Math.round (reelPos-reelSpeed);
displayarea._x = reelPos;
}
}
else if (_xmouse>400) {
if (displayarea.hitTest (hitRight)) {
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/15;
reelPos = Math.round (reelPos-reelSpeed);
displayarea._x = reelPos;
}
}
}
}
<–end code–>
thanks in advance for your help!
