SMOOTH simple scrollbar

programming flash
1

Hello there!

I’ve made the kirupa simple scrollbar horizontal. This works just perfect but it is not smooth. My question to you is - how to make it smooth? I’ve been searching in different forums all night but I just can’t find an answer.

I’ve got 4 MC’s with the instance names content, mask, scroll_area and scroller.

My AS looks like this:

onClipEvent (load) {

    _root.content_width = content._width;
    _root.scroller_area_width = scroll_area._width;
    scroller._width = _root.scroller_area_width/(content._width/scroll_area._width);
    _root.scroller_width = scroller._width;
    _root.maxXMove = _root.scroller_area_width - _root.scroller_width;
    
    function updateScrollbar () {
    content._x = - scroller._x * ((content._width - mask._width) / _root.maxXMove);
    }
    
    
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
    if (scroller.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)) {
        scroller.startDrag(0,_root.maxXMove,0,0);
        scrolling = true;
    }
    if (right.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
        right.gotoAndStop(2);
        direction = -1;
        scrolling = true;
        _root.right_controller.gotoAndPlay(2);
        
    }
    if (left.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
        left.gotoAndStop(2);
        direction = 1;
        scrolling = true;
        _root.left_controller.gotoAndPlay(2);
    }
}


onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
    stopDrag();
    scrolling = false;
    right.gotoAndStop(1);
    left.gotoAndStop(1);
    _parent.left_controller.gotoAndStop(1);
    _parent.right_controller.gotoAndStop(1);
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if (scrolling){
        updateScrollbar();
    }


}

I have tried myself to make it smooth by adding this piece of text but it just don’t work!:

    var funkyVar = -this._parent.scroller._x*(((this._width-this._parent.scroller._width)/(this._parent.scroll_area._width-this._parent.scroller._width))-1)    this.X = (funkyVar-this._x)*.2;
    this._x += this.X;
    if(Math.abs(funkyVar-this._x)<1 && !dragging){
        delete this.onEnterFrame
    }

Someone help me please!!

Best
