XML Gallery

1

Hi following the XML Gallery tutorial i’ve setup a small gallery. However, i want to use the gallery inside a another mc (named ‘gallery’). It loads fine etc but the scrolling doesnt work. I have two example…

This example has the right scrolling working but doesn’t stop on mouse out. Left scrolling doesn’t work at all (look for the relative paths):

function thumbNailScroller() {
 this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
 scroll_speed = 10;
 tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
  if ((_root._ymouse>=this.thumbnail_mc._y) && (_root._ymouse<=this.thumbnail_mc._y+this.thumbnail_mc._height)) {
   if ((_root._xmouse>=(_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hit_right._x-40)) && (_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
    _root.gallery.thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
   } else if ((_root._xmouse<=(_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hit_left._x+40)) && (_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
    this.gallery.thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;
   }
  } else {
   delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
  }
 };
}

This example means the scrolling doesn’t work at all (absolute paths):

function thumbNailScroller() {
 this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
 scroll_speed = 10;
 tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
  if ((_root._ymouse>=_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc._y) && (_root._ymouse<=_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc._y+_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc._height)) {
   if ((_root._xmouse>=(_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hit_right._x-40)) && (_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
    _root.gallery.thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
   } else if ((_root._xmouse<=(_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hit_left._x+40)) && (_root.gallery.thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
    this.gallery.thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;
   }
  } else {
   delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
  }
 };
}

any ideas why? thanks
