Scrolling Thumbnail Panel
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie.

I know this sounds very simple, but how do you get the buttons to navigate to a url when you click on them?

as mentioned previously...great tutorial. i wanted a vertical scrolling panel (seems simple enough), but for some reason, i cannot get it to work. i have included the code. does anyone have any idea what is wrong? thanks - cricket
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;



function panelOver() 

	{

		this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

		delete this.onRollOver; //allows instances within the panel to receive button clips

	}



var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);



function scrollPanel()

	{

		if(_xmouse < b.xMin || _xmouse > b.xMax || _ymouse < b.yMin || _ymouse > b.yMax)

			this.onRollOver = panelOver;

			delete this.onEnterFrame;

	}

	

if (panel._y >=	21.3)

{panel._y = 21.3;}

	

if (panel._y <=	-982.7)

{panel._y = -982.7;}

	

	

var ydist = _ymouse - 400;

panel._y += -ydist / 7; //speed of panel larger = slower, smaller number = faster
- AHHHHH i forgot some brackets.
