Scrolling Thumbnail Panel

Hi, this is a really great tutorial. But I am trying to do this using AS3, and I am not getting anywhere, is there anyway you could help me out with this?

Thanx

Hi, ppl. For all of you who want to make a link between the thumbs in the panel MC and another frame, here is how I could make it work.

First: name the frame you want to play (put it a name in the properties panel)

Second: introduce this code in the button you want to make the action:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("frame name");
}

Repeat the process with each frame and button you need.Don't forget to put the same name to the frame and the button code.
I hope you like it and please forgive my English.=P

Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial it works well! I've changed the X to Y so that I can make it work vertical and it works perfectly.

However I'm just wondering is there a way that you can edit the script so that when you are not on it it doesn't continue to scroll. When you originally go on it it doesn't scroll, but can you set it so that when the user is not over it, it doesn't move???

Thanks in advance!

Hi there. Great tutorial. I really followed your tutorial very closely. One thing is that my scrolling is not smooth. How do I make it smooth?

My size of image is 150 x 150.

My stage is 850. My thumbnails are on the right. Meaning to say that it is irregular size. The right column is bigger and the left column is small.

And this is the code:

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouseb.xMax || _ymouseb.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if(panel._x >= -230) {
panel._x = -230;
}

if(panel._x <= -1399) {
panel._x = -1399;
}

var xdist = _xmouse - 125;

panel._x += Math.round(-xdist / 25);
}

Is there something wrong here? Is my speed to high or what? Please advise and please help. Thanks a million.

Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I am using this scrolling panel as my navigation for my website. I am having trouble with clicking the buttons to go to the pages. I changed it a bit to fit AS3. I remember the video mentioning that flash does not support nested rollover and that there are ways around it. How do I enable my scrolling buttons navigate to different pages?


Thanks

Hi, i have followed the instructions and when i test my movie the scroll doe not stop when my curser is off the panel

can u hep me with that

How can this be translated to as3?

I am having one slight problem with Lee's Tutorial.
It does not stop going to the right.

My stage is: 562
The panel width is: 1534.6
My mask is: 545

Any help would be appreciated - Sky

panel.onRollOver=panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame=scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}
var b = stroke.getBounds (_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouseb.xMax || _ymouseb.yMax) {
this.onRollOver=panelOver;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

if (panel._x >= 5) {
panel._x = 5;
}
if (panel._x <= -982) {
panel.x = -982;
}

var xdist = _xmouse - 281;
panel._x += -xdist/15;
}

I tried many tutorials and this one worked for me. As for the post about opening a new window my code here worked on the buttons/thumbs:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open('urladdress','test','width=450,height=300');void(0);") ;

}

You have to attach to the individual button not the whole panel.

My only problem right now is the original flash thumbs disappear when that window appears.

Sorry did anyone answer the question on how to go to a url if you click a button in this?

Also is there any way to update this actionscript to 3.0?

I'm immediatelt lost. I can't figure out how the bitmap and thumbnail folders were set up. Are the bitmaps coverted to symbols before the stroke is added? or is the stroke part of the same symbol as the bitmap? or perhaps the stroke is its own symbol. That's what I'm missing. I don't understand what objects comprise the on and over states, Is the on state just a stroke symbol, applied to a bitmap graphic? or are they both a single symbol?

I'd like to get on to some of the meatier problems everyone is having but I'm sinking in the harbor.

Ok, how do I followed along and got everything to work fine in that movie...but how do I implement this into another movie. I'm trying to use this as my navigation menu to load another movie into an empty movie clip. My dilema is how do I put this scroll into another movie clip, or even can you. I put the actionscript on the first frame of the Scene 1 layer (just like in the tutorial) and it does nothing. I went into the movie clip and did the same, and it did nothing...my email is on file, feel free to get back to me, thanks.

I have the same problem where the panel will not pan ... hmmm ... I checked all the script and still doesn't seem to pan ... I have Flash CS3 ... hints to help?

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.

hey there, great tutorial. i just have one problem which im sure is the dumbest thing. everything worked perfectly but when trying to make the thumbnail call out a lrger image, nothing seems to happen.
What I did is put inside the "panel" movieclip the A.script.

on (press) {gotoAndStop (5)
}

any suggestions?
