FLASH: Scrollbars with Flash

[Willie G]

Hi,


I joined this list a few days ago and am very happy I did! :o)


I have a request for help, but I hope it isn't too amatuerish for this

group.

Anyway, I made a scroll bar using hidden buttons and tell-target, very

rudimentary stuff, here's a link to the .fla file (ca. 315kb), if

anybody wants

see it:


 http://www.egroups.com/files/Flash-it/Scrolling.fla


There are thirty hidden buttons in a row and each sends a film sequence

to the next frame, via tell-target. It's a "simulated" scroll-bar, I

guess.


The problem is, it only seems to work with mouseOver and this is kind of

weird/uncomfortable for the visitor who is probably used to clicking to

drag a scroll bar. But as soon as it's clicked, the thing doesn't

respond anymore.

Of course, I've tried all the possible mouse events, but... alas.


Is there maybe another approach I could try? Any example

files/tutorials?


Oh, if anyone downloads the film, I should mention that the sound file

triggered when

you click is just for fun at the moment, it's not really part of the

finished film...


Thanks in advance for any feedback,


:?)Willie G.
