Problem with easing scrollbar

[flaxcreatures]

Hi there,
can someone help me with thisone: I've used the script from this board that was posted a week ago I presume.


fscommand("allowscale", "false");
_root.main.attachMovie("boxContect", "boxContect", 1)
bar.useHandCursor = false;
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;
y = dragger._y;
top = main._y;
bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height-space;
dragger.onPress = function() {
drag = true;
this.startDrag(false, this._x, this._parent.y, this._x, this._parent.y+this._parent.bar._height-this._height);
dragger.scrollEase();
};
dragger.onMouseUp = function() {
this.stopDrag();
drag = false;
};
bar.onPress = function() {
drag = true;
if (this._parent._ymouse>this._y+this._height-this._parent.dragger._height) {
this._parent.dragger._y = this._parent._ymouse;
this._parent.dragger._y = this._y+this._height-this._parent.dragger._height;
} else {
this._parent.dragger._y = this._parent._ymouse;
}
dragger.scrollEase();
};
bar.onMouseUp = function() {
drag = false;
};
moveDragger = function (d) {
if ((dragger._y>=y+bar._height-dragger._height && d == 1) || (dragger._y<=y && d == -1)) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
} else {
dragger._y += d;
dragger.scrollEase();
updateAfterEvent();
}
};
up_btn.onPress = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, -1);
};
down_btn.onPress = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, 1);
};
up_btn.onMouseUp = down_btn.onMouseUp=function () {
clearInterval(myInterval);
};
MovieClip.prototype.scrollEase = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Math.abs(dy) == 0 && drag == false) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
r = (this._y-y)/(bar._height-this._height);
dy = Math.round((((top-(top-bottom)*r)-main._y)/speed)*friction);
main._y += dy;
};
};



this was the script so if I try to load some thing dynamicly into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, he doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.

Can someone help me.
thx Kind regards

nobody?

plz help

Here it's working fine, I copied your code and used different "attachments".
Can you post your .fla?

scotty(-:

[flaxcreatures]

ok
but there is a (dynamic) XML file where the data is read...

When I said it worked for me, I just took another mc from the library and changed the linkagename in the code.
Meanwhile I realized maybe you want it dynamically. The problem is then that you have to reset var "bottom". With a button the following worked:)
but.onRelease = function() {//but instancename button
attach("box2");//box2 is the linkage name
};
function attach(targ) {
main.attachMovie(targ, targ, 1);//attach movie
main._y = top;//going back to top
dragger._y = y;//dragger dito
bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height-space;//new bottom value
}

Hope this helps

yes I knew it was something like that ;)
I already tried with onEnterMovie(){
bottom = ...}

but it didn't worked properly

Kind regards and thx for the help

[flaxcreatures]

I don't understand quite right: I don't use a button to attach the mc's but another MC:

btw, have a look at the FLA

here's the action at the middle of the MC:



stop();
function playBegin() {
clearInterval(hold);
play();
}
hold = setInterval(playBegin, 1000);
display.text = "Loading section " + _root.section

function attach(targ) {
_parent.panData.main.attachMovie(targ, targ + i, i);//attach movie
_parent.panData.main._y = top;//going back to top
_parent.panData.dragger._y = y;//dragger dito
_parent.panData.bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height-space;//new bottom value
}

var knopArrayNaam:Array = new Array();
root = _parent.portfolioDataXml.firstChild
if(root.hasChildNodes()){
for( var i = 0; i < root.childNodes.length; i++){

attach("news_btn");

newItem = _parent.panData.main.attachMovie("news_btn", "news_btn" + i, i)
newItem._x = 2
newItem._y = i*36+2
newItem.naam.text = root.childNodes[i].attributes.naam;
desc = root.childNodes[i].attributes.url;

/// knopActies
newItem.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);}
newItem.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(1);}
}
}

but.onRelease = function() {//but instancename button
//box2 is the linkage name
};

The only parameter you need to redefine is bottom.

[flaxcreatures]

good to know but how do I do that with the script that I gave you?
Cause I did what scotty told me but now it doesn't scrolls anymore: weired

I also have a little other probl: once I pressed the scrollbar, it just moves a tiny little bit to the left :s strange

regards

[claudio]

I dont understand your code.
you got a function attach, where you are redefining the bottom parameter, but you never call that function?

[flaxcreatures]

I do call it it's in the for action

"attach("news_btn")"

and if I do this:
_parent.panData.bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height-space;
nothing happens at all

[claudio]

Can i see your fla?

[flaxcreatures]

off coarse :sen:


check here: http://flaxcreatures.acehosts.net/Allerlei/portfolioPrev.fla

ok

[claudio]

Is that mx2004? Cause im on mx.

[scotty]

I'm not so in XML, but in your code you attach two time sa movie, once with the function "attach" and once just below where you call the function.
I'll post my fla as well, then you see it works (w/o xml) :)

scotty(-:

[flaxcreatures]

ok good :d
I'm sure the XML is loaded right ;)

not that I can do XML very well (not at all actually :p)

cu guys

[flaxcreatures]

oh man why do I always make stupid mistakes ?
Can someone tell me? :p

I used:


_parent.panData.bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height.space;



in stead of:



_parent.panData.bottom = _parent.panData.main._y+_parent.panData.mask_mc._h eight-_parent.panData.main._height-_parent.panData.space;

[flaxcreatures]

Could someone give me advice on the next problem?

Now I finally succeded to load the content dyn which makes me extremely happy :p lol but what should I add to the actions if I reload another dyn. content after I moved the scrollbar. I guess he thinks that the MC is larger that normal :s

regards and I hope someone knows the answer ;) (off coarse)
