[FMX] Help with scroller script

[FLyons]

This scroller doesn't scroll all the way, it has something to do with the script. The scroller shows about half of the images. I'm a newbie action script coder, I'm just not getting why the script is messed up. I got the script from some flash scroller sample [actionscript-toolbox.com]. If anyone could take a look at the RESIDENTIAL link [members.rogers.com/flyons] and tell me what i'm doing wrong it would be appreciated.
PS. I can email the fla file (it's too large to attach).

Thanks

Hi

I'm a newbie to but i got something you could try. Have you made sure that the x dimensions of your image scroller have been added to the distance?


onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-300;
if (_x < -300) _x=0;
}

So if your movie clip is 600 px wide, change 300 to 600?

If you've already done that then i'm not sure whats wrong :thumb:

Hi AFXTWN, I did that, perhaps I'm not doing it right...
Here is the code that i'm using:
onClipEvent (load) {
nScreenWidth = 689; //dimension of screen
nMaxSpeed=15;
function moveLeft(nPixels){
this._x -= nPixels;
if(this._x <0-nScreenWidth){
this._x=0;
}
}
function moveRight(nPixels){
this._x += nPixels;
if(this._x > 0){
this._x = 0-nScreenWidth;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_root._xmouse < nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse >0){
moveRight(nMaxSpeed - _root._xmouse*nMaxSpeed/(nScreenWidth/2));
}else{
if(_root._xmouse > nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse < nScreenWidth){
moveLeft(_root._xmouse*nMaxSpeed/(nScreenWidth/2)-nMaxSpeed);
}
}
}

Where in this code do I state the length of the scroll image (1360px long)?

This script is different from the one i'm looking at, but have you tried changing the nScreenWidth number?

Have a look at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm <-- i think thats an easier way of doing what you want to do.

Yeah, I like this new scroller, I'll try to modify mine to use this code...thanks

Thanks AFXTWN, the new code works beautifully!

Glad to help :pleased:

I recommend having a look at each of the tutorials on the kirupa site, they are all awesome, and if theres anything you wanna do, chances are you can learn it from one of the tut's!
