RE: FLASH: Yo Branden! (another question, sorry, diff topic tho, heh)

THANK YOU!!  :)


I think I might have done something goofy though.  It works except now when

I move the mouse off the slide, the slide stops completely, rather than

continuing in the direction/momentum that it was prior to taking the mouse

off the slider.  Also, when I load up the swf, the slider is stationary

until I do a mouseover, whereas before it had some momentum to it on start

up (even if my mouse was off screen and I loaded via hitting the enter hey

on the swf).


If you could peek at my fla I'd be most grateful.  I'm gonna havta buy you a

six pack for all these questions.  :)  Ever tried a beer called Fat Tire?  I

don't think it's available on the east coast.  :)

Its actually pretty easy to do this... first of all add the following lines

to the code in the first frame of the main movie:


Set Variable: "top" = 225

Set Variable: "bottom" = 175

Set Property ("/slider1", X Position) = GetProperty("/slider2",

_x)-GetProperty("/slider2", _width)

Set Property ("/slider3", X Position) = GetProperty("/slider2",

_x)+GetProperty("/slider2", _width)


Then go into the controller movie clip and change both frames so that all

the code that is there is encapsulated within the following if statement:


If (GetProperty("/draggy", _y)>=/:bottom and GetProperty("/draggy",

_y)<=/:top)

End If


Wala! Thats it! Then just change top and bottom to whatever you want.

Been playing with your NewSlider.fla and was wondering something.  Is there

a way to only have the mouse position affect the

acceleration/movement/direction of the slide while the mouse is actually

OVER the slide image?  So that when you move the mouse off the slide, and

wiggle it all over the place, it doesn't affect the slide's movement in any

way?  But then, of course, when you move the mouse back over the slide again

the mouse's position once again affects the slide?  I'm hoping this can be

done without the use of frames - so that it works completely within the swf.


Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  :D
