Hi, I have really enjoyed your site and the mastery insights you have on flash CS3 (I can't tell you how many times you saved me from nights of headache and insanity). I especially love the event scroller script. My question is how do I confine the event scroller to a part of the overall page layout. I noticed everything was set with stage.stageheight, If I am working with a larger stage with a designated area for the events (kind of like a section), I can't have the events scrolling through the entire stage. Also can you help explaining some of the codes in this utility? Especially what the relationship between array, container_mc, hit_mc, and stage.stageheight is and how the mechanism works for the events to scroll and react to the mouse? I tried to figure it out myself and not bother you, but my lack of knowledge in these respects has kept me stucked for two days...

Please help!

Hi,
the fact is the scroller has been created to be embed in HTML pages.
If you want load it into another SWF, you must recode almost all.

About the explantion, i will try to write it as soon as i have the time :)

Hello,

I like this scroller.

But i donot want to load thumbnails & not pop ups.

Scroller width = 473 & Height = 256

All my images have same height 256 but widths are all different.

I want the scroller to load direct images.

Can somebody cleanup the code .. i dont know flash.. still i tried loading flash on my pc ... and in main.fla i changed the document size but i dont know how to stop the files from loading thumbs and pop urls...

Thankyou in advance,

Devang.

Hi,

1) Set SWF size to 256 height and width as the bigger of your pictures ( or as you want )

2) Open Main.as and delete this line:

addListeners();

3) Open Caricatore.as and substitute the createThumb function with this new one:

private function createThumb():void
		{
			
			_fla.objects_array[id].w=loader.width;
			_fla.objects_array[id].h=loader.height;
			bitmap_data=new BitmapData(loader.width,loader.height,true,0xFFFFFFFF);
			bitmap_data.draw(loader);
			
			var thumb:Bitmap=new Bitmap(bitmap_data);
			thumb.smoothing=true;
			
			clip=new MovieClip();
			clip.visible=false;
			clip.addChild(thumb);
			
			_fla.container_mc.addChild(clip);
			_fla.pics_array.push(clip);
			
			clip.id=id;
			clip.name='thumb_'+id;
			
			if(id<_fla.objects_array.length-1)
				_fla.loadImages();
			else
				_fla.positionClips();
		}
