	Re: vertical scroll by Pieter Helsen on Jul 23, 2008 at 7:46:58 pm Change _x for _y and _width for _height...?

	Re: vertical scroll by Pieter Helsen on Jul 23, 2008 at 8:03:31 pm container.onEnterFrame = function() { if (scrolling) { this._y += Math.cos((-_root._ymouse/Stage.height)Math.PI)15; if (this._y>0) { this._y = 0; } if (-this._y>(this._height-Stage.height)) { this._y = -(this._height-Stage.height); } } }; Clearly you missed on. It works for me.

	Re: vertical scroll by bogdan Oancea on Jul 23, 2008 at 8:51:25 pm yeah it's true, my fault but i still get a little "bug". I have 4 buttons, and i want them to be one unde another. the problem is that the first 3 are one under another, but the last one is at about 20px away from the last button. and i want to make the button to redirect the user that clickes it to another page. not like in the tutorial make the picure on the hole page.

Are all your thumbnails equally sized?


scrolling = false;

_root.attachMovie("image"+this.largerImage,"large_mc",2);

		large_mc._x = (Stage.width-large_mc._width)/2;

		large_mc._y = (Stage.height-large_mc._height)/2;

		new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 0.5, true);

		new Tween(container, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 50, 0.5, true);

		large_mc.onRelease = function() {

			this.enabled=false;

			scrolling = true;

			var myFadeOut = new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 0.5, true);

			new Tween(container, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 50, 100, 0.5, true);

			myFadeOut.onMotionFinished = function() {

				for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {

					var myClip = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];

					myClip.enabled = true;

				}

				large_mc.removeMovieClip();

			};

		};

This is the part that makes the button bigger.
Replace that with a getURL command to go to another page.

Kind regards,
Pieter

	Re: vertical scroll by bogdan Oancea on Jul 24, 2008 at 11:19:15 am it doesn't work.... the getURL. I mean it only works for the last picture. here is the code: this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1); var imagesNumber:Number = 9; for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) { container.attachMovie("thumb"+i,"thumb"+i+"_mc",i); myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"]; myThumb_mc._y = (i-1)myThumb_mc._width; myThumb_mc._x = (Stage.height-myThumb_mc._height)/2 } container.onEnterFrame = function() { this._y += Math.cos((-_root._ymouse/Stage.height)Math.PI)*15; if (this._y>0) { this._y = 0; } if (-this._y>(this._height-Stage.height)) { this._y = -(this._height-Stage.height); } }; myThumb4_mc.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http://www.tutorial5.com/", "_blank"); } myThumb_mc.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank"); } so if i leav it to "myThumb_mc" it works for the last picture only but if i try to add "myThumb2_mc" for exemple it does'n work... why??

Add what's in bold


this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1); 



var imagesNumber:Number = 9;

var urlArray:Array = new Array("http://www.tutorial5.com", "http://www.google.com");


myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];

// This adds a variable to the movieclip. 

// That variable (_url) contains the URL from the array above. 

myThumb_mc._url = urlArray[i];

myThumb_mc._y = (i-1)*myThumb_mc._width; 

myThumb_mc._x = (Stage.height-myThumb_mc._height)/2

Now add a getURL that takes that _url variable


myThumb_mc.onRelease=function(){ 

getURL(this._url, "_blank"); 

}

Kind regards,
Pieter

//Paste this code at the top of your existing code to be able to use the Tween Class



import mx.transitions.Tween;

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);



var imagesNumber:Number = 10;

var urlArray:Array = new Array("", "http://www.firstPage.com", "http://www.secondPage.com", "http://www.andSoOn.com");



for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {

	myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];

	// This adds a variable to the movieclip.



	// That variable (_url) contains the URL from the array above.

	myThumb_mc._link = urlArray[i];

	myThumb_mc._y = (i-1)*myThumb_mc._height;

	myThumb_mc._x = (Stage.width-myThumb_mc._width)/2;

	myThumb_mc.onRelease = function() {

	Re: vertical scroll by bogdan Oancea on Jul 25, 2008 at 12:11:00 am and "var urlArray:Array = new Array("", "http://www.firstPage.com", "http://www.secondPage.com", "http://www.andSoOn.com");" i put the url in the order of the buttons, i mean if the first button is home, i put in new Array "home.html first right, and so on.. if contact is the 4-th i put the contact.html the 4-th??

	Re: vertical scroll by Pieter Helsen on Jul 25, 2008 at 12:32:29 am Well, I learned most of it by doing, reading tutorials and browsing forums. There are a few good books though. Essential Actionscript 3 is one of them. (I have the one for AS2 though :)) As far as PHP goes, it's a pretty easy language with an awesome help website. (www.php.net) Getting the hang of PHP shouldn't be too hard.

	Re: vertical scroll by Pieter Helsen on Jul 25, 2008 at 1:15:15 am Arrays start counting at 0, your for loop starts counting at 1, that's why I put an empty value as the first value of the array. new Array("", "index.html", "image.gif", ...); Kind regards, Pieter General notice: from now on, I would like to ask everyone to put [AS2] or [AS3] (corresponding to the version of actionscript you are using on your project) in front of their post titles when the question is actionscript related!
