Help changing Scroll Menu Values

[bmcc81]

Hi,

I've got this scroll menu system in my web site. I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand understanding why I can't get my scrollMenu to start and stop at these coordinates, which you can see here:



if (this._x>= -600)
{
this._x = -1500;
}

if (this._x<= -1501)
{
this._x = -601;
}

What I want to have is 10 Icons scrolling, but if they don't totally got off screen it looks like they skip. Does anuyone have any ideas?

Thanks In Advance

Post the flash file so I can view this in action please? Is this based on mousemovement or just a standard scroll moving 1 direction? Does it change directions?

Thanks for the reply,

This is based on mouseMouvement. It changes both directions. If you really wanna check it out. Go there:

You'll have to add the music folder to preview stuff, which is here:

Just place the music folder in the that has the main file ( dock20 bmcc 3 mask.fla )

The scrollMenu.as file is a little different in the attachement I sent. I think that oine is a little closer to being corrrect.

Thanks a bunch dude

I just finished building something like this, it was just a matter of me adjusting the values to get it where I wanted it. I'll take a look at it though. :-)

Does your code look something like this? ( I am downloading them right now)

Code: Select all

mouseX = _xmouse; 
menuX = menu._x; 
  
if (mouseX > 430) { 
  diff = (mouseX-430)/30; 
} 
if (mouseX < 370) { 
  diff = (370-mouseX)/30; 
} 
if (mouseX <= 400 && menuX <= 1200) { 
  setProperty("menu", _x, menuX+diff); 
} 
if (mouseX >= 400 && menuX >= -40) { 
  setProperty("menu", _x, menuX-diff); 
} 
if (menu._x >= 275) { 
  menu._x = 275; 
} else if (menu._x <= -40) { 
  menu._x = -40;  
}
 
gotoAndPlay(2);

Thanks for the quick response,

This is actually what I had used:


//--------------------------------------------------------//
//--------------------------------------------------------//
// FUNCTION TO MAKE THE MP3 MENU SCROLL ------------------//
//--------------------------------------------------------//

Code: Select all

 
 
function mover()
{
 if(_ymouse > 250 && _ymouse < 365)  
 {
  var xdist = _xmouse - Stage.width/2;
  this._x -= xdist / 15;
 }
 else 
 {
  if(_xmouse > centerX - 250)
  {
   this._x -= speed;
  }
  else
  {
   this._x += speed;
  }
 }
 if (this._x>=  -200) 
 {
  this._x =  -1325;
 
 } else {
 
 if (this._x<=  -1325)
 {
    this._x =  -201;
 }
}

I'm going to try and implement what you have gaven me. See if I can get her going with this. But if you still have any siggestions I'd be more then happy to hear them.

Thanks,

Ah I see what you are saying now. Let me take a look at it. :-)

Hey I was wondering if its possible to add a nested loop to this function?

Something like:

Code: Select all

//------nested loops-------
//outer loop
for (i=0; i<2; i++){
        trace("outerloop");
        //inner loop
        for(j=0; j<2; j++){
                trace("innerloop");
        }
}  

How would I add it to here.

Code: Select all

if(_ymouse > 250 && _ymouse < 365)  
 {
  var xdist = _xmouse - Stage.width/2;
  this._x -= xdist / 15;
 }
 else 
 {
  if(_xmouse > centerX - 250)
  {
   this._x -= speed;
  }
  else
  {
   this._x += speed;
  }
 }
 if (this._x>= move.loop -100) 
 {
  this._x = move.loop -225;
  
 } else {
  
 if (this._x<= move.loop -226)
 {
    this._x = move.loop -101;
 }
}

I'm trying to get her to loop now

Would I just be using:
for (i=0; i<2; i++)

Would that be a good idea cause I'm trying it out and not getting much.

Just like to know if I'm on the right path

Thanks
