Navbar Slider

[Rick]

Hello,

Please view http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ith_slider.htm
to get a look at what I am trying to attempt. But I am modifying it.
My buttons are different sizes, so I am trying to make the slider various sizes(widths) also.
I have created a fla file using the above tutorial. I know my attempt is incorrect, but I was wondering if you could see my fla and point me in the right direction.
The tutorial uses a single symbol as the movie clip. I have created an actual movie clip, which is where I am wrong. I have included the AS as instructed by tutorial.
Thanks.

I downloaded the source file from Kirupa...you need to put this on each respective button...

Code: Select all

on (rollOver) {
 // slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name.
 slider.xMove = button_1._x;
}

All the way through all of your buttons names. Then it will work. You also don't need to have the slider_mc with those motions tweens in it. The action does it automatically.

Cheers,

Scott

Thank you.

The reason I did a tween is because the slider is a different size as it goes to each button. How do I reflect that in the design?
Do I need a MC for each size?or perhaps 1 frame in the same mc and have the frame displayed as it goes to its assigned button?

You can do that in your actionscript...as the AS tells the MC to go to different frames...you can use the "_scale" class to adjust the size...

i.e. slider._scale = 50; //50% the size.

Something like that...

[Rick]

Is there an X-scale class?
The only change to scale is the width.

on (rollOver) {
// slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name.
slider.xMove = button_6._x;
}
on (rollOver) {
slider._xscale = 1;
}

This is the script I have for the first button. The original size of the mc.
Is this correct? I am not very educated on AS, but have found a few tutorials.
thanks.
I have edited this as I am making changes to script.

[Rick]

I think I got it.

Thank you.
