Putting buttons in a ScrollPane

[zieben73]

I have a slight problem: I am trying to put a series of buttons (alot of them) into a scrollpane, but when I put them in, they not only don't act as buttons (with the up, over, and down frames), but they also don't follow their ActionScript (which is, by the way, to load a picture into an empty movie clip).

Is this not supposed to be done, or is there just a small option that makes the buttons work?

Thanks in advance...

Is this a MX(AS1.0) scrollpane or a MX2004(AS2.0) one?

Well, I'm using Flash 8, and in the left side of the actions window, it says "ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0".

 

[zieben73]

wait, I'm definitely using ActionScript 2.0

Can you provide a link to your .fla?

yeah sure:

but theres actually a new problem: the buttons work as buttons, and change color when I hover over them, but I don't know where to put the code that makes the buttons load the external images. Now that you have the .fla, I guess you'll be able to find the thing I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Transfer all your code within the scrollstuff mc's timeline itself.

thumb1.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic1.jpg");
};
thumb2.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic2.jpg");
};
thumb3.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic3.jpg");
};
thumb4.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic4.jpg");
};
thumb5.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic5.jpg");
};
thumb6.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic6.jpg");
};
thumb7.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic7.jpg");
};
thumb8.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic8.jpg");
};
thumb9.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic9.jpg");
};
thumb10.onRelease = function() {
infoField._visible = true;
startLoading("pic10.jpg");
};
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "viewer");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = viewer.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = viewer.getBytesTotal();
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
infoField.text = percentage+"%";
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
infoField._visible = false;
}
};
}




I'm pretty sure the code works fine, because when i take one of the buttons out of the scrollPane and put it on the regular part (like where the image viewer is) that button works.

thanks

I didn't say your code is wrong, it's just in the wrong place...
Take it off the main timeline, and transfert it all on it's own layer within the scrollstuff mc...

I just did that, and it works fine.

wow, i suck at this; when I do that, none of the scroll content in the scrollstuff mc appears in the scrollPane.
