Mike, I've used the built in scrollPane and UIScrollBars a few times, but found fairly easy to use, but exceedingly complicated to customize. If you don't mind the default look of the ScrollPane I'd suggest using. Though bare in mind they can add considerable file size to your swf.
I'd suggest creating movieclip that loads all your images, and then another one that loads that under a masked layer. Use another set of movieclips/buttons to move the thumbnail clip around under the mask. Hope that helps! -Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Dunlop Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 1:43 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] loading thumbnails into a scrollable box via AS Hi folks, This is my first go at something like this in flash. I need to, write some actionscript that will read in (from an xml file) a collection of thumbnails. I need to basically have these thumbnails show up in a scrollable pane all spaced evenly. I've seen this done on many flash sites so i know it's too crazy. I know how to load images into a mc (.loadclip()) but i am just not sure about the scrollable box...Would i use a scrollbox component for this? Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance! Best, Mike D .......................
