I did something similar awhile back for a site with a diagonal scrollbar. First, I tried the clip rotation and then rotating a container clip to the inverse rotation method. This created some pretty ugly jaggies which were unacceptable.
Second, I did some Flash trickery and created an invisible box above the graphic that would be dragged with no constraint and would indirectly control the x and y of the clip being dragged using some basic math based on its position. That was ok, but it wasn't very smooth because Flash tended to jump twips too much when it was being dragged slowly. Finally, I did some smoke and mirrors by making the graphic as wide as the draggable diagonal and masking its visible area along the diagonal path we wanted it to follow and forced the graphic to drag on a vertical constraint. Looked and performed great. -Steven _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
