hi guys - i queried this a few days ago when all the messages were disappearing into the hole - i've amended my code so it's pretty darn close to what i want but not quite
basically, i'm writing an osx style dock and at the moment, the scaling is working perfectly but the positioning is a bit flaky - it looks like a string of beads on elastic that snap to the previous bead - i've posted an example here http://www.m2surveys.com/homeserve/dock/ the code that governs the size and position is this method private function addIconMouseListeners():Void { var ref:Object = this; for (var i:Number = 0; i < aIconArray.length; i++) { mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].sTitle = aIconArray[i].sTitle; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].sLink = aIconArray[i].sLink; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].nColour = aIconArray[i].nColour; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].ID = i; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].thisX = mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i]._x; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].onMouseMove = function():Void { var thisXmouse = Math.round(this._xmouse); var nIconSpan:Number = Math.round(ref.nIconWidth*5); //this governs the position and is the strange bit var nXPercent:Number = Math.round(thisXmouse/nIconSpan*100)/1.8; // adjusting this by /1.8 has made the icons move along - otherwise they stay static, with only the moused over icon scaling and moving nXPercent = (nXPercent > 45) ? 45 : (nXPercent < -45) ? -45 : nXPercent; this._x = this.thisX - nXPercent; // this governs the scale and works great if (thisXmouse < nIconSpan && -1*thisXmouse < nIconSpan) { var nWidth:Number = ref.nIconWidth + ref.nIconSpacing; var nPercent:Number = Math.round((thisXmouse < 0) ? (thisXmouse/nIconSpan) *-100 : (thisXmouse/nIconSpan) *100); nPercent = 100 - nPercent; if (nPercent > 55) { this._yscale = this._xscale = nPercent; } else { this._yscale = this._xscale = 55; } } else { this._yscale = this._xscale = 55; } }; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].onRollOver = function():Void { this.swapDepths(1000); // not needed after _x is figured out ref.tfTradeTitle.text = this.sTitle; ref.addGlow(this); }; mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].onRollOut = function():Void { ref.removeGlow(this); } mcScrollingIconContainer["clip"+i].onRelease = function():Void { getURL(this.sLink, "_self"); trace("getURL: "+this.sLink); }; } } could anyone make any suggestions as to how i can tighten it up, please? I could really use some help thanks a lot alz _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
