Inserting images in a field?

[Zlaxzzor]

Hi guys.

I'm having a custom scrollbar in my presentation and I have one section that
works like a photo gallery. Now, what I wonder is how do I make it possible to
scroll the images? I have got the scrollbar to work at textfields, so I wonder
if there is any way to insert the images into a textfield. If not, then how
should I do? :)

--Make two buttons: upButton and downButton (for example):

--upButton script:
on mousedown me
repeat with allMyScrollableTextAndImages = 1 to 10
--in this example you need to put yoour images and text in the score on the
channels 1 to 10
sprite(allMyScrollableTextAndImages).locV =
sprite(allMyScrollableTextAndImages).locV - 1
end repeat
end

--downButton script:
on mousedown me
repeat with allMyScrollableTextAndImages = 1 to 10
sprite(allMyScrollableTextAndImages).locV =
sprite(allMyScrollableTextAndImages).locV + 1
end repeat
end

Succes

Ok, I think I got the buttons to work. Though now I wonder how to make the area
where the images are to a fixed height and width (so the scroll works)... Like
you could have done if you somehow could insert the images into a text area and
make the height and width of that area fixed like I've done with the texts in
the other sections of the presentation.

Anybody knows how to deal with this problem?

And can someone tell me if this sort of bumping is allowed in these forums? If it isn't, I'm sorry... but I really want to know how to fix this ;)

There are probably many ways to set up a scrolling set of thumnails, but this
is how I might approach it.
You have a text box with the scroolable text, and you want to scrooll small
images with such as I understand it. Beside the text box I would stack my
image sprites so locH would be the same for all and locV would vary by the
image height (or whatever spacing you desired). Then I would cover the screen
with a cutout for the image box, and add the text box and my scroll bar.

Next is the scrolling (incremental locV movement) which you seem to have
already got a handle on, and what is left is to work out the syncronization
between the text and images (probably just a matter of the image locV spacing).
