Scroll Pains!!!

[illustratorman]

I am new to Flash and i'm trying to put together a portfolio site. My problem
is I want to create a scrollpane which contains thumbnail buttons of my work,
but I have no idea how to do this! I don't want to use the scrollpane component
because I want to customize the buttons so that they are invisible and scroll
up or down when the mouse rolls over them. I can make my thumbnail buttons and
the invisible ones but when it come to putting it all together I am clueless.
If someone could help me out I would be most grateful!
Cheers.

There is no reason you couldn't use the ScrollPane component. Just set the
scroll bars to no, drag content to false, and setup your own buttons to move
the content.

How do you set up the action script so your own buttons work?

[James Fee]

for which ever event you want them to work on, just have it do the
following:

var curr_x:Number = [path to my scrollpane].hPosition;
curr_x = curr_x (+/-) [some value];
if (curr_x < 0){
curr_x = 0;
}
[path to my scrollpane].setHPosition(curr_x);



you can do the same type of thing for y/vPosition.
