1. Re: How do you scroll box images and text?
Ned Murphy Jan 25, 2010 5:02 PM (in response to SEspider)The easiest solution for you would be to use a ScrollPane component. You can just place you images into a movieclip, give that movieclip a Linkage ID in the library, and define that ID for the ScrollPane's contentPath property.

2. Re: How do you scroll box images and text?
SEspider Jan 25, 2010 5:13 PM (in response to Ned Murphy)I search EVERYWHERE for help and got none. I post here and continue searching. I then run across this site and it does the trick:
http://www.developingwebs.net/flash/mx_scrollingtextboxes.php
There is just one little problem. I also need to place buttons in the scroll box along with the images.
The idea is that you click the thumbnail images (held within the scrollbox) and up top the large view pops in (Directs to a keyframe).I place the buttons into a Movie Clip but the Scroll Path refuses to acknowledge the movie clicp. Instead it looks for something on my C drive. I've tried saving the Buttons as a stand alone SWF, and they do show up in the main SWF file's scroll box, but they don't do anything.
PS: Thanks for the help and quick responce.

Ned Murphy Jan 25, 2010 5:25 PM (in response to SEspider)I'm not sure if you're complaining that what I offered didn't help, but it appears to be the same info you're poointing in your link. If you want to command the main timeline, you probably want to use _root to target it from inside the movieclip in the scrollpane, as in _root.gotoAndPlay(someframe);

SEspider Jan 26, 2010 11:06 AM (in response to Ned Murphy)What you posted did work. But it doesn't work with everything needed. The Buttons (BTNs) I need in the scroll box do not work with the same method.
I've tried the _root. but they are still not working as they do outside the movieclip.
I'm only using one Scene and four frames total. I tried something else however (Just came to me) that does work.
I created a sperate Flash file consisting of only the thumbnail buttons. Saved said new Buttons file as a SWF, and then I used the Scroll Path to located it and place it into my original Gallery File's Scroll box. So long this new 'Buttons SWF's' buttons have the _root. in the code, they work within the Scroll box.
It's irritating having to create the buttons seprate from the main file, but at least it works. Just wish I ould understand why the same action script in the same buttons don't work within a movie clip.
Your feedback helped solve the problem, but not fully. Thanks for your help.

SEspider Jan 26, 2010 11:07 AM (in response to SEspider)The feedback helped solve half the issue. But I managed to find a way around the other half of the problem.
