    How to make.....

    Hi - I don't know what to call it - I have seen what looks like a photograph that has a sliding mask on both sides so as to make the masks slide across the photo showing the length of the photo. What I would like to display is a panoramic jpg photo to appear as a virtual tour. In other words, the masks are still and the photo slides.
    Any ideas? Can we have controls to move left, right, in out??

    Draw a rectangle no border. Use Paintbucket tool to fill with your very wide jpg. Press the + frame tool to create a second frame. Use Transform > Translate Image (or something like that) and translate the image to the other side in the second frame. Adjust the timing between frames.

    Hi - me again.....

    Take a look at http://www.ipc-online.org/dynamic/intro.htm

    Forget everything else on the screen except the far left frame - the picture is in one area and the picture moves, not the area around it. Now if you put that area in the center of the window and do the same thing.....or do the opposite - the picture stays still but the area around it moves left or right to show other parts of the wide photo.

    I don't know how else to explain this.

    Mike

    Hi Necro.. That's nice man. Now,, let's tap into your superior brain power (Flattery can always help a little lol)and take it a stage further,, how about if you could action script something like mouse button down and move the pointer up the screen and it will zoom into the picture and also mouse button down and move the pointer down the screen so it will zoom out of the picture or even just left button down = zoom in and right button down = zoom out. Or am I asking the impossible again lol. Cheers

    Hi William,
    For Zoom In/Out you have controll the "mc1" X and Y scale.
    Set for the main timeline this instruction:
    zoom = 100;
    Let's take (for example) two buttons to deal with that:
    For the UP button:
    on(press){
    zoom += 10;
    mc1._xscale = zoom;
    mc1._yscale = zoom;
    }

    For the DOWN button:
    on(press){
    if(zoom > 0){
    zoom -= 10;
    mc1._xscale = zoom;
    mc1._yscale = zoom;
    }
    }


    Meanwhile, I have something (final) for MIKE:

    cheers
