[RESOLVED] Another AK Gallery Question

[etuom]

In using Necro's AK Gallery, I have resized the movie to 700 wide and placed a 300 wide mask over the thumbs to only show 3 of the thumb images. I would like to have the scroll action only active while the mouse is inside the mask rather than the whole thumbnail strip. I've seen the examples that use the stroke and panel code (as in the sliding panel example from the exchange) but have no idea how this might be done with the AK Gallery.

Necro or anyone?

Just follow these steps:
- draw a rectangle (300x124), use the black color with alpha=100 (invisible).
- convert the rectangle into a movieclip and rename it (msk).
- edit this movieclip, use transforms and move the rectangle to X=0, Y=0
- place this msk movieclip in the proper position on your stage.
- modify the timeline actionscript in this way

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if(msk.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse,true)){
		thmbs._x += (msk._width/2 - _xmouse + msk._x)/40;
		if (thmbs._x > msk._x ){
			thmbs._x = msk._x;
		}else if (thmbs._x < (msk._x + msk._width - thmbs._width)){
			thmbs._x = msk._x + msk._width - thmbs._width;
		}
	}
...
...
...

That's all.

cheers

Thanks Necro! Works exactly how I need.

For anyone interested here is a link to my working example of Necro's superb AK Gallery resized, with a mask, and without info and gallery boxes. Uses sample pics from Windows. When I first uploaded it it took awhile to load in the browser, so if anyone has any problems viewing it please let me know.

I guess I jumped the gun a bit, I'll update when ready

Here it is. still having browser problems. Have to hit refresh after the page loads and then the Gallery shows up. Any ideas?

It works perfect from here.
