I have a very tall Flash application that I will be using as part of a Help Desk application .

The document is 1500 pixels tall. There is a little "control panel" on the right hand side of the screen that always needs to stay on screen , no matter how far down you scroll. The scroll panel is 510 pixels tall, and the registration point is toward the top/middle.

I have the code set so that now, if the mouse gets too far away from the panel, the control panel will travel down (or up) to find the mouse y position. But its a little choppy and sometimes you have to move the mouse to the extreme top or bottom of the screen to get it to position itself properly.

code:


_root.multiplier=60;

_root.pccount=103;

_root.dragmode=false;



function movepane(){



	panely=_root.controlpanel._y

	mousey=_root._ymouse;

	if (mousey>panely+400){

		_root.controlpanel._y=_root.controlpanel._y+multip  lier;

		multiplier= multiplier*0.99;

		

	}else if (mousey<panely-100){

		_root.controlpanel._y=_root.controlpanel._y-multiplier;

		multiplier= multiplier*0.99;

	}else{

		multiplier=60;

	}//end if mousey

	



}



Here is the link: try it out.
