AS3 Image Scroller

I need to make a *LIGHTWEIGHT* horozontal image scoller. It will have a left and right arrow so users can go through the images. If I can just get this part working, I can add the other features later like making the images clickable. I just need somewhere to start. Also, this must import the image list dynamically (XML? PHP Vars?). I can format the list in any format.

This is what I'm trying to reproduce.. in Flash AS3. The scroller on this page is written with about 45kb of javascript which I find ridiculous.

this "gallery" your creating it split up into 2 parts, xml data, and scroll bar.

you will have to complete each part seperately.

you then need to replace the textfield in the tut with a movieclip.


now your algebraic skills will be strained. you have to use a mask to only show the part of the movielip you want to appear, and you have to modify the scrollbar to move the MC up or down.

i strongly suggest that you go though each tutorial and figure the rest out for yourself.
dont worry, its not impossible to figure it out. and if your AC3 skills are a bit rusty, then this little subproject will be a perfect way for your to get some practice.

after i spent most of a day dissecting different ways of doing it.

good luck, flos
