Flash Image Scroller (Horizontal)

[denzel2364]

Hey people,

such a simple problem causing me loads of grief!!

How do i make a simple horizantal scroller displaying a series of images. like here :www.tomkandesign.com

I hope it can be dynamic but i dont think that is possible. Can you edit the scroller aswell?

Please help

1.) You can use the SCROLL PANE component in Flash
2.) I believe it can be dynamic, set up your movieClip loader or loadMovie call to lad into the scrollPane component...
3.) You can skin the components, but its a PITA... but there are tuts on how to accomplish it.

otherwise you are only allowed to STYLE it easily, (which doesnt let you do everything)

Have you got a tutorial for using the scrollpane?

Ive figured out the usage of a scrollpane. How do i dynamically load from a folder that contains images and stop when its all loaded?

well,- it seems you are a newby but want to create something rather advanced. If dynamic loading is to difficult for you why not just placing them inside flash without the need of preloading?

For preloading you´d first need some data that describes wich images need to be loaded like an array or a xml file, wich could look like this:

files = new Array("folder/a.jpg","folder/b.jpg","folder/c.jpg");
for (var i=1;i<=files.length;i++){
    container.createEmptyMovieClip("subContainer"+i,i);//create sub- movieClip in Container MC on the stage
    container["subContainer"+i]._x = (i-1)*64;//arrange them in 64 pixel distances
    container["subContainer"+i].loadMovie(files[i-1]);//load the image
}
