Looks good, similar to a class I developed called MousePositionPanel.

I did notice however on the example where you click arrows to move left/right that when moving using the right arrow all the way to the end on the last image there is a bit of a glitch where it moves back but then realizes that its the last images and moves back into position. might want to take a look at that. nice work, nonetheless.

I’ve got some problems with the class. For example when instead of BitmapData i try to add movie clips it becomes real mess…

I tried with a couple of MovieClip-s with about 5px between them and vertical scroling:

import noponies.scrollingpanel.events.NpScrollingPanelEvent;
import noponies.scrollingpanel.ui.NpScrollingPanel;
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import caurina.transitions.properties.TextShortcuts;

TextShortcuts.init();

var navig:NpScrollingPanel = new NpScrollingPanel(”vertical”);
navig.resizePanelMaskToStage = false;
navig.panelMaskWidth = 200;
navig.panelMaskHeight = 200;
navig.x =45 ;
navig.y =205 ;
navig.mouseScrolling = true;
navig.panelBgColour = 0xFFCCFF;
navig.scrollSpeed = 30;
navig.contentButtonMode = true;
navig.panelBgAlpha = 0;

addChild(navig);
navig.addContentItem(page1);
navig.addContentItem(page2);
navig.addContentItem(page3);
navig.addContentItem(page4);
navig.addContentItem(page5);
navig.enableScrolling();

Here is some code. The problem is that the movie clips differ each other a lot. If between then there was 5 px for example, after adding them to the panel they got 50-60 pixels between then. Tried to adjuts it with
adjustPadding and 10 px, but got the error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at noponies.scrollingpanel.ui::NpScrollingPanel/adjustPadding()

Hi;

Here is the fla:

http://burnandbass.com/experiments/exp-np-panel.fla

Just want the movie clips to stay like if they’re on the screen.

Btw while experimenting with your classes I did the effect of http://www.selftitled.ca/ , but only If I use images (not movie clips or text)

I have downloaded the pack, and run the .swf file, but when i test move, i get the exception errors saying something like “failed to load XML file” and on one occasion “Failed to laod CSS file”

I am running Adobe CS3 with AS3.. any ideas what may be wrong?

Hey Dale, great class btw!

Question…do you have a parameter that I can modify to adjust the easing when you roll out of the edges that will slide the content a bit smoother or longer. Check this example to see what I mean:

http://www.endcommunications.com/

When you move the mouse outside of the left and right edges the content doesn’t just stop, it eases to a stop. I sort of see what you have going on in the NpScrollingPanel.as file but wanted to check with you for some insight before trying to move forward.

Thanks!
Brian

I did actually. If I slow it down it slows the edge scrolling too much. Basically I would like to figure out a way when the user mouses out of the ‘hot zones’ on the edges that the sliding can ease more like the above example. thoughts?

thanks!
Brian

I uploaded a sample file i created; http://edwardschopler.com/pp3d/ to illustrate what I posted. also I’m using your full browser resize class too thank you so much for your work, I’ve enjoyed reading your posts!

Hi Dale,
Your class seems to be very good. Exactly what I wanted to do. However, what I already have developed is loading many animations in like a grid. I do that by using the flash.display.Loader to load the swf files in a flash.diaply.Sprite.
I’m wondering if it is possible to just create a new instance of your scrollbar and i want to do exactly those button click and it scrolls.
I tried to play around with ur example class and modified the createNewBitContent() .. I wondered if I coudl just pass in the Sprite into the libScroller2.addContentItem but it doesn’t work. So I tried the following as well…

function createNewBitContent():void {

//var example:Sprite = new Sprite(); (wondering if I can just put the Sprite in)
var thumb:String = “as3-speedracer.swf”;
var laoder:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thumb);
loader.load(request);
//example.addChild(example);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
addChild(loader);

// }
//enable scrolling once the content has loaded

}

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
libScroller2.addContentItem(event.currentTarget.loader.content);
libScroller2.enableScrolling();
}

But this throws me an excetpion
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I’m a beginner in AS3, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey!
Great class.
Thank you so much for doing this. I’m a design student and you make the life of people like me so much easier, because I’m not a programmer primarily and this helps so much to spend as few time as possible on programming.

But I’ve come up to a problem:
I created a custom class to throw an xml file at and let it create an npScrollingPanel automaticly. It all works fine, but then I tried to modify the mask size at runtime – yes, I turned scaling to stage off – and I simply doesn’t work.

I wanted to have a stage resize listener to resize the mask, so I can have a margin at the left and right of the Panel to the borders of the browser window.

Or is there some kind of “refresh” function I have to fire so it changes the mask?

Thanks for help in advance … and thanks again for your work!

I’ve got the horizontal scroller setup using movie clips, but i can’t for the life of me figure out a way to use more than two movie clips. Any help would be sweet

i’ve got this some far.

function createNewPanel():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i< 2; i++) {
var n:int=i%2;
if (n==0) {
var secondPData:secondP = new secondP;
libraryItem = new secondP;
} else {
var firstPData:firstP = new firstP;
libraryItem = new firstP;
}
libScroller.addContentItem(libraryItem);
}
//enable scrolling once the content has loaded
libScroller.enableScrolling();
}

Even after changing the loop number; it will load three movie clips, two of which are the same.

firstP
secondP
secondP

I just can’t figure out where to add a third ‘var’ ?

Yeah three would be sweet!

@NEIL
I have created unlimited Scrolling Panels using Arrays…you can check my code in my previous post

another piece of info is that I am getting the error from the Accordian’s LoadXml.as not the Panel’s LoadXml.as….which is strange to me because the accordian is loading the swf…..Just not the scrolling panel on the swf…
