scroller problems

[Bogis]

yeah I'm have a problem with the scripting of this button this is the code I put in

on (press){
startDrag("_root.scroll_box.bar",true, 186.6, 0, 186.6, 104.3);
}

now the problem is that when I click the button to scroll down it will move , but as soon as I click it seem to lock on the mouse so when i move the mouse without clicking on the scroller it move but only up and down not sideways .So I know It needs something else to tell the button to move only when I tell it to or click on it. if some can help me out. Oh by the way it's on flash 8 and the code is like from flash 6 so that migh be the problem . if anyone can help thanks i advance.

Hi,

It sounds as though you just need to add a stopDrag command on a release event...

on(release){
stopDrag();
}

The second startDrag parameter is what locks the object to the mouse if set to true....

startDrag parameters...

target:Object - The target path of the movie clip to drag.

lock:Boolean [optional] - A Boolean value specifying whether the draggable movie clip is locked to the center of the mouse position (true ) or locked to the point where the user first clicked the movie clip (false ).

left,top,right,bottom:Number [optional] - Values relative to the coordinates of the movie clip's parent that specify a constraint rectangle for the movie clip.

Hi,

The parameters at the bottom of my post are for the startDrag method....

startDrag(target,lock,left,top,right,bottom);

startDrag("_root.scroll_box.bar",true, 186.6, 0, 186.6, 104.3);
