scrolling nav bar

[mnoyes]

I followed this tute to a T, but my mc still does not respond to the buttons I made or the scripting. PLEASE HELP - it is the core of the flash site I am working on...

http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/relative_scrolling/rel_scrol_1.shtml

Basically, I am trying to create a scrolling portfolio that goes forwards and backwards when buttons are rolled over... It is killing me that I can't get this to work. I can email the FLA file with the mc and buttons - to big to post though

Thanks
Meredith

actually I have tired that same tut before in the past and I was unable to get it to work as well.

really? So you never figured it out? I swear I've done it over 10 times and it doesn't work

Anyone have any suggestions?

u simply just didn/t give the MC the name u call it with AS (bar), also try not to use the flash 4 code//here is a modifing code for the _root script
stop ();
bar.target = 1;
bar.direction = "b";
function director () {
if (_root.bar.target<_root.bar.current) {
_root.bar.direction = "b";
} else if (_root.bar.target>_root.bar.current) {
_root.bar.direction = "f";
} else if (_root.bar.target == _root.bar.current) {
_root.bar.direction = "null";
}
goto = (String(_root.bar.direction+_root.bar.current));
_root.bar.gotoAndPlay(goto);
}

This worked great - I knew it was something so simple and I would kick myself when I found out.

Thank you!

[mnoyes]

ok - so it worked great in its own frame, but when I put it into my site, the buttons only work half the time....

here is the link for the fla

http://dsabuilders.com/dsabuilders.fla

click on the portfolio button and then on kitchens. I still have lots of kinks in it and its only in beginning stages, but I want toy nail this componant before continuing

Click the buttons on the right - the kitchen buttons. See, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Why is this?

Thanks
