How do you scroll around within your SWF window?

My Flash document will be 620(w) x 415(h) but I'm going to
have a background (Photoshop) image that's larger (say twice as
big). I want to be able to move the cursor to the edges of the
Flash frame and have the background image scroll in that direction.
I'm also going to have image maps (hot spots) that can be clicked
on to pull up additional info. So, my questions:
1. How do I make the image scrollable?
2. If my Photoshop image is larger than my Flash document
size, can I still create clickable areas that fall outside the
document?
3. Will the hot spots scroll with the image?
4. Since I have limited experience with ActionScript...am I
in over my head?
Note: I've already imported the (larger) background image
onto the stage, converted it to a movie clip symbol, gave it an
instance name of mcMyMovie, and placed hot spots in various areas,
then I placed it on the 1st frame of my main scene.

well, a very easy way is to make it, for example, is to
create 4 boxes (or 8 for the corners) with alpha so they are not
visible on every side of the visible stage. then you can use some
event-handler to change the x and y values of your photoshop
picture when you move the mouse over the boxes.

  • [iPhone] How are you implementing email within your apps?

    Hi,
    I want to implement an email feature within my Voice Changer app but I am not sure where to start. Are you passing an attachment through to the integrated emailing app or do you have to write your own smtp client?
    Thanks for any help

  • How can I scroll around an image if its zoomed out?

    Hey guys, quick one for you.
    I have no problem using the hand tool/spacebar to scroll around an image when zoomed into it, but as soon as I can see the whole thing I can't scroll around anymore and its just locked to the center
    I am a After Effects user so I find this a bit annoying that I can't do this, so I figure there MUST be a setting somewhere I could change to enable it.
    Thanks!

    Sorry but "How can I scroll around an image if its zoomed out?" has got to be one of the stupidest question I've heard on this forum in some time. Brandon really needs to think before posting.
    I've noticed your usual vitriol toward people having simple questions has ramped up about 200% since the advent of Jive, Buko. Maybe you need to disengage, or neck some holy fermented blue agave juice and take a nap?
    I see the question as perfectly cromulent, and I use the suggestion I've given quite often. Apparently, a good reason why anyone would want to do that has escaped you, and it's made you even crankier than usual. So you react by giving the gift of vile condescension instead of just ShuttingTFU and letting someone else handle it. (Next time you blast Ramon for the same thing, take a look at your own behavior). And apparently, it's not enough for you to just accept that the way someone else wants to work is different than your workdflow, or is something that never even occurred to you. Maybe some folks just want an answer to their question, and secretly wish you'd shove your bad attitude up your [asterisk-substituted name for your lower-dorsal body opening]. Of course, some folks are just too polite, or they're new visitors here and won't say that to you because they don't know the legacy players and behaviors here. But I'm not either of those things, and I will. Because if you can dish it out, surely you can take it, right? RIGHT!?!?
    Now...why do I think the question is worth answering? Sometimes I want to be able to have an entire smallish image visible at 100% magnification in order to view it as it will appear in its final destination. AND I want to do some work on it while keeping all my currently-open Palettes visible; maybe I want to move my image out of the way of a big dialogue box I've called up. (I'm only working on one monitor...sorry if that makes your hardened jaw drop down to your chest).
    In Single-Window made mode I'd have to grab and move the whole window, but I can't do that if I have a big dialogue window open. In full screen mode I can scroll around and see all parts of that image at 100% without having to Tab my palettes to their hidden state, or shove my open dialogue nearly off-screen.
    Think past your own nose, Dude! And LightenTFUp!

  • Hi, I have just purchased a ipad mini for my wife and have registered it in my name so that i can add some apps that i think she would appreciate. However if i want to contact her using face time it is registered in my name, how do you get around that?

    Hi I have just purchased an i pad for my wife and have registered it in my name to add some apps prior to giving the i pad to her. However, for using face time and games where you can link via wifi it will look as though there are two of the same, if I am trying to link her ipad to mine. How do you get around this?

    how to add a scroll bar within a view window ?I want to display x and y axis outside the scoll window and keep those axis static and move the graph within scroll area
    ananya

    Hey Ananya,
    I believe what you want to do is possible, but it will not be
    easy.  If you want to add a scroll bar that will scroll the graph
    back and forth but keep the axis set, you would want to add a
    horizontal or vertical scrollbar.  Then you would create an event
    handler for the scroll event.  You would have to manually plot
    different data within this scroll event.  Unfortunately, there is
    not really a built in way to do this with the Measurement Studio plot
    control.

  • How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

    his chapter on Mini Bridge where he talks about organizing your photos getting rid of some and making a folder or file sorry not certain of the terminology under Collections in mini bridge to acess your "keepers" perse.
    Not familiar with this book but if Scott is talking about using mini bridge for sorting images he is way out of line. Mini Bridge (to my opinion next to useless since they screwed it up for CS6 but that is another discussion) should be seen as a shortcut to Bridge itself when working in Photoshop on complex tasks of image or album compilation and prevent you from switching back and forward between the two applications while working on a project.
    Unfortunately some people thought that it might be useful to add more functions to it and now users start believing they don't need bridge itself for this.
    Please use Bridge itself for sorting etc and also try to get hold of a copy of 'Real World Camera Raw' written by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. They have an edition for about all CS versions and this book will let you know how to really use the power of Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw

  • How do you download data from your macbook to the ipad?

    how do you transfer data from your macbook to the ipad?

    What data do you want to transfer ? Music, films, tv shows, photos and ibooks are done by syncing in iTunes (for which there is some help in the iPad manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad). Documents can also be done via iTunes, but it depends upon the app and the transfer method(s) that it supports e.g. file sharing via the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, cloud services, email attachments etc
    Edit : have you got the Keynote app on your iPad, or any other app that supports keynote presentations ? Without a 'suporting' app you can't store a document/file on the iPad (unlike computers files have to be stored within an app)..

    Ok...when I am saying your fourth tab I am referring to the tabs that show when you click on your iPod name is the left panel in iTunes...you will see the summary page in the larger screen to the right. IT is the 4th tab within that summary screen. The list for the kind of iPod you have can be found by going to Ipod Family.

    I appreciate the replies about needing to setup a credit card for agreeing to pay for purchases and letting someone else be the Family Organizer.  The purpose of my question is to know if there is a way around apples requirement to have a valid payment method on file...we have money in our apple account (use iTunes gift cards) and I do not want to store my CC info at apple.  It seems like very odd that money in your account would not be enough to setup Family Sharing.
    Very frustrating and just about ready to get rid of all the 15 apple products we currently have.
    Khuerter,
    Having a credit card when you set up as Family Organizer is a legal requirement to prove that you are taking financial responsibility for the others on the account.  As Gail noted, there is not a way around that.
    Once the account is set up, the Family Organizer can remove the credit card and replace it by a debit card.

  • In LiveCycle Designer ES4 how do you remove tabs within a page once they have been created?

    In LiveCycle Designer ES4 how do you remove tabs within a page once they have been created?

    Emma,
    Take a look at the troubleshooting tips on this page from the Infosemantics website:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/drag-and-drop/troubleshooting-widg et-issues
    Pay particular attention to the section entitled: "My drag and drop question works correctly sometimes, but not other times. "
    From the appearance of your slide, it looks like you may have removed some of the components from the quiz slide that are necessary for it to function correctly.  Try the test that this section of the troubleshooting suggests so that you can see if this is the case.  If it turns out that you have deleted some items, you'll need to recreate your quiz slide to get them back again.
    Hope this helps.

    how do you make room on your start up disk.  i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space

    Try this:
    1. Open "Finder", then navigate to "Movies" on the left side. Click on "iMovie Projects"
    2. Move desired movies and clips to trash, or your flash drive.
    *PS* Its dangerous to have a full hard drive, I would recommend either trashing, or transferring files to another computer. Trash applications you no longer use as well.
