Ok I am sure I'll be able to use it somehow, if anything it will help me out with how to move my plates around.

I'll just post any questions I have here then, I can understand where your coming from :)

I am going to give it a clean start now and see if I can control everything through actionscript, instead of tweens.

Well I hope my stuff helps you out :D

I was planning on doing navigations like that for a while (seen them around, thought they were cool), but never had motivation. So thank you for giving me the motivation to get my arse in gear and make them 8)

I hear ya, functions were never easy for me to get my head around. When learning Javascript I got used to basic functions, but then I got into AS and I started getting into different uses of functions, and then the object oriented prototype functions, and in the beginning it was too much for me to handle, but I started slowing down and taking things in piece by piece and researching what each command did until I eventually understood each part individually. Once you understand the individual parts it gets easier to piece it together and understand how it works as a whole. After that you are home free (usually).

Now I do everything with functions, they are so useful for reusable coding :D

Well, I got it to work...no I didn't but it kind of works. It move the panel, the right direction, but to far and without any animation, I am sure one glance at this and you will have my answer...I hope :-D

Code: [ Select ]
function moveX (ammount)
{
    if (ammount > 0) {
        var isPos = 1;
    } else {
        var isPos = 0;
    }
    absAmmount = Math.abs(ammount);
    var counter = 0;
    var maxX = 470;
        var minX = -470;
    panels.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (_parent.isPos == 1) {
                if (_parent.counter < _parent.maxX) {
                    this._x += 47;
                    _parent.counter += 47;
                } else {
                    this._x = -585;
                    _parent.counter = 0;
                }
        } else {
            if (_parent.counter > _parent.minX) {
                    this._x -= 47;
                    _parent.counter -= 47;
                } else {
                    this._x = -585;
                    _parent.counter = 0;
                }        }
}
}

but.onRelease = function() {
    moveX(1);
}
  1. function moveX (ammount)
  2. {
  3.     if (ammount > 0) {
  4.         var isPos = 1;
  5.     } else {
  6.         var isPos = 0;
  7.     }
  8.     absAmmount = Math.abs(ammount);
  9.     var counter = 0;
  10.     var maxX = 470;
  11.         var minX = -470;
  12.     panels.onEnterFrame = function() {
  13.         if (_parent.isPos == 1) {
  14.                 if (_parent.counter < _parent.maxX) {
  15.                     this._x += 47;
  16.                     _parent.counter += 47;
  17.                 } else {
  18.                     this._x = -585;
  19.                     _parent.counter = 0;
  20.                 }
  21.         } else {
  22.             if (_parent.counter > _parent.minX) {
  23.                     this._x -= 47;
  24.                     _parent.counter -= 47;
  25.                 } else {
  26.                     this._x = -585;
  27.                     _parent.counter = 0;
  28.                 }        }
  29. }
  30. }
  32. but.onRelease = function() {
  33.     moveX(1);
  34. }

No I was wrong, it just happened to move it the direction I wanted it to move...

By the way what I was hoping to have happen with this function is:
Click a button, which initiates the function. The movement glides the panel over once, then resets it to the middle (everything is identicle so it should not be too visible) then it continues for "ammount" number of times.

Hey, sorry for disappearing, I haven't been around much for the past few days.

I am confused though, did you solve your problem?

the problem has been curbed for a while thanks to color scheme inspiration from Geekette, I decided that a much simplar but more content rich page was better.
