Scrolling Thumbnail Panel - How to access the thumbnail???

November 7th, 2009, 2:14 am

Hi,

I have used this tutorial to create a scrolling thumbnail panel, and it works fine. But now I need to display the image for the thumbnail being clicked. I thought by naming the instance of my thumbnail button on my panel, I could determine which thumbnail is clicked and display its corresponding image.

I am getting the following error:
1120: Access of undefined property thumb1Btn.

I am new using AS3, and most likely am not doing the right thing.
Could you please help?

Thanks

Here's the code:

panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
 
function panelOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
    panel.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
    panel.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);
   
}
 
var b:Rectangle = stroke.getBounds(this);
 
function scrollPanel(event:Event):void {
    if(mouseX < b.left || mouseX > b.right || mouseY < b.top || mouseY > b.bottom) {
        panel.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);
        panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
    }
       
    if(panel.x > 25.1) {
        panel.x = 25.1;
    }
    if(panel.x < -2181) {
        panel.x = -2181;
    }
    var xdist = mouseX - stage.stageWidth / 2;
    panel.x += -(xdist / 10);
}
 
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// onRelease
thumb1Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onReleaseMyButton);
function onReleaseMyButton(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.load(new URLRequest("image1.swf"));  
}

1. panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
2.  
3. function panelOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
4.     panel.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
5.     panel.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);
6.    
7. }
8.  
9. var b:Rectangle = stroke.getBounds(this);
10.  
11. function scrollPanel(event:Event):void {
12.     if(mouseX < b.left || mouseX > b.right || mouseY < b.top || mouseY > b.bottom) {
13.         panel.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollPanel);
14.         panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, panelOver);
15.     }
16.        
17.     if(panel.x > 25.1) {
18.         panel.x = 25.1;
19.     }
20.     if(panel.x < -2181) {
21.         panel.x = -2181;
22.     }
23.     var xdist = mouseX - stage.stageWidth / 2;
24.     panel.x += -(xdist / 10);
25. }
26.  
27. import flash.events.MouseEvent;
28. // onRelease
29. thumb1Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onReleaseMyButton);
30. function onReleaseMyButton(event:MouseEvent):void {
31.     var loader:Loader = new Loader();
32.     loader.load(new URLRequest("image1.swf"));  
33. }

Don't worry, I found a different way!
