hello
I have a problem too.
Everything was fine until I added the code for the tween and the Listener for the Bar. Now nothing is moving anymore and I can drag the Handle all over my swf.

Can maybe someone figure out where the mistake lies?
My Compiler shows no misktakes at all only my OutPut say that something with the “init” function is wrong… and that addEventListener isn´t a function?

here´s a screenshot of my code (just ignore the german comments): https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1619370/code-screen.jpg
and my swf: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1619370/ScrollingBar.swf

I am a noob trying to learn as3 – I know some baiscs but I just can´t see any problem…

hey this was a really good tut, but I keep coming up with Syntax Errors, I tired to copy and paste the code from the site but I get the same errors what the?

this is my code:

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

public class main extends MovieClip
{
private var boundsX:Rectangle;
private var startX:Number;
private var contentX:Number;

public function Main():void
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}
private function init(e:Event):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
scrollHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
startX = scrollhandle.x;
contentX = scrollingcontent.x;
bounds = new Rectangle(scrollHandle.x, scrollHandle.y, scrollBar.width – (scrollHandle.widht + 4), 0),
}
private function drag (e:MouseEvent):void
{
scrollHandle.startDrag(false, bounds);
scrollHandle.gotoAndStop(2);
scrollHandle.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopdrag);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBox);
}
private function stopdrag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
scrollHandle.stopDrag();
scrollHandle.gotoAndStop(1);
scrollHandle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopdrag);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBox);
}
private function moveBox(e:Event):void
{
scrollingContent.x = -((contentX – startX) + scrollHandle.x) * ((scrollingContent.width – masker.width) / (scrollBar.width – scrollHandle.width);
}
}
}

if anyone could help me out it would be awesome ’cause I’m going nuts over here!

Yea how do you add the Mouse_Leave? Where would you put that in the code? Also, I want to use a scroll bar vertically too. Would you just change all the x’s to y’s and y’s to x’s in the code?

I liked this tutorail, but it gives me these error messages.

If I open your files in CS4, they dont run, so I am not so
sure what is happening with both of them.

I also copied the content of your MAIN.as to replace the
one I followed to make sure I did not have something typed
wrong.

Thanks – Tim
