Scrolling Window

To create a scrolling window, we basically have 2 parts:

  • the scrolling window,
  • the scroll bar.

The Scrolling Window

This is made up of simply a large movieclip (well call this movieclip 'windowContent'), held inside a mask - so that only part of the movieclip is visible.

 

The Scroll Bar.

The job of the scroll bar is to move the main movieclip ('windowContent') up and down.

The scroll bar is made up of 2 movieclips:

  • the Scroll Bar ('scrollBar').
  • the Scroll Button ('scrollButton').

The scroll Button is the button you drag up and down the Scroll Bar, which in turn, moves the window Content

First, we'll create the Scroll Bar
