Scrollbar Behaviour for Director 10 & 11

I posted this on the Director Mailing List the other day but thought I should also get it online elsewhere so that everyone has access. What I've created is a scrollbar behaviour that emulates the scrollbar object found in the now dead OSControls Xtra. So all properties, methods and events from the old #OSscrollbar object are now supported by this new scrollbar behaviour. For more information see the following links...

Current Version: 1.0b8-19Jun08

If you need help with the Scrollbar Behaviour just leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Version 1.0b7-19Jun08

Release Notes:

- Fixed value becoming a negative in certain situations (caused display issues with #field members)
- Fixed an execution order bug which would send an update command before setting the scrollTop value of a linked field/text member
- Up and down functions now scroll by line when a field/text member is selected (the amount of lines scrolled can be set by pScrollAmount)

Hello astro. Thanks for posting this custom behavior. I was looking for it.
My question is, how can i use this to my custom graphics?

Hi Pixelrise,

In the example above all you would need to do is replace the member "scrollbar_layout" with one containing your image layout. Just make sure you follow the layout pictured in the Photoshop CS3 template document (also found above).

Note that I have also posted some extra files to the Directorforum Collaboration Wiki that may help and they can be found on the following page... http://collab.directorforum.com/Scrollbar_Behavior
