Scrolling panel (it's a long shot but someone must know)

[mcvinnie]

Hello and good day to everyone. (new user here)

Here is my query: I am trying to create an effect like the one on this site:

http://www.wireless.bt.com/home.asp?vendorid=

(let it load then click 'explore city')

I have managed to set up the scrolling background ok but the rollover buttons are causing problems. If you notice on the site I linked to, when you rollover the little 'hotspots' they give you information. It also stops the background from scrolling. I have been unable to get my rollover buttons to stop the scroll, meaning that the rollover keeps moving and very quickly rolls out, which is very annoying.

Can anyone suggest a way that I could code it so that the scroll stops while the button is in the rollover state?

Thanks for reading,

Ross

A very simple way would to have variable which changes to say 'true' when you rollover one of the hotspots and to 'false' when you roll off. Then with the scrolling background code do:

Code: Select all

If stop = true then
  //Insert code here
end

Sorry that its not flash code but im sure you can work it out from that, i hope.
