Thanks @James. I really need to get this thing under version control and update a few things. I just built it and then figured it would be useful for others so I threw it up here. People seem to like it so I guess I’ll have to take it more seriously. Thanks for the input.

For those who need to use multiple instances of this great scrollbar class just change all of the private static vars at the top of the class to regular private vars and it should work fine.

Your class download is not packaged properly. Everything is referencing com.hexluv.gui.scrollbar but its missing the scrollbar folder. Goes straight from gui to HexluvScrollbar.

Mark, I followed everything you said and i still get this error:

C:\Users\Sire Morgan\Pictures\hexluv\gui\scrollbar\HexluvScrollbar.as, Line 1 5001: The name of package ‘com.hexluv.gui.scrollbar’ does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition’s name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Users\Sire Morgan\Pictures\hexluv\gui\scrollbar\HexluvScrollbar.as

Morgan,

You have two things you most likely need to do.

Step 1

You can put your .fla and .as file anywhere you would like. I tend to organize my projects like this: client->project name. That’s just my preference. The bottom line is the location of your project files is completely independent of the hexluv scrollbar (Or any other external class)

Step 2

The next thing you’ll want to do is create a new folder somewhere on your hard-drive and point Flash to that folder. Not sure if you’re on a Mac or PC but it would be something like this [Flash]->com->hexluv->gui and so on and so forth. Then if you were to go use another library like TweenLite it would be [Flash]->com->greensock->TweenLite.

The idea is that you start building a library that reference over and over again. You’ll tell Flash once where you store all that stuff and then it’s just a matter of calling it when you need it. Hopefully that makes more sense.

Hey Matt, maybe it would be easier if I just asked where do i put the action script file and where do I put my .fla and.swf file?

This is my folder directory:

Hexscroll>HexluvScrollbar>com>hexluv>gui

And inside the gui folder are the options and filters folder as well as my .as file.

No problem. I’ve already got a post for it. :)

Hey Matt,

Great Scrollbar! I’m having an issue with ‘paths’. Can you give instructions as to where to place the extracted files. I’ve tried every possible variation of folder locations, But I cannot seem to get this working.

hi Matt.

thanks, for the quick reply,
the second question was refering to v2.0 of your scrollbar which i see has been updated to fix the “release outside still dragging bug”
hope to see an update soon
