vertical slider

yeah i found the same issue with re-exporting the SWC.

ah well. no need to go too deep or lose any sleep over this one. call me a renegade, but i'm just going to fudge it:

i've dropped the idea of vertical sliding and gone with horizontal. as abeall mentioned, i could equally have just rotated the slider(and rotate the thumb skins if they weren't sitting right)

i placed an invisible rectangle 13x13 in each thumb skin to prevent my thumb from resizing.(which works so long as my custom thumb is smaller than 13x13!)

obviously ideally we'd resolve this slider code, but with time short i think i'll leave it for gskinner!

LOL, good catch! Hadn't gotten to that problem yet! Even after changing some values and re-exporting a new SWC, it's not "updating". It is, but, its breaking... Which I find odd.. I modified the FLVPlayback component to dispatch NetStatusEvents, exported a new SWC, and it works great... Not sure why this isn't compiling correctly... I must get some shut eye, but I'll be back on this in the morning if there hasn't been a break through. :)

lol, right abeall, that is exactly where i'm looking right now! Something doesn't seem right there. I'm investigating as we speak!

This is probably the problem area, line 663 in Slider.as;

thumb.x = ((_direction == SliderDirection.VERTICAL) ? (maximum-minimum-value) : (value-minimum))/(maximum-minimum)*(_width);

The part that isn't working is (maximum-minimum-value). It certainly doesn't look right. I would expect something more like:

(value-minimum))/(maximum-minimum)*(_height)

But I don't know what _width is or where it comes from, or if there is actually a _height.

I don't have time to compile and test right now, but that's the first place I'd start. HTH

That is odd. You can try having a look at the base classes, tinkering then export a new SWC to get a new component. I will have to do this when I get more time. Path--

and

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Component Source\ActionScript 3.0\User Interface\fl\core\UIComponent.as

are the two you are probably interested in.

lol @ #4. I'll have to check this out when I get home.

Hey Craig, I'm not seeing the problem you are describing. Any chance we can see an example file?
