Intro

A scrolling menu is an extremely useful thing to be able to do and though it is not difficult, how to do it is far from obvious. This technique can be used to scroll any object such as a long movie clip or picture. In this tutorial I will show you how to create a horizontally scrolling menu like the one below:

Example of a horizontal scrolling menu

Creating a vertically scrolling menu is no different:

Example of a long vertical menu.

You could even scroll an object diagonally or wiggle it back and forth or around and around. It is getting the buttons to play the movie in either a forward or backwards motion that is the trick. The movement is created with a standard tween.

question Posted on 08/25/2008

is there any way that i can insert buttons that would skip to a section of the image or information within the movie clip. like a short cut that takes me to the area i want.
