flash (macromedia): Hi,

I'm stuck on a project, does anybody know how I can create a floating menu that moves down the page as the user scrolls down the page of a web site?

Can you help?

Cheers.

However, you may try to get scrolling event from JavaScript and say to
Flash about that. I know that it's possible, but haven't made that
myself. Hope this helps.

Flash movie does not know when you scroll the browser window
so based on the scroll you can't reposition the content.
YOu can make the menu follow mouse coordinates so whenever the mouse
is the menu will be , give is some delay so it is not as drastic
in motion .

Maybe you misunderstood me. I'm talkin about tracking scrolling of the
area in JavaScript. For the example we can visit sites like ttdown.com
where we can see flying objects which are always on the front regardless
the direction of scrolling. As we may communicate to Flash from
JavaScript we may use the similar trick to solve the problem.

But I have to note that there still number of browsers, which are not
capable of scrolling tracking. Good news that major ones are.

:) Have a nice coding.

Been using many as well , some , like mouse trailer to precisely detect when pointer live the
movie area and based on coordinate interact with it . Problem is , minor updates in players or browser
can cause it to fail . Plus badly supported across multiple browsers and OS .
