Question

I spend almost 3 hours trying to figure this out, hope someone can help me.

I have a a set up like this:

ScrollPane > Sprite > multiple Loader one after another along y coordinate > external swf.

• The setup is to allow scrolling of the loader/swf vertically.
• All the objects have unit scale (no scale) except for Sprite which may have a scale factor due to zoom.
• The external swf are pages from a PDF, one page per swf.

All is good so far.

Now, I have a set of next and back navigation button to step through the pages. The problem is I cannot find the correct formula to calculate the ScrollPane.verticalScrollPosition to set to.

Can you spot the mistake here? Thanks…

scroll_per_height = scrollpane.maxVerticalScrollPosition / (sprite.height - scrollpane.height);
height_per_page = sprite.height / sprite.loaders.Count
scroll_position = (page - 1) * height_per_page  * scroll_per_height;

Answer 1

Usually I just delete my question if i find out the answer before anyone replies. But I think this will help some people at least:

The verticalScrollPosition is not the scrollbar’s scroller position, instead, it’s actually the y-coordinate offset of the scrollpane.content
