Anyone know how to have a scrollable window in MMF?

[Gibbon]

Hi, im wanting to have a window inside my mmf project that displays another frame. So sub app works perfectly. But i want that frame to be large but shown in a "smaller" window, which i can do by settingt the "custom size" of the sub application, but th touble is now how can i "scroll" around that frame, idially i would like to use scroll bars but what ever i try doesnt seem to work very well?

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

If you'd like to have scroll bars on your application, I can suggest an extension called WinScrollBar.
This gives you the ability to place vertical/horizontal scroll bars on your application. You can use the storyboard controls in the event editor to position where about a value on the scroll bar is in the frame.

For example: If you had a horizontal scroll bar ranging from 0-600 (and the app's size was 600 pixels across)
If you positioned at 300, it would position x=300, the centre of the frame.

Hi, thanks for the reply, adding scroll bars is fine but getting the scroll bars to "position" the frame with the window of a sub application simply doesnt work. I want to have a frame within a subapp thats SMALLER than the frame sizer,but be able to scroll the frame around. Just like the frame editor of MMF, it has scroll bars that can scroll the frame around within its window.

The other issue with the WinScrollBar is that for some odd reason they are automatically position to the FRAME sizer, not the window, so if i resize the frame bigger than the app window, they dissapear?

I quickly threw this together this morning. I'm not entirely sure it is what you were aiming for.
(Sorry about the filesize... I used a bit of scenery from Google images for the backdrop... and didn't realize the size. The .mfa only contains one event. :P )

For some reason that will not load, it errors saying it maybe currupt and have bad objects, if i ignore it says fail to load. Are you using a newer version to me? Im using R255?

Thanks

I guess so, since build 256.33 is the beta build that's been released recently and I'm able to open mojofltr's MFA. (256.34 at this time of writing) It uses the WinScrollBar object too.

You can find it here: http://community.clickteam.com/showthread.php?t=78161 (it's also a sticky on the sub-forum index)

I am also using R255. I will update the .mfa with a smaller background jpg and upload it again on the MFA Repository.

I had to downscale it a little, but it functions as the previous file did.
