[Dynapi-Help] hiding content

[<gl...@fa...>]

hello, i am just starting to learn dynapi, and am in the process of
rigging up a scrolling type of site. I decided to construct my own
scrollbar for the learning process.

Anyway, my scrollbar is now working ok, problem is, i cant figure out how
to set an invisibility box outside the scrollbar. i.e. if the content
being scrolled isnt in a certain area it needs to be invisible.

I have tried setClip, but this just clips the content, so i just have
incomplete content sliding up and down.

I thought maybe if i create a layer and apply the setClip to this, then
have the content as a child this may work.. But i tried this and couldnt
reference to the child to scroll it independantly from the parent. i
tried to reference as in: parent.child.getPageY() etc and
child.getPageY() etc, neither of these worked.

so, does anybody know how to get this to work?

thanks in advance

Rob

What you do is have your content layer inside of a clipping layer:
The content layer moves up and down (or left to right)
"behind" the clipping layer.

The Content layer is a child of the clipping layer and can be any size.
The clipping layer acts as a "window" into the content layer..

A bit drunk and maybe not too clear..
