[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
