Using a slider and updating an image field

Hello,
I have an image field with 101 images with a slider underneath,
I am currently using the handler "onmouseup" for the slider, this is ok as individual clicks will result in image changes...
However, I would ideally like the images to change on the fly as the clicked mouse moves along the slider (instead of only on mouse up).
Currently, the image only changes on mouse up, not the entire time the slider is being moved.
Thank you,
I am a novice so bear with me,
Another handler or method of getting the slider to update every image as the slider moves is ideally what I am looking for.

Hi Chibling,
you are looking for the scrollbarDrag message and the thumbpos property.
Hope that helps,
Malte
Works!

Thank you Klaus. I have an image sequence (60 in total) that I want to display in LiveCode using a slider... similar to what you see on a QuickTime movie or a YouTube video. As you click and drag the slider button, the images change. And if possible, I would like to put navigation-type scripts on each of the images.

Hi DunedinMultimedia,
aha, I see!
Plase check my attached stack.
1. I imported 6 nice images (some ZAPPA covers
and noted their IDs -> Inspector for the images
2. Then I created a button "display" with the same size as the largest image (they all have the same dimension in my example)
3. I added a scrollbar (show value) with max value = the number of images I want to display
4. Added this little script to the scrollbar:
Code: Select all
local tIDList
on mouseenter
## I have the IDs of all my images that I want to display here in this list:
## Order = order of appearance
put "1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008" into tIDList
end mouseenter
## This handler comes with a parameter = the current value, updated in real-time!
on scrollbarDrag tValue
## So I just pick the according item from the list and set the ICON of my button to it.
set the icon of btn "display" to item tValue of tIDList
end scrollbarDrag
That's it
And if possible, I would like to put navigation-type scripts on each of the images.
Hm, in that case you could scrpt the button with a "Switch the icon of me" condition and "react" differntly for different images
or soemthing completely different (a script for each image?), which I will have to think about
