Hey guys,

I've been working for a client developing a carousel (advancing it over time) and I've finally come unstuck. I've attached a picture of what it's supposed to look like and can send you the URL for the online version.

The client now wants the each tile to be a complete tile clickable. I'm smashing my head against the wall trying to do this for them because at the moment only the "More on..." text is clickable.

Below is the code on how this has been generated;

// Create 3D camera
this.initCamera = function() {
// create camera object
this.oCamera = new Object();
// Set camera Properties
this.oCamera.z = focalLength;// target camera z position
this.oCamera.dz = 10;// initial camera z position
this.oCamera.s = 2;// camera zoom speed
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
// Move Camera
with (this.oCamera) {
dz += (z-dz)/s;
}
// shift angle of all clips
shiftAmount = (this["instance_mc_"+selectedMC].angle-90)/maxSpeed;
};
// loop and create the numer of instances defined
for (var i = 0; i<numItems; i++) {
var itmeClip = (i);

//This is the script that disables the hand cursor. Only the pointer is visible
itmeclip.enabled = true;
itmeclip.useHandCursor = true;
// attach movie
this.attachMovie(itmeClip,"instance_mc_"+i,i);
// Assign variable to the MovieClip
clip = this["instance_mc_"+i];
// define initial properties
clip.x = 200;// initial x position
clip.y = 0;// initial y position
clip.angle = i*(360/numItems);// initial item angle
// Add Blur
//var blur = new BlurFilter();
//clip.tempFilter = clip.filters;
//clip.tempFilter.push(blur);
/// render
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
// shift angle
this.angle -= shiftAmount;
// prevents to go over 360 back to 0
this.angle %= 360;
// prevent to go under 0 back to 360
this.angle = (this.angle<0) ? 360 : this.angle;
// Transform angle degrees to radian value
var radian = (this.angle*Math.PI/180);
// Calculate x position value
this.x = Math.cos(radian)*radius;
// Calculate z position value
this.z = centerY-Math.sin(radian)*radius;
// tilt y position to reflect 3D
this.y = _root.yscroll*Math.sin(radian)-210;
// Calculating actual scale values according to scale = dz/(z+dz) formula
var scale = (this._parent.oCamera.dz-_root.zscroll*5)/(focalLength+this.z);
// Position - This current setting centres the carousel
this._x = (this.x*scale)+centerX;
//this._y = (this.y*scale) + centerY;
// I've disabled the "centerY" axis so we can manually change the HEIGHT
this._y = 180;
// set perspective adjustement
var adj = (this.z*12)/radius;
// set size
this._xscale = this._yscale=(scale*85-adj);
// Swap depths
this.swapDepths(scale*100);
// alpha
this._alpha = (scale*150);
};
}
};

My problem is that I've been working on this for so long I'm just at wits ned now...ANY HELP GUYS?

Cheers,

Desi

Last thought, if you don't know the answer, can you point me to somewhere that might? (My bookmarks are not on my work laptop...they are on my home laptop but I don't have that on me...DOH).

Cheers people.
