if (_ymouse < startY - 5) { row = 1;}
else if (_ymouse > startY + 5) { row = 3;}
else row = 2;

n = column + (row - 1) * 3;
cursor_mc.gotoAndStop(n);
}

Step 15: Make the final adjustment

We have one small adjustment to make. When the user releases the mouse button,
we need to go to the last frame of cursor_mc . Modify the line shown in the pano_
mc.onEnterFrame handler.

pano_mc.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if (pressed) { checkTheMouse(); }
else cursor_mc.gotoAndStop(10);

}

Save your movie and test it to make sure that the panorama pans and scrolls properly.
This completes the exercise.

Summary

This chapter focused on two types of QTVR movies and how to simulate them by incor-
porating ActionScript to create interactive object movies and panoramas. Now that you
have finished reading the chapter, you should be able to

• Create a simulated simple object movie

• Extend object movies to include circular path motion

• Create simple panning movement in Flash

• Extend panorama movement to include scrolling with cursor feedback

The next chapter focuses on drawing three-dimensional objects.
