AS3 Slideshow with next and previous btns

[dada78]

Hi,

I have been struggeling figuring out a simple slideshow using next and previous buttons.

Currently I have a slideShow container with 4 movieclips arrranged next to one another.

 

Essentially what I would like is have the slideshow cycle through the 4 slides in the slideshow container and have a next and previous button executable at anytime, but I have no idea on how to accomplish this. This is what I have at the moment:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

var timeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
timeline.append( new TweenLite(slideShow, 0.5, {x:"0"}) );
timeline.append( new TweenLite(slideShow, 0.5, {delay:2, x:"-280"}));
timeline.append( new TweenLite(slideShow, 0.5, {delay:2, x:"-260"}));
timeline.append( new TweenLite(slideShow, 0.5, {delay:2, x:"-260"}));

Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks,

Dada

I would suggest inserting each tween at a label and using TimelineMax geLabelAfter() and getLabelBefore() methods to aid in the navigation.

 

Also look into TimelineMax's tweenTo() method that will allow you tween to any label.

 

There is quite a bit of logic you will need to work out to build a self-playing timeline with pauses and dynamic navigation. Not sure how much you need help with.
