hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create a draggable movie clip (or one which is controlled by a slider) which is constrained to a curved line rather than a straight line or box. Would be greatful for some help. Cheers.

You probably tried Flashkit but I know I've seen such things before there.

I've seen it before, but just can't find the right page gaddammit. Thanks anyways, i'll keep searching.

Couldnt you just stick the MC on a motion path in another MC, then control the frame of that MC using the slider..
Like,
MC._currenframe = slider._y (*blah de blah) kinda thing ?
Thats what Id do after spending 2 hours trying and failing to script it using trig.

lol mikotondria2 Its kinda has to be scripted for several reasons but thanks for the help! I'll post here when I solve it.

You can do it both ways. Mito just means scripting the dragger by going to and stopping a movie clip along a motion guide as opposed to figuring out some crazy math.

I thought your name was mitochondria like those things in the cells but now I see its not.

aha ! :)
The 4th only person ever to equste my handle to 'those things in the cells'.
Well done :)
According to some geneticists its 'mitochondria Vs the Y chromosome' at the moment, its all very suspicious, and completely beyond my understanding or interest.
And yes, I did mean script the position of the MC by reading the slider._y, thank you :).
Fuck trig.
