HOW TO MAKE A PANORAMIC VIEW SLIDER
(The join is intentionally messy so you
can see how this works.)

There is no tutorial
for this one, because the tutorial would be far too complicated. HOWEVER I
always try to name variables names that make sense and place explanation
comments liberally throughout the ".fla"
This is an adaptation
of the horizontal slider menu in the experts section of Virtual-FX.
It is the exact same code as the sliding menu, just cut down to its basest
minimum abilities. If you can't grasp the menu slider, download this and learn
how it works first. That may make the menu much easier to understand!
This was made based on a request. (I normally don't do requests but since this
was something that was sitting on the back shelf of things I always intended to
get around to doing one day in Flash, here it is.)
Here's an idea for this that I never got around to doing: Mask off the city so
you can't see the plain blue sky. Make a second layer with clouds that
slide at a different speed (slower) than the city. This would make quite a nice
depth of field effect. NO I can't help you do it. YES it will require a fair
amount of reworking of code. In any case, NOT EASY!
