motion path drag and drop scroll effect

Mar 28, 2022

Hi all,

I am trying to use an image of a scroll bar to simulate the dragging of the scrollbar. I managed to rig it up where the user clicks on it and it goes down, but I want to know if it is possible to actually have the user drag the scrollbar and stop it at a specific location. If so, how? Thanks in advance!

Hi Walt,

I guess it would have been helpful to include what slide it was on, lol. I am resending the job with just the one slide. I put a thick red arrow to point to where I want to make the drag and drop happen. I couldn't find your other changes on 2.2. Would you mind taking a look at this slide now that I am giving you the correct information? I would really appreciate it. I would also like to know your process.

Hi Walt. You did a great job. I just have one more question. I have a restart simulation button at the top that hides the layer. The problem is when you redo the simulation, the scroll bar does not go back to the original position even when you select "Reset to Initial State." I guess it is because you are just hiding layers? Anyway, can you tell me how I might fix this. Thanks!

Try this. I added a slide before 2.3, then set the Restart buttons to jump to that slide. The new slide jumps to the old 2.3 (but now 2.4) slide when its timeline starts. When it does that, there is a momentary flash of white, so I copied everything from 2.4 and pasted it on 2.3, and set 2.4 to return to initial state on revisit.
