I am looking for a way to build in an interactive slider bar (a bit like wonga.com for UK!) and i'm thinking the best way to do this would be as a freeform drag and drop.... Has anyone done this before? I think I remember a "stress thermometer" in the beta which was similar
I started the topic in the beta and ended up doing something really simple before the really cool, heady stuff got suggested by the "techno-geeks."
I created a simple bar with tick marks. Clicking a tick mark moved the slider, which for me was a red circle. I just used layers to do this. Clicking a tick mark just moved to a different layer that had the slider in a different position. Had to make sure in my layer properties that a layer did not prevent clicking on the base layer.
I am trying to demonstrate a Call Center Dialler and want to compare performance at various stages e.g.10%, 20% and 35% and how that impact the efficiency so I will replace the tick points with the varying %'s.

David fair did a slider in the beta, he did post the files but I cannot find them. It is relatively simple changing state using an invisible shape.
You basically change the state of hidden objects as you drag the hidden shape over the slider to make it look like you are sliding .

Actually worked pretty well.
I'll trade. I get how to do the tick marks (attached). Cool, Gerry. But I'm a bit hazy on the dragging/sliding.
Here's how I did it.
