The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need help with parallax site mouse restrictions.

Asked by Nutbeen in ActionScript, Macromedia Flash

Tags: , ,

Hi experts,

I have been building a site using a parallax flash extension. I want the site to be 100% windowed as I have drag-able windows.

The problem is I'm not good with Actionscript and somehow I need to limit the parallax code to the width of my site (900px). The borders of the site are marked with two vertical leave pillars.

I basically have the parallax code on each item on the stage which I wish to move, and there is a variable relating to the code on the first frame.

I have tried myself to limit the mouse movement with this code, which you will see in the snippet below. please let me know if I am way off, I have never done parallax before.

Math.max( 0, Math.min( 900, _xmouse ) )

This is the site: http://www.rpbooks.co.uk/look

And this is one variation of the parallax code on an object on the stage:Start Free Trial

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	Math.max( 0, Math.min( 800, _xmouse ) )
	if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
		homeX = (-_root._xmouse*3.1)+3700;
	} else {
		homeX = (-_root.mainVar*3.1)+3700;
	}
	thisX = _x;
	diffX = homeX-thisX;
	if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
		moveX = diffX/30;
	} else {
		moveX = diffX/5;
	}
	_x = thisX+moveX;
