I have a situation where "b" changes affecting "e".

e = (f * ((b-c)/d)) + g

Now if I wanted the situation to have it where "e" changes to affect "b" as in...

b = ???????????????

.....I just figured out that it is mthematical problem after 12 hours of debugging the thing, so my head's almost at implosion point.

*walks away from the screem*

(I'll leave in that Fruedian typo)

Class points on offer.

Nevermind, I think I've done it

e = (f * ((b-c)/d)) + g

e - g = f * ((b-c)/d))

(e - g)/f = (b-c)/d

((e-g)/f) * d = b - c

(((e-g)/f) * d) + c = b

tell the problem in more detail - without the algebra - there might be something you missed.

It's all about the scrollbar, that textfield weighs in at 3K, a Flash MX component textfield weighs in at about 40K, which counts a fucking lot if you want to sell Flash sites instead of Html ones.

It's also uniqueish.

e = (f * ((b-c)/d)) + g Subtract g from both sides
e-g=f((b-c)/d) Divide both sides by f
(e-g)/f=(b-c)/d Multiply both sides by d
d((e-g)/f)=b-c Add c to both sides
(d*((e-g)/f)+c = b

It ends up looking very much like the initial equation, just with different variables.

Fow what it's worth here are what the variables were....

( y-axis positions)

b - textfield
c - starting point of the textfield
d- how far the text field scrolls
e- scrollbar button
f- how far the scrollbar button scrolls
g- startpoint of the scrollbar button

simple stuff really, only took all fucking night to get it up and running

I don't like the color and design of the arrows, and the scrolling is choppy and annoying. Is it really necessary?

I guess that means you aren't willing to put in another 12 hours to make the scroll bar more to my liking?

OK, to elaborate, the color is the choice of the client, it's her logo, if she likes bile green that's her choice.

The design of the arrows are the least of the problems invloved, two lines, if she wants fancy I'll type an "v" is some wanky font.

Choppiness, now there's a valid point, but if you click on the button of any scrollbar it's going to be choppy, the fact that you can mouseover the arrow button and make it scroll is a feature that you don't normally see.

I've toned down the choppiness on this model http://www.scraf.com/pix/wat2.html

The whole point of the exercise is to get away from html pages and the fucking hundred's of browser compatibility problems for a change.

This particular trick is for the occasions when the client says... "could we just add these two pictures on to that page?".... ruining a perfectly good layout.

Cue the "iframe like" scrollbar, and in this case not the shitty over-used difficult to adjust version that Macromedia throws out with that bug-prone piece of software that they call Flash.

Was still a good call on the choppiness, you can have some bitch points if you want.

Just goes to prove that I am more accurate when I am kidding than most people are when they are serious. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Actually there was a bug in the last two, you could get your mouse stuck (virtually) to the scrollbar if you moved it quick enough.
