Continue to scroll when dragged outside scrollview

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have a simple scrollview populated with a number of display objects:

myScrollView = widget.newScrollView {
        top = 100,
        left = (200),
        width = 45,
        height = (60),
        horizontalScrollDisabled = true,
        verticalScrollDisabled = false,
        topPadding = 31,
        bottomPadding = 5,
        backgroundColor = { 0, 0, 0},
        isBounceEnabled = true,
        listener = scrollViewTouched
    }

When I touch the scrollview and drag the finger outside it, the scrolling stops and no “ended” or “cancelled” events are triggered.

How do I make it keep scrolling even if I drag outside?

If you’re using daily builds circa 2015.2598, you should know that tableview and scrollview are broken and were fixed in later builds. It sounds like that’s what you encountered. See: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/55784-tableview-and-scrollview-broken-since-march-12-build/

If, on the other hand, you’re asking for the endedScroll event, it used to exist. But Corona quietly removed it. Despite a request dating back to January 2014, Corona has never (as far as I know) restored it, so I suppose you should expect it never to return: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/43778-restoring-deleted-scrollview-feature-endedscroll-event/
