Scroll buttons

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey guys,

How do I create a button that scrolls the screen to the right (example: in settings, you tap “wi-fi” and it scrolls to the right (opening a new scene). And when you hit “back”, it scrolls back to the same height it was before)

Thanks!

Hi Gustavo,

I’m having trouble understanding your question - you want a button that scrolls to the right but then another button that does something to do with height?

Could you perhaps try to clarify for me, please?

Hi Peach,

It probably sounded wrong. I actually have trouble understanding how those buttons from lists (such as Settings) work. I mean, is all the content of Settings in one scene, and the user just go around the scene by clicking the buttons, or one button (wifi for instance) calls another scene?

You mean something like this?

  
transition.to(myScene,{x=-1536, time=500})

So it is all in a really big scene?

Can you post an example with one button? Like, the whole thing…

Thank you, sorry for the trouble!! [import]uid: 95495 topic_id: 26314 reply_id: 106773[/import]

This is just a rough sample written directly and not tested…

[code]

local btn = nil;
local scrollScene = nil;

scrollScene = function( event )
if event.phase==“ended” then
transition.to(myScene,{x=-1536, time=500})
end
end

btn = display.newImage(“images/button.png”, 100,100);
btn:addEventListener(“touch”, scrollScene);

Hmmm, I just misunderstood your question…so my sample code is maybe not the correct.

Are u using storyboard, listview or groups?

I’m sorry, I don’t know what those are for!

Should I be using one of them? ( I mean, for everything or for this specific task only)

Yes, I am not being very clear on what I want…I need to create an app that is a list, divided into categories.

You should maybe look at the director class. You can download it here on the site and run the samples provided, to see if it can be useful. [import]uid: 81188 topic_id: 26314 reply_id: 106786[/import]

Oh, that’s what you meant. Yes, I use director class.

Do you know any scene transition effects? For instance, I call another scene with director, but I don’t know how to slide to another scene, it just changes. [import]uid: 95495 topic_id: 26314 reply_id: 106800[/import]

For other Director questions please ask in the Director subforum - but here is a list for you :slight_smile:

[lua]director:changeScene(“scene”, “moveFromRight”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromRight”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “moveFromLeft”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromLeft”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromTop”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromBottom”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “fade”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “flip”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “downFlip”)[/lua]

Hope that helps!
