Using Slider in EdgeAnimate to control an animated symbol's timeline

Using Slider in EdgeAnimate to control an animated symbol's timeline

Hey,

I am using Adobe Edge Animate to create an interactive app.

I have trawled through posts and posts on various forums and nothing I have found actually seems to do what I need.


What I have is a symbol, ("PAN"), which contains 3 layers animated to create a parallax effect from it's extreme right position at 0ms to it's extreme left position at 1000ms. I have it set in compositionReady to hold at 500ms (the mid point of the pan). It does not autoplay.


What I want to do is drag that pan left or right and have the symbol animate in the appropriate direction to show that parallax pan.


I figure that the best way to do this is to have an invisible, stage sized element that can be dragged left and right -with limits- and which controls the PAN symbol's timeline.


I know how to make elements draggable, and constrain their movements using JqueryUI. I also know how to call a moving object's position. What I do not know is how to convert that position to a timeline's time. Is there possibly some way to achieve this using Slider?


I hope that makes sense and someone out there can help.


Thanks,

Justin
