I am trying to create a 360° panoramic slider using flash to kind of simulate Quicktime VR with zoom in/out controls. My development was going smoothly until I tested the movie and realized it wasn’t duplicating properly (I think this is the problem)

I’d like to take credit for this work but, I pretty much used code from examples around the place and made some of my own changes, but I’ve tried to keep the code as tidy as I can.

Below is a screen shot of the project?



When I test the movie I get this Syntax error

Symbol=panorama, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 12:
dup = "image" add m;

And here is the code for the draggerControl MC (frame 1 of 3)


startDrag("", true);
movieheight = 215;
moviewidth = 520;

// variables

w = getProperty("../movie1", _width);
h = getProperty("../movie1", _height);

// Drag Speed is INVERSE: ie: setting to a higher number will SLOW down the speed...
speed = 15;

// begin drag calculations

xPos = getProperty("", _x);
yPos = getProperty("", _y);

// Center the Drag Effect

xPos = xPos-(moviewidth/2);
yPos = yPos-(movieheight/2);

// slide <--x-->

setProperty("../movie1", _x, getProperty("../movie1", _x)-(xPos/speed));
if (Number(getProperty("../movie1", _x))<Number(-(w/2))) {
setProperty("../movie1", _x, 0.01);
} else if (Number(getProperty("../movie1", _x))>0) {
setProperty("../movie1", _x, -w/2);
}

// slide y

setProperty("../movie1", _y, getProperty("../movie1", _y)-(yPos/speed));

// limit y to movie height

pic_y = getProperty("../movie1", _y);
if (Number(pic_y)>0) {
setProperty("../movie1", _y, 0);
}
if (Number(pic_y)<Number((movieheight-h))) {
setProperty("../movie1", _y, (movieheight-h));
}

And here is the code for the draggerControl MC (frame 2 of 3)

gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1); // this just returns to frame 1 creating a loop effect


And here is the code for the draggerControl MC (frame 2 of 3)

Stop;

In my main timeline I have created a button inside a clip, which is the size of my mask and in the same position. The button basically says, onRollover allow the scrolling and by playing frame 1+2. And onRollout stop scrolling by stopping at frame three.

I am hoping this is just a simple problem that I can't comprehend but if not, I doubt anyone is going to be able to help me with this without looking at the project itself so if you would like to lend a hand and help me out you can download my source. But you will need Flash8.

Thanks in advance

the "add" statement has been deprecated already in version 5, you should use the "+" operator for it..
I've attached a screenshot of the panorama script so you can see what I mean...

Hey funkysould thanks for ya help with the coding of my panorama project.
You probably noticed in my FLA that I had an autopan button (no actions), do you or anyone else out there, know how I could make the parorama_mc scroll either left or right automatically not by the mouse position?

Disregard My last post Im removing the AutoPan feature.
