Scroll Bar position within Scrolling panel
Is there any way to set up the scroll bar position below the scrolling panel? Since I would like to pan side to side the content inside the area and not up to down. If not, would there be any alter...
Assemble on the slide all the material you want in the scroll panel on. Rotate each individual item 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Drag them into the scroll panel. Set the final dimensions of the panel.
I find the next step works best if I use an invisible shape the same size and location as the panel, hidden behind the panel. Group the panel and the shape. Then you can rotate the group 90 degrees clockwise and set the final location of the panel.
The first time or two may involve quite a bit of trial and error :)
Alternatively, you can make make your own scrolling, and not need a panel. Make all the content one large image. Put a slider below it, and use the slider to change a variable. When the variable changes, move the image with a motion path set to a relative start point. You will need to save each change of the variable in a separate variable, so you can know if the slider moved right or left. Depending on whether the variable is larger or smaller than the old position, use the right or left motion path. The more points you give the slider, the harder you will have to work, and the smoother the movement will be. As you increase the points on the slider, you will have to decrease the length of the motion paths. Again, lots of trial and error.
For me, rotating the scroll panel has been easier.
