The scroll bar on your Guildwars Flash Site seems glitchy, it follows the mouse even after you let go. I think Adam had a working scroll bar you could build off. Just giving you a heads up :)

Well, first off – LOL

And here is my response: What a f? Who do you think you are to tell me what to do???

Just joking, here is the real response:

I am well aware of that issue and not surprisingly, this scrollbar WAS based off the Adam’s code, I am no way smart enough to write my own scrollbar from scratch (now would be a perfect time to pamper my esteem and say that I can do even better ;) ). The reason it does that is because the swf is loaded externally and therefore onReleaseOutside listener simply don’t work, because there is kind of no outside because it is always inside (wait, dude, WHAT???). Now, I am sure it is fixable, but here is the reason why it is not fixed – I am lazy. :) Seriously, though, I might look into that and oh, mysterious stranger, thank you for pointing that out (no sarcasm whatsoever… frankly… none… :) )

Thanks for visiting my site and I hope you will read this reply and perhaps even reveal your identity. But that’s fine, I like mysteries too :)
