Make your carousel ScrollView friendly

In order to use your carousel component inside a ScrollView and avoid any conflicts while scrolling, you need to use parentScrollViewRef prop.

<ScrollView
  ref={(c) => { this.parentScrollView = c; }}
>

  ...

  <Carousel
    data={datacarousel}
    parentScrollViewRef={this.parentScrollView}
  />

  ...

</ScrollView>
