Flash :: Auto Scroll For Dynamic Textfield Content Loaded From XML ?

Auto Scroll TextField As Text Added?
Here's a routine that creates the effect of text being typed into a TextField...

ActionScript Code:
var textString:String = /* a block of text of any length */
// tField is a dynamic text field already on the stage
var count:uint = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, typeout);
function typeout(e:Event){
tField.text = textString.substr(-textString.length, count);
if(count < textString.length) count ++;
if(count == textString.length) removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, typeout);
}

This does the job it's supposed to. My question is, if the text is more lines than the allotted lines in the TextField, I'd like the the TextField to automatically scroll down as each new line is added. I'm assuming it has something to do with bottomScrollV, but I'm stuck on how to implement it. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

How To Make A Loaded .swf Auto-resize To Fit Its Content,which Will Change At Runtime
Well, first I don't even know if this is possible, lol, but I think I saw something like this once in a website, and I'd really need it to work.

I have a site which loads an external .swf and puts it inside a scrollpane (or should I say scrollPAIN).

This external swf is initially empty, and generates its content at runtime duplicating some movieclips inside it. But this content can change everytime (this is all for a dynamic image gallery, and the .swf file is the one containing the thumbnails, so it has a different number of them for each different gallery).

The problem is, right now I have to make a separate .swf file for each thumbnail gallery, one by one, making each of them of the corresponding size to contain the number of thumbnails they'll create at runtime.

For example, if every thumb is 50 px in height and a gallery has got 10 of them, I have to make a .swf file which is 50 * 10 = 500 px in height.

But if another gallery has 8 of them, the .swf file has to be 50 * 8 = 400 px tall, so I need to make an identical .swf which is 400 px tall.

What I'd like to be able to do is the .swf to automatically resize itself to fit the content it loads at runtime.

I hope I made myself clear, as this is a bit tricky to understand if you're not seeing it.

Thanks in advance for any replies

How To Auto-add Scroll Buttons To Loaded Text?
Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to automatically add scroll buttons to an MC when the amount of text loaded from an external file exceeds the available space in the dynamic textbox?

The closest I've found was one on http://www.nooflat.nu/ that adds a slider but no buttons but I'm sure I've seen one with buttons before - just can't remember where!

I've tried searching the forums but the dodgy titles people give their posts make it pretty difficult to find what I'm looking for - more descriptive posts please!

Thanks,
Andy

Dynamic Flv Player With Auto Resize Based On Content
Hi,

I would like to build a .flv player which can accommodate 7 different video sizes.
This will probably be made using php and xml to dynamically control content.

What I would like to know is if and how it is possible to have a holder.swf (just looks for variables to display the flv) that can automatically resize based on the flv dimensions. I dont want any kind of browserscreen resolution resizing of content, just an swf that will change its size from say 320x240 to 450x253 depending on the dynamically loaded flv.

Auto-scroll Dynamic Text
Hi you all!

Learned lots and lots from so many of you (THANKS!)but still need help with this:

I want to auto-scroll a list of about 600 company names. The text in the variable needs to be up-dated quite often.

So - is there a way to either load dynamic text into a mowieclip (really tried to find info on this all over but no success or I'm blind...) 'cause if my text is in a mc I can auto-scroll it...

or - is there another way to make dynamic text auto-scroll?

Would really make my day if you could help me figure this out!

Dynamic XML Image Slider Auto Scroll Question
I Have a question regarding a dynamic XML driven image slide show.

I want the movie to slide continuessly from the left side automatically when it is loaded.
Now it only loads when a mouse movement enters the screen.

The link is:
http://dev.islandtechnologies.net/Fl...sh-test01.html

Here is the code from the main time line, Frame 2 (Frame 1 loads the XML file:

stop();
// Number of items
itemNum = 15;
// Stage Dimentions
stageWidth = 700;
stageHeight = 300;
// Button's width
width = 169;
// Separation between the buttons
separation = 20;
// Distance between the buttoms
space = width + separation;
// Total width of the buttons line
limit = itemNum * space;
// Speed
speed = 5;
for(i=0; i<itemNum; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("mc_button","mc_button"+i,10+i);
ref = _root["mc_button"+i];
// Vertical Positión (_y)
ref._y = stageHeight/5;
// Horizontal Positión (_x) + separation (20px)
ref._x = ( space * i ) + separation;
// Loads the picture description
ref.info.descName=picturesXML.firstChild.childNode s[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue
// unloads the marc
ref.marc.unloadMovie()
// Load the picture(.jpg)
ref.marc.loadMovie(picturesXML.firstChild.childNod es[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue)
// The link where will go when press
ref.link=picturesXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue
}
onMouseMove = function(){
movement = int(((_xmouse - (stageWidth/2))/-(stageWidth/2)) * speed);
}

And here is the code from the movie clip timeline (frame 1):

// picture scale
marc._xscale = marc._yscale = 100
// link
var link:String;
// Moving

onEnterFrame = function() {
// Adjust the position
this._x += _root.movement;
// if is outside the right limit...
if ( this._x > _root.limit - _root.width ){
// ... goes to the left limit
this._x -= _root.limit;
}
// if is outside the left limit...
if( this._x < -_root.width ) {
// ... goes to the right limit
this._x += _root.limit;
}
}
// Getting URL when press
info.onPress=function(){
getURL("http://"+link)
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Flash Player Bug Prevents Dynamically Loaded Content To Scroll...
I tried the moocks solution for flash player bug, which prevents dynamically loaded content to scroll, but I am not able to make it work. The possible problem might be that I already upgraded to flashplayer 6 (I hoped that the bug might be fixed, but it seems not), so - does anybody know whether moocks workaround from his free chat server works under flash player 6? If yes, than I would be extremely grateful for any hint how to make this solution working.
I understand, that the essential part is a separate mc, which resets the textfield with this script like this:

onClipEvent ( enterFrame ) {
if ( _root.documentUpdated ) {
this.text.scroll = this.text.maxscroll - 1;
_root.documentUpdated = false;
}
}
I applied it exactly as moock in his chat server, but without success. Maybe I overlooked something. Does anybody know some downloadable .fla (less complex than this chat server) which I could use as an example?

How To Load Content In Text File Into Dynamic Textfield?
I try to use the loadVariable() method to know the data into the dynamic textfield, but I fail. I put the text file in the same directory as the movie. In fact I am not quite sure what the exact format of the data in the text file should be. In my text file I write:

myText.htmlText = "hello <b>world</b>!"

And my code is:

loadVariables("text.txt", "myText.htmlText");

Can anyone tell me what is the correct method of using the loadVariables() method?

Help With Dynamic Scroll Content (so Close)
Hi guys

I'm trying to create a scroll area similar to http://www.norwaysays.no ... with text content and thumbnails.

I am having no trouble bringing in the information I want (both text and images), as I am calling the variables I want via PHP from my database...

I can already successfully load new content into a textarea with a scrollbar (component), and change the content by sending new requests to the database, though I obviously can't insert the images into the text area.

However, I can create the thumbnails as per the following code inside my 'for' loop (I have already set piclocation_x and _y variables outside of the loop):

Code:
//thumbnail image loop
//levelhack = a means to ensure loading new image into a unique level

_global.levelhack += 1
_root.thumb_clip._alpha = 99
_root.thumb_clip.duplicateMovieClip("thumb_clip"+i, _global.levelhack);
_root["thumb_clip"+i]._x = piclocation_x
_root["thumb_clip"+i]._y = piclocation_y
_root["thumb_clip"+i].loadMovie(this["image"+i])
piclocation_x += 0
piclocation_y += 70
So, I have my text loaded into a scroll area, and my thumbnails in a vertical line at 70 pixel increments beside the text... (as the text entries are approximately 70 pixels / 3 lines worth each). Obviously though, the text content is scrollable and the images are just sitting on the stage next to the text area.

My problem is, I can't seem to load all this content into a scrollpane component or a masked scroll area because that means I have to imbed the text in order for it to display, and that seems to have the effect of not updating the text content when I send new requests to the database.

So basically, my problem is not loading the text and images how I want, but loading them into a scrollable area, and having that scrollable area refresh it's content when I send new requests to the database.

Any ideas? I am tearing my hair out over this!

I can supply source file if anyone requires it.

Many thanks in advance...

Scrollpane Won't Scroll Dynamic Content
In my project I have a scrollpane that contains a movie clip that loads a variable number of textfields. However, the scrollpane won't scroll this movie clip. My guess is that it is reading the size of the movie clip before the textfields are actually loaded, so it thinks it just has an empty MC in it. Any ideas on how to fix this or whatever the problem may be? I can get it to scroll if I put a big clear box in one of the clips, but the amount of scroll doesn't adjust to fit the data.

I've made sure my fonts are embedded. You can see that they are cause the masking is working and they look aliased.

I've included some code of what I'm trying to do. Basically on the main stage there is a scrollpane which has 3 nested MC's that generate the content.

Thanks a lot!

PS. This is my first time getting into Actionscript, so sorry if the code looks terrible. Also, I'm using Flash MX.

Dynamic Elastic Scroll Content
Hi

I am trying to make an easy to adjust scroll area for content - text & images.
so I can have custom button acting as a scroll bar which has that elastic effect (sort of content scroll ease in / out /slow down)
so something like here http://www.advanceflash.com
I've made similar stuff before but it was always way to hard to adjust once I added extra content (extra text or images)... so something that calculates the ration between the scrolling button and the size of the content so it's easy to add & remove extra content. Not sure how would this work with loading in dynamic text that gets changed often ?

thanks

It scrolls if there is something already in the content area but if content is loaded dynamically, as it is here, it doesn't work.

You need the FLA and the XML file.

Help W/ Custom Scroll Pane W/ Dynamic Content
Hello,
Im going to try my best to explain what I am trying to accomplish with this custom scroll.
First take a look at this picture of the scroll area: http://www.abeazleydesign.com/ARROW.gif

So in that picture you can see that I have a curved arrow wich will be the up and down buttons with a smooth grip moving along the curved vertical line connecting the two arrows. The green area is where the main scroll pane will reside. Now notice that the green area is smaller at the bottom nd larger at the top. So what i want the website to do is the following:
1: there will be three of my products (in a wire frame format) in the green area at any given time.
2: when the buttons (up or down) are pressed the products will scroll inside that green area accordingly.
3. while the products are scrolling up and down I want them to scale in relation to the boundry of the green area(ie: smaller at the bottom and larger at the top).
4. when a product is at the largest part of the green area and the user pushes the up button I want the product to scale up and move into the red area where the wire frame picture will morph into a color rendered rotating picture.

So with all that said I am tryint to figure out the best way to accomplish this. Is this something that can be totally done with action scripts or is it better to just set up each frame with motion tweens between them? I made the butons and set up a typical vertical gallery witht eh scroll buttons, but Im having a hard time figuring out the scaling of the pane content.
Any help would be appreciated.

How To Get The Properties Of Loaded Dynamic Content?
Hi everyone!

I got a serious question which could be answered very simple I think,
just don't know how...!

I'm making a website which loads dynamic data into a mc. This mc is the "page" which can be scrolled in the bounds of a masking mc on top of it. So after loading all the text/images/movies etc. into this mc "page" I need to know how big it's _height has become.
This is nessesary to the scroll the page properly.
[b]Example of my site:[B/]

Code:
_root_mc
|
|
+-masking_mc //covering page_mc
+-page_mc //Need it's _height for my scrollbar
|
|
+-image1_mc //Created with page_mc.createEmptyMoveClip();
| |
| +-bal.jpg //Attached to image1_mc with .loadMovie();
|
+-image2_mc //Same as image1_mc
| |
| +-boat.jpg
|
+-textField
I hear you all say: "try the page_mc._height you dummy!", but it seems Flash can't take the _width and _height properties of the loaded images and movies in the first place.

Image Not Getting Loaded In Dynamic Textfield
Hi,

I am creating a dynamic textfield(s) on to the stage..and loading image(s) inside each text field. But its not getting loaded/displayed inside a dynamic textfield.

Perhaps if i keep a dynamic textfield rather than creating it using createTextField method image is getting displayed perfectly. Here is the code i have tested with a sample file:

//----------- code begins here ------------------

this.createTextField("myImage", 1, 11, 18, 250, 200);
myImage.html = true;
myImage.selectable = false;
myImage.multiline = true;
myImage.border = true;

onLoad = function(){

//here image.jpg is not displayed/loaded
myImage.htmlText = "<img src='image.jpg'/>";

//here image.jpg is getting displayed/loaded
test.htmlText = "<img src='image.jpg'/>";

};

//-------------code ends here ----------

Has anyone faced this problem...please help me out..this is really weired

Scrollbar With Dynamic Textfield Loaded From XML
Hi again!

Ive created a dynamic textfield that loads textlines from a XML-file (very basic - just text), according to this turorial:
http://www.flashcircle.com/display.php?storyid=51

Then I tried to add a scroll-bar to the dynamic textfield according to this tutorial (just the simple drag-and-drop scrollbar):
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/textscroller.asp

But I cant get it to work. All I get is a scrollbar with no scrollingfunction. Do I have to add some sort of actions to the scroll (was under the impression that it was done automatically)?

Thanks.

Work Area Too Small For Dynamic Txt Content In A Custom Scroll Pane
I'm have alot of dynamic text (60 pages in MS Word!)that I want to cram in to a scroll pane. The code that I've used has worked fine for smaller jobs. It uses a mask for "content" that extends beyond the stage. My problem is that I've extended my text box so for I've run out of workspace! Is that a limitation of Flash or is it possible to have limitless workspace to put offstage content in?

How To Trace The Properties Of Dynamic Loaded Content
Hi everyone!

I got a serious question which could be answered very simple I think,
just don't know how...!

I'm making a website which loads dynamic data into a mc. This mc is the "page" which can be scrolled in the bounds of a masking mc on top of it. So after loading all the text/images/movies etc. into this mc "page" I need to know how big it's _height has become.
This is nessesary to the scroll the page properly.
[b]Example of my site:[B/]

Code:
_root_mc
|
|
+-masking_mc //covering page_mc
+-page_mc //Need it's _height for my scrollbar
|
|
+-image1_mc //Created with page_mc.createEmptyMoveClip();
| |
| +-bal.jpg //Attached to image1_mc with .loadMovie();
|
+-image2_mc //Same as image1_mc
| |
| +-boat.jpg
|
+-textField

I hear you all say: "try the page_mc._height you dummy!", but it seems Flash can't take the _width and _height properties of the loaded images and movies in the first place.

I need to trace the size of the loaded images/movies in there own mc's. So...

Can some tell me how to retrieve the:

_width
_height
.getBytesLoaded
.getBytesTotal

of the loaded images/movies??? You'd be the best!

Thanks already!

Loaded MC Not Displaying Dynamic Content In Main.swf
Hello,
I am trying to debug a flash project that utilizes loaded movieclips. I am loading several different swf files into 1 Main swf, but the dynamic content within the loaded swf's are not displaying. I can trace the content from the main swf, but the loaded swfs dynamic texts are not displaying within the main swf.

I am using loadMovie to load the swfs. Everything works fine other than displaying the content within the loaded swfs.

Any suggestions.

Content: InstanceName, no var Name.

Problem With Dynamic Loaded Content And DuplicateMovieClip()
Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an photo gallery which is driven by Flash/XML.
You navigate through the gallery with the mouse, basic slider navigation, I think the concept is known by everybody. The images and thumbnails are loaded via XML so the user can easily update the gallery.

My problem is now when I try to duplicate the movieclip with the thumbnails I only get an empty movieclip. What I'm doing wrong? I've also tried to create the movieclip with actionscript (createEmptyMovieClip) but this didn't worked either

Here's an preview:
http://www.wlkp.de/temp/xmlMenu.html

And here's the code:

ActionScript Code:
bilder=new XML();
bilder.ignoreWhite=true;
bilder.load("xml/bilder.xml");
bilder.onLoad = function(status) {
if(status) {
bilderGeladen = bilder.firstChild.childNodes;
delete bilder;
anzahl=bilderGeladen.length;
initNavi();
}
}

function initNavi() {
var j=0;
for(var i=0;i<anzahl;i++) {
tbName = "tb"+j;
_root.slider.tbHolder.attachMovie("tb_holder",tbName,j++);
if(bilderGeladen[i]!=undefined) {
_root.slider.tbHolder[tbName]._x = -92 + _root.slider.tbHolder[tbName]._width * j;
_root.slider.tbHolder[tbName]._y = 0;
_root.slider.tbHolder[tbName].thumb.loadMovie(bilderGeladen[i].attributes.tb);

}
}
_root.slider.tbHolder.duplicateMovieClip("tbHolder1");
_root.slider.tbHolder1._x=_root.slider._width;
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
xSlide=_root.slider._x;
wSlide=_root.slider._width;
if (_xmouse < 350) slider._x += (375-_xmouse)*0.05;
if (_xmouse > 400) slider._x += (375-_xmouse)*0.05;

}

Thanks for any held in advance!

Accessing A Dynamic Textfield That's Inside A Loaded Swf
so I loaded a swf onto my stage using the Loader Class.

so when I trace this:

trace(stage.getChildByName('_loader'));

it returns [object Loader].

Ok so far.

But suppose I want to access a dynamic textfield that's inside the swf I just loaded. How would I access it?

This throws an error:

code: stage.getChildByName('_loader').data_txt.text = 'test';

so does this:
code: stage.getChildByName('_loader').getChildByName('da ta_txt').text= 'test';

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adding Linebreaks To Dynamic Text Fields W/ XML Loaded Content
I'm having a problem inserting line breaks in my XML formatted text, and I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Here's a basic sample of my code

This is my XML

Quote:

//<infoContent>
//<sections>
//<content item="Experience" words="This is where I'm going to put my work experience... where there is a slash, I'd like to insert a linebreak or 'newline' / Adobe Photoshop: 8 years / Adobe Illustrator: 8 years / Adobe InDesign:3 years / Macromedia Flash: 6 years / Macromedia Dreamweaver: 5 years / Quark X-Press: 7 years "/>
//<content item="Other Stuff" words="This is where I'm going to put other stuff..."/>
//</sections>
//<resume>
//<work item="my_Resume.pdf" myLoc="information/my_Resume.pdf"/>
//</resume>
//</infoContent>

and this is my AS

Code:
_global.myContent=new Object();
//
parseXML = function () {
myContent.myTitle = info_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes
myContent.myWords = info_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes
myContent.myResume = info_xml.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].attributes.myLoc
};
I'm putting the content into an Object, and then when I need it to display in my text, I call it up.

Code:
this.myExperience_txt.text = myContent.myWords.childNodes[0].attributes.words
This works to get my content where I need it, but I'd like to break apart different sections of my XML content...

Is there a way to parse the content, find the character and replace it with "newline" or "/n"? do I do this while I'm parsing my XML or once I access the information into the textField?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
