Linking Text Buttons In Scroll To Image Outside Scroll Area
Hi,
I am desperately hitting my head against a brick wall - so please help me!
I have created a flash area that is divided up with an image on top and a scroll area under.
I am trying to get the text buttons in the scroll area to each change the image above and cant seem to get it to work because of the masking.
I have tried heaps and heaps of different ways and am going crazy!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
thanks,

Dynamic Text For Multiple Buttons W/ Scroll Buttons/bar
HELP! I know a similar question to this has appeared multiple times before, but here is my situation:
i have four buttons, each of which will load a a separate text file into a dynamic text field (ie: button A to textfield 1, button B to textfield 1).
The other trick is, this also has a custom scroll bar. (I would rather just use an up and down arrow, but if i have to use a bar as well, I will not be too distraught.)
Is there a way that I can have all the text files loads in a dynamic text field PLUS have a scroll bar to aid with scrolling.
Any help would be greatly appriciated. I have been trying to figure this out for about a week now, and am still no where.

ps: i am a designer, and for some reason, programming, even of the most simple nature, still eludes me. so please take pity me
Scroll Box Buttons - Constant Scroll?
Yo,
I've made a scrolling text box, but I cant figure out how to have it so when I simply hold my cursor over the up or down scroll button the text box will constantly scroll in the corresponding direction. I've tried while/for/do loops and I'm stuck, how would you do this utterly simple task?
Also, does anyone know how to make a working scroll bar? One that a user can click like a real windows environment window?
Scroll Bar With Buttons To Pics That Don't Scroll
Hi, I'm trying to make a scroll bar that has buttons in it, so that when you click on one of the buttons a pic shows up in the back ground...Trouble is that My pictures scroll also with the bar and I would like for them to stay stationary behind the scroll bar...Does this make any sense?
Thx Ezekiel
Emulating NEXT Buttons In AS Instead Of Scroll Buttons
Hope some one here can help more than my bosses
The guy at the top has decided that after careful consideration He doesn't want the dynamic text in the text areas of the new site to scroll _ it is confusing he says.
We should make it next buttons instead.
I don't want to have to embed all the text from the text file into the swf as the weight of the swf is already too big.
Can anyone suggest a work around for this please
Thank you in advance for your help,

Scroll Box And Buttons
iposted this in the newbie section, but nobody wanted to help me..hopefully someone in here will...
okay, so i started my first flash project..=)
problem is i have followed a tutorial on scrolling text boxes, and got it working after some time...
now i want the images inside the scroll box to be linked to movie that should appear on a different frame of that scene.
i have created buttons for the images that i want linked, but they will not work. it just stays on the same frame. I have tried changing the actions of the button to go to a url to test it and it works. But, when i try to link it to the same scene and a differnet frame number, it will not. Help!..
I have posted the movie here:
http://166.93.97.127/studio.html
I have tried to link the second and third images in the "our work" section. i want to have them all linked to their own movies on their own frames in the end. So if someone could help me out with at least one of the buttons, it would be much appreciated as I am sure i can follow along and get the rest working!!
I have also upload the fla I am using at
http://166.93.97.127/studio.fla if anyone wants to see it. I didn't think that this would be too complicated, but it has gotten me stuck. I am sure it is something simple that I don't know about yet. Thanks in advance!!
Scroll Buttons
This may sound a bit lame to some of you but I'm just getting started on Actionscripting. I have 2 buttons on the main stage (600 x 300), up and down, I have a MC in the main stage (depth 1000) with a mask above it. All I want to do is on mouse over make the MC go smoothly up or down and stop at top or bottom and for the other button to know where the MC is at when going in the other direction so that it too can stop at the top or bottom. To be honest, at the moment I don't even care if it stops or not as I can't even get it to move in the first place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Buttons That Scroll?
I've seen a site where a person put buttons with arrows either going up or down. When I rollover the down arrow it scrolls the text downward and when I rollover the up arrow it scrolls the text upward. How does he do that? Is that all scripting? I want to learn how to do it for my site. Someone help me out please. THANKS!
Scroll Buttons
I am using version 5.
How can I make buttons that are shaped as triangles and are separate from each other to scroll a text box that has the code displayed below? The buttons are in a movie clip with the text box.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this.loadVariables("textPolicy.txt");
Policy = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Policy) {
// Text is loaded
Policy = false;
}
}
The text box code is on the movie clip not the text box itself.

Scroll Bar With Buttons...
I've been searching the tutorials, but I'm not sure I can find exactly what I am looking for.
What I want is---> some images lined up that can be scrolled horizontally...each image is a link to something, so they need button properties.
One of the tutorials I read referred to having to create a movie clip in order for it to scroll, which I understand...but I need each scrolling image to have their own properties. Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance

Scroll Buttons
I have scroll buttons on my site that seem to work only after I go to a certain page. The site is done in Flash MX 2004 and the address is www.joshdamongoldberg.com. The site is built within the main movie and each page is loaded into the main .swf. The scroll does not work unless I click on the Works on Paper link. If I use the scroll on that page the scroll works site wide, but it will not work on the other pages until it is used on the Works on Paper page. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
Scroll Buttons
the site is back up and I am still having problems with the scroll
Scroll Buttons
do you know what it could be, maybe something to do with the root movie

yes, the only difference is the instance name on the movie clip
Scroll Buttons
Hi all
I have a little problem thats probably easy to sort out but my mind is like mush at the moment
I am using the following code on a scroll button
on (press) {
myText.scroll = myText.scroll += 1;
}
this works fine...ish but what I'd really like is that when you press the button it scrolls the textfield continuously until you stop pressing.
Is theire a stupidly ovbvious command that I have missed?
Look forward to some help on this
cheers
Scroll Buttons
Hi all, hope someone here can help with this small action script problem?
I have created two scroll buttons (up and down) and placed them next to a graphic with a mask layer over the top of it. I then used the code
on (release) {
press._y = press._y-10;
}
for the down button and..
on (release) {
press._y = press._y+10;
}
for the up button.
This gives the impression the graphic is actually scrolling. The problem is I want the graphic to scroll as I hold the button down and not have to press it over and over again. Also I would then need to specify when it should stop scrolling and go no further?
Hope someone can help as i'm totally stumped!

Scroll And Buttons
q)Is there any function in flash to make the screen scroll with a large background covering 2 screen sizes?
q) when loading movie clips on screen I am using _visible property set to false when making them dissappear, is this the standard way or do you need to unload the bitmap image in the movieclip?
Scroll Mc Buttons
I have this code which works great for scrolling an mc horizontally depending on the mouse position:
Code:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
};
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
}
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/400));
}
};
}
stop();
The problem is my client now just wants a right and left button above the mc to do the same thing instead of the mouse position. (in other words "scroll right" button and "scroll left" button) But the scrolling has to stop when it reaches the right and left edges of the horizontally long mc.
Scroll Buttons....
Please can somebody help me, I've got some buttons that I use to scroll through a block of text 18 lines at a time. They work perfectly, but I want to change them so that they scroll continuously until somebody releases the mouse. At the moment they are set to:
on (press) {
this.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll = this.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll-18;
}
I tried to change it to:
on (press) {
this.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll = this.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll--;
}
but then it didn't work at all.
If it's easiler I don't mind changing it to RollOver and adding a RollOut although I tried adding:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrollUp) {
if (_root.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll < _root.scrollPrivacy_txt.maxscroll) {
_root.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll++;
}
}
if (scrollDown) {
if (_root.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll >1) {
_root.scrollPrivacy_txt.scroll--;
}
}
}
to the movieclip containing the buttons and then:
on (rollOver) {
scrollDown = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
scrollDown = false;
}
and
on (rollOver) {
scrollUp = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
scrollUp = false;
}
to the buttons, but again this didn't work.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Scroll Buttons
I searched, read the tutorials so now I'm hoping I missed something. I want to create a vertical scroll bar with buttons that will act as links to open other swf.
Check out the links section on this site, http://www.n-gised.com/ . I'm aiming for something similar but hoping to use an alpha fade with mouse over on the links and use an action like this on the link:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("intro.swf");
}
I looked at the tutorial on this site entitled, Links in a Dynamic Text Box. I don't just want to have HTML links within the scroller that open a new browser window.
Is it possible to have buttons in a scrollbar, surely there is a thread somewhere here that I've missed?
Thanks
Scroll Buttons Again
I've posted before on same topic but now I'n including some code. My buttons look like this, loading an external .txt file with LoadVars.
filosofiMC.onRelease = function () {
_level0.myLV.load ("_text/omVårYoga/swe_filosofi.txt");
loadedInfo._alpha = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (loadedInfo._alpha <100) {
loadedInfo._alpha += 10; } }
reEnableMeny ();
this.enabled = false;
resetMeny ();
this.gotoAndStop (7);
}
Anyone know how I make my scroll buttons (not visible in this code, but they are called "scrollUp" and "scrollDown"), dissappear when not needed? Tried to follow some tutorials in here but no luck.

Rolling Your Own Scroll Buttons
I am trying to scroll a ruler graphic that I made up in Flash. I can easily get it to scroll down when I hold down the button and then it stops when I release it. But I can't figure out how to get the ruler to reverse course which means play backwards.
Scroll down button (works):
on (press) {
play();
}
on(release) {
stop();
}
Scroll back button (doesn't work):
on (press) {
count = 0;
do {prevFrame();
} while (count !=1);
}
on(release) {
stop();
}
Buttons In A Scroll Pane
How exactly do buttons and target paths work when the button resides in a scrollpane. I have a list in one scroll pane which needs to control the content in another scrollpane - but I can't seem to figure out how to target the content pane. The list is just a single pane on the main timeline and the conent is 34 "keyframed" scrollpanes in a movie clip called "content". When I click, for example the third button on the menu I need it to target the third frame in the "content" movie clip.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
