Scroll News
hello everybody!
I would like to make a scroll of news that are loaded externally (html, xml, etc), that can use pixel fonts, and that the links that it contains can open in new windows (external sites) and also can control the flash movie (for example to load a new movie in my full flash site). I don't care if the scroll is a component, and finally I need that links in the news be different from text, and change color or underline (or something) on mouse over.
I'll really appreciate some help or suggestions.
thanx in advance.

(yes I know, my english is really bad... sorry for that)

TextArea Scroll Bar Doesnt Always Appear
hello,

please see http://www.vitalimpact.org/welcome.php

the scrollbars in the bottom right do not always appear. The content has not changed at all, but sometimes they appear, sometimes they dont. Here is my code:


ActionScript Code:
//init TextArea component
myWkMessage.html = true;
myWkMessage.wordWrap = true;
myWkMessage.multiline = true;
myWkMessage.depthChild0._visible = 0;
myWkMessage.embedFonts = true;
myWkMessage.setStyle = ("embedFonts", "standard 07_55, standard 07_55b, standard 07_55i, standard 07_55n");
fmtFormat = new TextFormat();
fmtFormat.font = "standard 07_55, standard 07_55b, standard 07_55i, standard 07_55n";
myWkMessage.setNewTextFormat(fmtFormat); 
/******************************/
//load css
kungFuStyle1 = new TextField.StyleSheet();
kungFuStyle1.load("/flashRaw/kungfu.css");
myWkMessage.styleSheet = kungFuStyle1;
 
/******************************/
//load in XML
kungFuContent1 = new XML();
kungFuContent1.ignoreWhite = true;
kungFuContent1.load("/blog/wkmessage.xml?t="+new Date().getTime());
kungFuContent1.onLoad = function(success)
{
    if(success)
    {
        myWkMessage.text = kungFuContent1;
    }
}


And the second textArea component loads on the same frame but on a different layer.


ActionScript Code:
//init TextArea component
myEvents.html = true;
myEvents.wordWrap = true;
myEvents.multiline = true;
myEvents.depthChild0._visible = 0;
myEvents.embedFonts = true;
myEvents.setStyle = ("embedFonts", "standard 07_55, standard 07_55b, standard 07_55i, standard 07_55n");
fmtFormat = new TextFormat();
fmtFormat.font = "standard 07_55, standard 07_55b, standard 07_55i, standard 07_55n";
myEvents.setNewTextFormat(fmtFormat);
/******************************/
//load css
kungFuStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
kungFuStyle.load("/flashRaw/kungfu.css");
myEvents.styleSheet = kungFuStyle;
/******************************/
//load in XML
kungFuContent = new XML();
kungFuContent.ignoreWhite = true;
kungFuContent.load("/blog/events.xml?t="+new Date().getTime());
kungFuContent.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        myEvents.text = kungFuContent;
    }
}


Any ideas?

Help: With A News Scroll, That Gets Info From Text Doc
Help: With a News Scroll, that gets info from text doc

******
EDIT:
Does not have to be a scroller, It can be a fade in and out thing or something eles also.... So it would do somthing like

Show newsitem1.text
fade newsitem1
show news2
fade 2
repeat
END EDIT:
*****


Okay, what Iam looking to do if possible, is make a flash object, that scroll's text in a *text field?*
----------

I know this can be done in action scripting, but since people in my Web design class dont know how to use flash......well

What I would like to do is have flash be the news scroller, but have the text field get info from a text document, that way the text document can be changed, while flash can be left alone, just reading from the updated text document.

Thanks!

How Do I Make A News Scroll Feeded By An RSS From For Example BBC?
I need to make a website for international relations students, I'm kind of a newbie, knowing few things about flash, although I've found lots of codes being sold on the internet, which claim to feed news, I'm not sure if they would work (and they are quite expensive). As of .FLA files in flashkit.com, none have worked or have been comprehensible for me to edit according to my needs. All I need is a newsfeed scrolling horizontally which can be easily edited in the source (BBC, CNN, etc...).

My Scroller Doesnt Scroll When I Load It Into Empty MC
i have a .swf(combobox.swf) that has a combobox on the scene. when the user selects something in the combobox it loads the selection into an empty movieclip (called "holder")on the scene. this part of the movie works fine. problem is....the movies that i want to be loaded have scrollers that load up txt from text file. that works fine too except that my up and down buttons do not work. however, the very same file (news.swf) scrolls just fine when it is viewed on its own. i cant figure this out? i guess when the news.swf movie is loaded into the empty movie clip the variables that define the up and down scrolling are not being passed
here is the URL to what i am working on

http://www.digitaldementia.ca/jimmyt...x/jsrouter.htm

if you select "movie3" the scroller will pop up on the scene but you will notice that it doesnt scroll!!!

i am also including all the files combobox.zip here:

Scroll If Loaded JPEG Doesnt Fit Target
Hi there,

Is it possible to read in the values of a jpeg once loaded into a target?

I would like to have it scroll over 2 seconds if its bigger than the specified target area.

Integrating PHP News With Flash Scroll Field
Hello,

I have been working on a site for a friend of mine for a couple weeks now, and have run into a slight problem. Hopefully someone on here would be willing to help me out.

The site in question is http://pbs.sentiencecomics.com. Basically, I was planning on using a txt file to update the news, but I recently found a database driven PHP system (http://www.vbshelf.com/index.php) that would work FAR better than the crude system I had in place previously.

The thing is, with this new system (http://pbs.sentiencecomics.com/index.php), I am unable to control the length of the rants my friend might post. I was wondering if it is possible to import the text from the database (loaded from a php file with the correct code, perhaps) into Flash and displayed in a scrollable box like on the original page.

I'm not exactly sure how this should be done though, any help/fingers pointing in the right direction would be well appreciated.

If I haven't been too clear, I'd be happy to clarify. Thanks,

Jared

Main_mc Scroll Window, Doesnt Work Inside Movie?
Hey yall,

I'm trying to get a scroll bar tutorial to work inside of a movie (meaning I have a movie instance named "home mov"). However, when I try to run the program, it doesn't load the text file or show anything at all. Here is the main action script that is supposed to load it:


Code:

function showText(message) {
main4.w_field4.htmlText = message;
if (main4.w_field4.maxscroll > main4.w_field4.scroll) {
main4.gotoAndPlay("scroll_loop4");
}
}
function checkVars(success) {
if (success) {
the_text = this.my_text;
gotoAndStop(141);
} else {
trace("file didn't load");
}
}



should i name it home mov.main4.w_field4.htmlText ??? ive tried a few variations and nothing works

Scrolling News Text Wont Scroll Off Screen Properly
Hello again -
I had some very useful help yesterday & got this news ticker working...
But one last thing eludes me -
How do I get the text to roll off the left of screen completely before returning from the right again?
I've tried loads of stuff but don't know what I'm doing!

Here's the code:

Code:
var loadText:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("news.txt");
loadText.onData = function(src:String):Void {
if (src != undefined) {
news_txt.htmlText = " "+src;
scrollText();
} else {
news_txt.htmlText = "could not load data";
}
};
function scrollText() {
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (news_txt.hscroll<news_txt.maxhscroll) {
news_txt.hscroll+=30;
} else {
news_txt.hscroll = 1;
}
};

}
Don't mind the speed of the text - it's just to get through it quicker for the sake of testing!

Anyone able to help?
I've included the files...

MC With Dynamic News
I have a Movie Clip with a dynamic text box in it. I want to have news and updates ect. in this movie clip through the dynamic text box. How would I go about setting up this dynamic text box so I can just update news ect. into it without having to go into flash 5 and typing text and exporting, than uploading it to the web page everytime I update?

Dynamic News
Can anyone explain how or point me towards a good reference to make a dynamic news section on my homepage. I'm looking for something that will be easily updated. I would also like to apply the same concept to a weekly schedule. The one I have now uses a component and I have to update a symbol in Flash which is quite time consuming.

If it helps/matters and do use PHP and have a basic understanding and am starting to get into MySQL. I'm not sure if you would even use either but just letting you know.

Any ideas?

Thanks yet again,

Dynamic News Box
Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial to make a general news box that is updated via XML. So far I have made a movie clip in my library that has 3 dynamic text fields that have the instance names date_txt, headline_txt, and article_txt. I export the movie clip for actionscript and give it a linkage ID. I get as far as scripting a loop that adds mulitple of these clips on the stage, evenly spaced, but I can't figure out how to populate each clip with unique data from an XML file. I am assuming another loop will do it.

Basically I want to add a movieclip to the stage (or another movie clip that is masked for scrolling purposes) for each news item in the XML file.

Any advice or links would be appreciated.

Scroll Bar Show Up If Needed And Only Scroll To Dynamic Text Input Bottom... HOW
I have attached a copy of my scroll bar that i am currently using how can i make the scroll bar not show up unless needed (really not all that important but would be nice.)

The important thing is that i can setup a dynamic text box inside my item_holder movie clip but my scroller always scrolls to the bottom of the scroll box not matter if inside my scroll box i have on line of text loaded dynamicly or i have 100. So if i have 1 line of text and a large dynamic text box the scroll bar will scroll to the bottom of the scroll box even though it only has one line. See attachment and see if anyone can help. Thanks in advance. Brian

Dynamic News Section
Hey people!

Having major problems with the news section of a site and vrunning out of time 'till deadline, I'm in seriously need of help.

My question is, if anyone can point me to, or give me a direct link to more or less "ready to go" news kit for flash...

I want to write the news in a txt file that will be loaded into flash, displaying the news in one scrollable MC of variable size. The txt file can't be too complicated though, as the comming admins of this site has NO idea whatsoever of ANY programming language.

Date and Headline should preferably be bold and news text, just plain.

Isn' it possible to dynamically create (or attach) one MC for every news item/article without opening the FLA every time an item is added to the txt file?...

Hope all this is understandable.
Thanks in advance guys (...and gals!)

Dynamic News Page
HI, Please can someone help me, I need to create a news page which is populated by data in a database. The news page will contain a news headline and then a body of text (article). To view the article a user will have to click on the headline.

Any ideas how I can go about this? I am thinking I will have a asp page behind the swf which holds the information. I will not know how many news articles there are before hand.

Plaese help....

apologies for the long post. The only other thing that he has code in is the enterframe movie clip which is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_parent.frameAction();
}

I have no idea what the problem is. I keep everything the same and I have looked over the code to see if I needed to change anything. I'm also a novice at actionscripting so I'm stumped. Can any of you give me a hand with this? It would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Dynamic News System Help Please
I am trying to create a dynamic news system with the assistance of PHP and mySQL. Basically, I want to create like an archive, so that when a new news item is added, it will be added onto the list, and a button will be created in flash that will use a goto action to display the news. How can I go about dynamically creating a button?

Been stumped for hours! Please help, thanks!

Dynamic News Generator
Does anyone have any ideas on how the news section of this site was created?

http://www.bigspaceship.com/

I'm a pretty intermediate user of Flash, but I can't quite figure out how to generate those entries dynamically. And I also can't figure out how the did the mouseovers for the links within the text.

Any help or suggestions on how to get started with something like this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dynamic News Section
Hey people!

Having major problems with the news section of a site and vrunning out of time 'till deadline, I'm in seriously need of help.

My question is, if anyone can point me to, or give me a direct link to more or less "ready to go" news kit for flash...

I want to write the news in a txt file that will be loaded into flash, displaying the news in one scrollable MC of variable size. The txt file can't be too complicated though, as the comming admins of this site has NO idea whatsoever of ANY programming language.

Date and Headline should preferably be bold and news text, just plain.

Isn' it possible to dynamically create (or attach) one MC for every news item/article without opening the FLA every time an item is added to the txt file?...

Hope all this is understandable.
Thanks in advance guys (...and gals!)

Dynamic News Ticker?
Hello all,

Due to a recent hard drive crash I have lost most of my .fla's. I just happen to lose a flash news ticker that I once had that read either a .txt file or was xml that just simply scrolled news/links.

I Googled the topic and found a bunch of tickers but none of them will allow my client to just update the ticker by editing a .txt file.

* Does anyone know where I could get a free ticker like this without buying the one from Flashloaded?

Thank you so much !

Dynamic News Menu
I'm trying to mimic the scrollable Movie Clip menu that's featured on sites like Work Rocks.

I imagine that there's some XML involved and possibly a critical 'for' loop.

Any ideas?

(Hint: I want a dynamically loaded menu)

Thanks in advance

[f8] Dynamic News Editor
Anyone know if its possible to pull in an entire html page? Or an RSS new feed? I want to be able to have the news pull in dynamically from a source like WordPress. So that way when I edit the news and it goes to the rss feed, it will display the entire news entry.

I've seen it done where the text came into a dynamic textbox and was from an html page.. and they rendered the text as HTML?

Could I some how do something like this? Or is that complicated? I'm very new and I don't have the best understanding of this..

Any help would be awesome!!!!

How Do I Do XML Dynamic News Article ?
What im trying to do, is have a scrollable text field for the main portion of my page , it will be right in the middle. The news should be scrollable within the text box , which i know how to do i think. Only problem is , the way i did it on my first page i had to keep adding the text into the action script bar, in flash.

I would like to be able to highlight certain words and maybe even add a graphic into the text like a grey bar for where the article title will go. I also want some words to be able to get linked to other sites or other places in my site. I dont think i have anyway of adding these into the variable lines in action script. The text was not even color changeable when i did it that way.

So what im asking is , if anyone can point me in the right direction to use XML so i can have it dynamically change as i edit the xml file, and how would i go about linking it to the text field ?

You can view what i have so far to maybe give you a better idea of what im going for. The Blue Box in center middle of page is where the news will go. I have it in html and swf

This should be scrollable within itself , like on the site David has the animationshoppe thing. If anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it... Thanks

Dynamic Scrollpane News Box
I'm trying to find a way to have a scrollpane that loads dyanmic text either from SQL Server or from XML.  I've seen it done alot, but can't seem to figure it out.  Fairly new to Flash, using MX pro 2004.  If anyone can point to a tutorial, download, or other, that would be appreciated.  I did several searches through the backlogs on here, but didn't find what i was looking for.

Dynamic News Reader Help...
I'm creating a dynamic "news reader" type of thing. When finished, it will read news items from an XML document, dynamically create enough clips to fill the stage vertically, and then every few seconds scroll on it's own, deleting the top item, sliding everything else up one spot, and creating a new item at the bottom to house the next item. Pretty straightfoward...

The problem is I'm drawing an absolute blank about how to accomplish this! I've set up a dummy version to work it out, but I just don't know where to go after "initializing" the screen. Basically, I want to make it so that when you press the down arrow, the top clip is deleted, everything slides up to the top of the page, and new clips are added to the bottom to fill up the remaining space.

Here is what I've worked up. If someone could take a peak and give me some ideas on how to accomplish this I'd appreciate it! I'm getting a little bleary-eyed looking at code!

Dynamic News Ticker
Hi,

I'm trying to create a vertically scrolling news banner, where the text is an external XML file. Each news story scrolls up and pauses, then moves on to the next one. I have already managed to load in this text into a dynamic text box with a scroll bar (but don't want that). I have seen some tutorials, but they're not really what I'm after. Also seen a little app that does what I want, but I want to able to code it myself -
http://www.scriptocean.com/flashn.html

Any help much appreciated!
