Anyone Seen Or Made An HTML News Scroller In Flash?
Hey there, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to make a scrolling news ticker (horizontal) in Flash that pulls in from a text file and displays HTML still.

So far I can only figure out how to make a scroller that parses the text string letter by letter and then scrolls them, but this won't allow for links or HTML formatting. Anyone ever seen this done, or have done it yourself?

Thanks much!

Text Scroller Help - Scroller Won't Scroll Full Length Of Text?
I have a text scroller that calls for a external text file. I have 16 numbered items in the .txt file but only 12 items will scroll. Why is this and how do I fix it? Also, is there any way to format text in the .txt file so that it appears formatted in flash? Right now there is a bunch of spaces between the numbered items. Thanks anyone!!

Convert Movieclip Scroller To Dynamic Text Scroller
I have code I borrowed that is set up to scroll a movie clip image. However, it doesn't work well if I replace the graphics with a text box as the scrolling becomes "jerky" as I think there is too much information for it to process with the complexity of the text. So I was hoping to change the scrolling content from a movie clip image with text to a dynamic textbox. But it will not function when I do that change. In this currrent setup, the movieclip instance name is "contentmain". I tried naming the instance of the dynamic textbox with that name, but no text shows up next to the scroller when I play the movie.

Here's the code:
scrolling = function () {

var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrac._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrac._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrac._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrac._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrac._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);

// Setup easing event
contentMain.desiredX = contentMain._y;
contentMain.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= (this._y - this.desiredX) / 3;
};

scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain.desiredX = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
};
};
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};

btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
if (scrollFace._x<=left) {
scrollFace._x = left;
} else {
scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = left;
contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnUp.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x-speed>finalContentPos) {
if (scrollFace._x>=right) {
scrollFace._x = right;
} else {
scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = right;
contentMain._x = finalContentPos;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnDown.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};

if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;
}
};
scrolling();

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Flash Text Scroller
Hi All

I am looking for Flash Text scroller from left to right. I need to be able to specify a width, height, font style e.g. colour and font and size. The scroller also needs to be able to be pulled from either a text file or XML file, so that the client will be able to change the content of the scroller via an ASP.Net admin side. The scroll also needs to be continuous and have no break. But if possible it needs to have break with a small image between the text.

If anybody can help with this it would be wicked. Thanks.

Help Needed With Flash 4 Text Scroller
I am trying to make a text scroller that scrolls sections of type at a time instead of line by line. Also I am wanting to have more control over the way the type looks, paragraphs, line breaks, etc. currently I have a scroller using the tutorial found in the tutorials section. So far this is the only technique that i've seen used. I tried using tell target, but I must be doing something wrong, because that's not working. If you want to see what i'm talking about: http://www.oymdesign.com
click on the capabilites link and then on marketing and then click on the tab in the top right hand corner.

thanks for your help

Dynamic Flash Text Scroller?
Hi, I need to create a text "scroller" for headlines on a website, that moves vertically (up and down) not horizontally (left to right) and brings in text dynamically from a text file. I know that dynamic text can be brought into a flash movie for a scroller horizontally, but can you create a text scroller box that moves Vertically? I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks!

[F8] Flash Auto-Scroller Text
Hi - could someone quickly explain to me or point me to a tutorial which shows me how to create a text scroller?

Flash Text Scroller Code Help
hey everyone,

i have a text scroller here (friendly to pixel fonts) that i want to modify, but i'm not sure the easiest way to go about it.

see the attached .fla -

now, i want to be able to click anywhere on the grey bar, and have the white scroll box follow to that point (with easing, if possible). right now, the only way to scroll, is to grab the white scroll box and drag it to a chosen position. i'd like to break up the grey bar into sections so that each section will correspond to a position of the scroller. in other words, click on bottom of scroll bar, the text scrolls to the bottom, click on top of scroll bar, text scrolls to the top.

i've look at the AS, but i'm not sure what to change. any help would be fantastic.

thanks a million!!

Importing Txt As HTML AND Using The Scroller Component
OK... I've been beating myself silly trying to get a .txt file to import as HTML (need to use links) AND use the scroller component. I've tried the LoadVar, and a script from a friend that consists of:

loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("copy.txt");

loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");

scroller.text = this.textField;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};

I can get the scroller component to work with this script, but it will not load the txt file as HTML.

I also tried to use the hyperField.html=true; at the beginning, and that doesn't import the .txt file as HTML.

Merely clicking on the HTML activation property button doesn't solve the issue either... Any ideas??? THANKS!!!

Stylish Scroller That Loads External HTML
I am looking for a decent looking scroller FLA that loads External files. SO everytime I want to add content to the scroller I can just upload the HTML file on the server instead of upading the FLA file. I haven't found something easy to use and stylish.

MC Scroller Html Textfield/character Problem
Hi Guys,

I'm having an issue with the display of html-text and special characters in an
Mc scroller clip...(I think the problem lies inside the "depth path" of the textfield ..in this clip...)

like for example the letter "é" in my dynamic textfield
also bold function, making html links etc etc doesn't work...

I can't narrow it down

i've tried "system usecodepage=true" but this function ...is'nt appropriate for what I want

Just plain html-text with special character support... would be great

I attached the .fla (8) file

Hope someone can help me out!!

Best

Arn

TEXT CHANGING, When I Copy And Paste Text Scroller, And Add New Text......?
here's the problem:

I have a text scroller I took from a fla. file on here.
on my site, I wanted to just change the text. in the text scroller, and
place it in diffrent sections of my site a number of times with diffrent text.

I do not have a problem, copying and pasting the scroller.
But when I change the text from one section, to the next, it will make all the text the same.

If I copy the scroller and paste it somewhere else, swap the text it will change all to that last text I entered.

I tried, typing one section's text. Then copy/pasting the scroller, and putting new text, and converting that text to a symbol (graphic). Hoping it would work but had no LUCK.

This is huge and i need help, considering I am a newbie, there has got to be away this can be accomplished so I dont have to build seperate text holders/scroller, for all 15 sections of my site.

Let me know..and thank you all so much.

[MX04] External Html With Embeded Font And Scroller
Hi all,
I have a problem using scrollBar component. Well, it worked fine before but then I tried to embed (link from library) a font to externally loaded html and the scroller gets really small like there is a huge amount of extra text. My html text is loaded via variables and is ended with another &var=end

Code:
stop();
var loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
var my_fmttt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
loadVarsText.load("grancanaria.html");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
my_fmttt.font = "arial12";
scroller.wordWrap = true;

scroller.multiline = true;
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var3;
scroller.embedFonts = true;
scroller.setTextFormat(my_fmttt);
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};

Does anyone know what is wrong ?

Cheers in advance

Adding HTML Functionality To Billy T's Dynamic Scroller
I've been working with the dynamic scroller Billy T created.

I've created scrollers in the past that use a txt file and have ability to underline, href, etc but I believe this code doesn't allow that because of textFormat code. Could somebody take a peek and let me know if its possible.

Thank you the code is below:

ActionScript Code:
// code by Billy T
// initialise some positions
textBwidth = 348;
textBheight = 200;
theMask._height = 100;
// set this to whatever you want
theMask._width = 348;
theMask._x = 0;
theMask._y = 0;
dragger._x = Math.round(theMask._width);
dragger._y = 0;
theText._x = 0;
theText._y = 0;
border._width = theMask._width+dragger._width;
border._height = theMask._height;
border._x = 0;
border._y = 0;
// set a variable
targY = 0;
// set the drag action of the dragger
// drag is restricted to the height of the mask
dragger.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this, false, this._x, 0, this._x, theMask._height-this._height);
};
// stop the drag
dragger.onRelease = dragger.onReleaseOutside=function () { stopDrag();};
// set the mask for the text
theText.setMask(theMask);
// the scrolling animation
theText.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set a variable
// this variable basically stores info regarding what fraction of the total text
// is being displayed through the mask and ensures that dragging the dragger
// from top to bottom will reveal all the text.
// this allows you to change the amount of text and the scroller will update itself
//
scrollAmount = (theText._height-(theMask._height/1.3))/(theMask._height-dragger._height);
// adjust the height of the dragger to reflect the amount of content available to see
dragger._height = theMask._height/scrollAmount;
// set a new target y position
targY = -dragger._y*scrollAmount;
// set the y of the text to 1/5 of the distance between its current y and the target y
// change the 5 to a lower number for faster scrolling or a higher number for slower scrolling
// Math.round() keeps it on a whole pixel number - good for pixel fonts
this._y -= Math.round((this._y-targY)/5);
};

The code which formats the text is:

ActionScript Code:
this.createTextField("theTextBox", 1, 0, 0, _parent.textBwidth, _parent.textBheight);
theTextBox.textColor = "0x000000";
theTextBox.selectable = false;
theTextBox.wordWrap = true;
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.font = "thaFont";
myTextFormat.size = 8;
theTextBox.embedFonts = true;
loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.load("content.txt");
loadData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
theTextBox.text = loadData.theText;
theTextBox.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
theTextBox.autosize ="center";
} else {
trace("failed");
}
};
