Flash :: Flash Scrollbar Instead Of Browser Scrollbar

Full Browser Flash, Vertical Scrollbar Just Like Browser?
In short:
http://www.subdisc.com/
Look at the right scrollbar, how do I accomplish this?

The height of my site site is bigger than the Stage.height.
I could use a browser scrollbar via Java, but since I want to be free in design of every component I would rather use a flash scrollbar.
But how?

Moving Browser Scrollbar From Within Flash
Guys,

I'm using the following code to move the browser scrollbar to the top of the page on the release event for a normal button.

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");
}

Although it compiles fine, it doesnt do anything. Does anybody know whats up???

Browser Scrollbar Hates Flash
Ok, so check this out. Open this link in a 1024X768 or smaller browser. The side menu buttons work normally(and when scrolled all the way to the bottom), but when you scroll with the browser scrollbar, the hit states seem to stay "stuck" to the bottom.

http://joekromer.com/rob/

If opened on a larger resolution and the browser does not need to scroll, the buttons work fine.

If it matters, I am placing all my clips with attachMovie and entering their x and y values.

Thanks,

Flash Losing Focus When Using Browser Scrollbar?
I've made a simple nav bar with Flash CS3. It's at the top of a simple php page. In Firefox if you load the page and click a link from the flash nav bar right away it is fine. If you use the browser scrollbar or scroll with your mouse wheel first flash loses focus and you have to click on it to get it to work again.

Is there anything I can do to change this? It doesn't happen in IE.

Thanks,
Susan

Flash Scrollbar That Resizes To Browser Window
Hi

Can anyone help me create a scrollbar in flash that would resize to the browser window. Below is part of the script I have. thanks

txt.setMask(mask)

scrollbar.onMouseDown = function() {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse) && txt._height>mask._height) {
this.startDrag(false, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._y, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._height-this._height)
txt.onEnterFrame = scrollThumbs;
dragging = true
}

};
scrollbar.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag()
dragging = false
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
function scrollThumbs() {

var funkyVar = -this._parent.scrollbar._y*(((this._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height)/(this._parent.scrollbarBG._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height))-1)
this.Y = (funkyVar-this._y)*.2;
this._y += this.Y;
if(Math.abs(funkyVar-this._y)<1 && !dragging){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}

}

Flash Movie Height & Browser Scrollbar
I have an image gallery with a bunch of thumbnails displayed on the page in a grid-like layout. Currently, the swf sits in a HTML page set at 100% width and height. There's a resize listener that adjusts the layout so that the thumbnails all fit on the page at once. So, as the browser window gets narrower, the columns decrease and rows increase as the thumbnails get pushed down the page.

The problem is, once the thumbnails get pushed far down far enough to go past the bottom of the browser, the overflow is hidden and the thumbs "below the fold" are not accessible.

Is there a way to pass the dynamic height of the SWF, so that the browser detects whether or not it should display the side scroll bar?

Browser Scrollbar Scrolls Content Inside A Flash Doc?
Hi there,

I have just been using a site whereby the actual browser scrollbar was controlled by the flash window (it wasnt a fake scroll bar, it was the actual browser bar)

Anyway, there was a list of flash table data inside a flash doc, that when the scrollbar was dragged, this content was scrolled and the frame work of the site remained in place (like a frameset)

I had a look a the code and found this...... does it inspire anyone as to how they have done this?

//var container=document.getElementById('CONTAINER');
var flashDIV=document.getElementById('ONE');
var SWF=document.getElementById('RWONE');
var scroller=document.getElementById('SCROLLER');
var flashHeight=document.getElementById('FHEIGHT');
var username="steve";
function getUser(){return username;}
scroller.onscroll = scrolled;
// ]]>

Thanks to any help in advance!

Flash Dynamic Scrollbar Determined By Browser Width
Hi everybody,

I've been asked to recreate a scrolling panel in flash, very similar to the one on:

www.un.titled.co.uk

My client likes the way that whichever window width you choose, the panel re-adjusts itself. Can you see how the scrolling mechanism is somehow relative to the window width?

I guess it's done in actionscript but I can't figure out where to start. Does anybody have any way of doing this?

Many thanks,

Tom

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Scrollbar Problem - How To Load Text And Have The Scrollbar Default To Bottom Onload?
Hi,

I am currently working on a project whereby I need to display text in a scrollable area that refreshes every 2 seconds. I have the text loading ok but there is some extra functionality that I require.

At the moment I have a PHP application that uploads text files and adds the latest comment to the end of each text file. If you open the text file you can see the older comments at the top and the latest comments at the end. In the flash movie, I need the text file to load and the scrollbar to default to the bottom of the flash movie - that way, the latest comments will appear at the bottom of the screen and you can scroll up to the older comments.

I am not sure how to do this as I have just used the built in Flash components to get what I have so far.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin

Scrollbar Doesn't Work (tutorial: Object-oriented Scrollbar)
(tutorial --> object-oriented scrollbar: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=71).

I followed the tutorials instructions and this is the code that i have now:

import caurina.transitions.*;

var yOffset:Number;
var yMin:Number = 0;
var yMax:Number = sb.track.height - sb.thumb.height;

sb.thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, thumbDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, thumbUp);

function thumbDown(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, thumbMove);
yOffset = mouseY - sb.thumb.y;
}

function thumbUp(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, thumbMove);
}

function thumbMove(e:MouseEvent):void
{
sb.thumb.y = mouseY - yOffset;
if(sb.thumb.y <= yMin)
sb.thumb.y = yMin;
if(sb.thumb.y >= yMax)
sb.thumb.y = yMax;
var sp:Number = sb.thumb.y / yMax;
Tweener.addTween(content, {y:(-sp*(content.height-masker.height)),
time:1});
e.updateAfterEvent();
}

Does anybody see what's going wrong? I'm a beginner beginner, so all could think of to do is check if everything was typed correct. (i double checked instance names and code). But can't seem te get it to work, nothing happens when i preview swf.
No compilers errors and no syntax error. Tweener class is installed properly. PLEASE help me i've been looking for hours now.
If someone could help me, would be great!!

Sorry for my english, thank you for your time.

Browser Scrollbar Issue
Hi everyone, I am having an issue with browser scrolling. The website is this http://www.jesterlabs.com/working2.html and basically all I want is to make it scroll with lower resolutions (right now I get no scrollbars period.), like 800x600 or 1024x768. This is the code I am using in flash:

Stage.align = "T"; // Position the movie at top, center
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // Prevent scaling (required!)

// Create the listener object
resizeListener = new Object();
resizeListener.onResize = function () {
trace("New width: " + Stage.width);
};
Stage.addListener(resizeListener);

While in my html doc I have it set for 100%:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move Browser's Scrollbar Down
I am just a week new to actionscript and I need to handle a problem for a site I am developing.

There is this case when the user might have a 15" monitor, assuming he/she uses 800x600 screen resolution. How can I make the browser's (internet, mozilla or whtv) scroll bar go to the bottom or somewhere half way. Can this be done?? I already know how to check for the screen resolution, I only need a way to access the scroll bar position.

Browser Scrollbar When 100%x100%
Hi,

I've searched around in these forums and I didn't find a direct answer to my problem. See I’ve got this flash movie which is build for screens with 1280x1024 resolution, and it is centred in the browser. Nothing wrong there, works and looks good.
But now when users with 1024x768 (or lower) resolution visit the site they’ll not see the whole thing, and are missing out on some of the menus. The browser scrollbars doesn’t show up when the dimension is 100%x100%, so the users with 1024x768 (or lower) can’t navigate throughout the site.
When using match movie for dimension the flash movie doesn’t centre in the web browser but the scrollbar does appear.

The simplest way is to make the browser scrollbars appear…And if someone can tell me how to do that and still get the movie centred in the browser, I’ll probably go with that…even though it doesn’t look that good =P
…But I was wondering if there’s some way to “shrink” the flash movie if the user has a lower screen resolution? I.e. if user screen resolution 1024x768 = flash movie 75% of original.
Though that will probably look horrible… =P

I’m using Firefox by the way.

Browser Scrollbar Scripting?
I've done a bit of research and still not to sure how exactly to do this...

If you have a fullscreen flash site, by default your browser scrollbar is disabled. So if someone's screen is smaller than the site, they can't scroll to see whats off the page. How do you enable the browser scrollbar with a fullscreen flash site?

Can I Limit The Browser Scrollbar?
Last edited by myles724 : 2007-06-29 at 02:17.

I have a movie that is 2000px in height and some objects are duplicating vertically adding up by 100px. Say I have 5 objects so there is only 500px of content, is there anyway to use javascript from flash to limit the scrollbar to 500px instead of the full 2000?

Heres an example. Change the width and watch the column narrow and the scroll bar expand http://www.defunker.com/

Using AS To Move Browser Scrollbar
In html documents, you can redirect the browser's scrollbar to relocate the page to different places within the same page using named anchors.

In Flash, is there a way to make the browser window scroll to the top of the page after a link is clicked?

My site uses dynamically loaded .swf's into a container, so there are no html refreshes.

Thank you

Browser Type Scrollbar With Buttons
Hello.

Thanks for viewing my post.

Was wondering if anyone knows of any movies and/or tutorials that may help in adding a functioning scrollbar with buttons (like those commonly found in browsers) that can be easily implemented within/or added to an existing list of movie clip buttons.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Changing Color Of Browser Scrollbar
Hi

I know this is more an html/javascript question but I am stuck.

I want to change the color of the scrollbars in Internet Browser to match my website's color theme. I have tried scripts but nothing has changed.

The last script I got was this:
<style type="text/css">
body {
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-base-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-face-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
}
</style>

Where do I paste it(in the <head> of the index page)?

Also I want the colors to be green and have tried changing the hexidecmal codes to #336633 etc. Will the numbers work or does it have to be the letters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Space Bar Controls Browser Scrollbar Instead...
Hi all,

There's a slight problem with the opening frame of my movie. It prompts the user to press space bar to continue to the movie's next frame. There's a button to which I've attached the ActionScript:

on (keyPress "<Space>") {gotoAndPlay("menu");

The script works fine. The problem is that many browsers scroll when the spacebar is hit. So, when the user is prompted to hit spacebar in the movie, they end up scrolling the browser window rather than controlling my movie. In order to get it to work, the user has to first click on the movie so the browser knows where to direct the keystroke.

Is there any way to remedy this?!

Thanks for everyone's help in advance!

Scrollbar For Browser Window Not Showing Up
Hey guys

im sure this is a very easy problem but basically whats happening is when I publish my SWF, depending on the settings I choose in the publish settings meno, my SWF either appears in the top-right corner with a browser scrollbar..OR..its dead center*what I want* without a browser scrollbar what do I have to do to get that browser scrollbar to appear?

In my publish settings for...

Dimensions = Percent (100x100)
Quality = High
Window Mode = Window
HTML Alignment = Default
Scale = No Scale (If I switch this to default I get a browser scrollbar but the SWF is no longer centered )

Flash Alignment = Center, Center

what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance guys!

Preventing Horizontal Scrollbar In Browser
I am trying to come up with a cross-browser way of prevent horizontal scrollbars. I know you can use javascript to open up a new window without scrollbars, but I've seen another method of doing it which I'd prefer. If you go to http://www.uncommonthinking.com you'll see they have a splash page which you click to open their main site. When you get into their main site, no matter what the width of the browser window is (or what browser you're using), no horizontal scrollbar ever appears. This is the method I'd like to use, but I have no idea how this site is accomplishing it.

They do have a small javascript code in the main section of their site. However, I'm fairly sure that this code isn't affecting the scrollbars. So, my question is, can this be accomplished in flash? Is there actionscript to prevent the horizontal scrollbar from appearing in a browser window?

URGENT - Browser Scrollbar Problem
Hi every one!

I have a flash site that is 660px wide but the height changes and can be to about 1800px.
I want the browsers scrollbar to change depending on how much content is showing.
I found this one http://hossgifford.com/downloads.htm, which seems to be very popular
But I have problems with it. When I change the size it seems to reposition the whole
SWFs Y coordinate. sometimes its so high up its outside the screen, and sometimes its
100 or 200 pixels further down. I want it to snap to the top of the page. There is no documentation
so Im not sure what Im doing wrong. Please give me a clue/ I will buy you a beer next time you are in
London. I got to solve it (among other things) before the night is over.

Swf Size, Html And Browser Scrollbar.
Hey All.

I've recently uploaded a new version of a site, which you can find here:

http://www.flashback-live.dk

(Click on "kom indenfor" to enter)

I've had some complaints about the swf being too big for the screen, thereby not allowing navigation of the site etc. I thought i played it safe by only making it 1000x600 pixels.
But apparently some people are still running low resolutions and have too many toolbars and stuff showing while browsing.

I didn't want to venture into full screen flash for this one, as it was a hasty job. it just had to work and get on the net in a hurry.

But my question is - I want to go with 'noScale' - because every other setting will scale the content, which looks awful.

Is there any way to put some code in the published html, that will bring out the browser's scrollbars when the window is too small for the swf??

Thanks in advance..

Stig.

Ps. Please bare with me on the design. It's not the most innovative and still needs a lot of tweaking.

[F8] Horizontal Scrollbar Works, But Buttons On The Scrollbar Don't?
I've done a scrollbar like this one:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm
It works fine.

However, I want the individual buttons (button1, button2, etc.) on the scrollbar to load an image from my library whenever they are pressed. I've loaded an MC (content_mc) above the scrollbar for which the images will be seen, and added the images to each individual frame. I used the actionscript from my last menu which works great, but this one with the scrolling MC menu does not work.

Code:
content_mc.stop();
speed = 3
target = button1._y;
for (var i = 1; i<4; i++) {
this["button"+i].pageNum = i;
this["button"+i].onPress = function() {
target = this._y;
content_mc.gotoAndStop(this.pageNum);
};
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
current._y += (tagert-current._y)/speed;
};

Browser Without Scrollbar, Certain Size, No Tool Bar Or Adress Bar?
Hi

I have made four animations which are 800 X 500.
Because two of them use a lot of screenshots which are jpegs I want the to load in a browser and that is exactly that size, the movies to stay non scalable.

I have managed to figure out how to get the animations to not be scalable but have not figured out how to make the browser un scalable and fit around the movie exactly.

I dont want any address bar or scroll bar or any of the tool bars only the title bar and thats it.

http://autodemo.com/web_demos/samples has a few movies that are similar to what i want and am doing.

Also i need the thing to detect and make sure the user has latest flash player.

Can anyone Please help?

Scrollbar And TextEvent.LINK Crashes My Browser
This must be a bug of some sort but if anyone has a workaround I'd love to hear it.

I have a dynamic textbox which I populate with html content and set it as the scrollTarget of a UIScrollBar. If the html extends below the viewable height of the textbox, any 'event:' links crash my browser... for example if my htmlText looks like this;

HTML Code:
<p>Hello here is some text.</p>
<a href='link1.html'>Link to page 1</a><br />
<a href='event:hello'>Dispatch a first event</a><br />
<a href='link2.html'>Link to page 2</a><br />
<a href='link3.html'>Link to page 3</a><br />
<a href='event:hello'>Dispatch a second event</a><br />
<a href='link4.html'>Link to page 4</a><br />
If the first 5 lines of text are visible, then the links to page 1,2 and 3 work correctly. My first 'event:hello' link will also work as expected... but if I scroll down, the second 'event:hello' link crashes the flash plugin and my browser exits with a "can't read memory" error. This is definately an 'event:' problem as the link to page 4 works.

This is really getting me down

What Is The Biggest Pixel Size You Can Have W/o The Browser Scrollbar?
I was wondering how big (in pixels) your background for your website can be before the browser scroll bar starts showing up. Also, what's the width for the background to stretch all the way across the browser so there is no html?

Like these guys, see how it goes all the way across and everywhere you right click it's flash - no html?

see here:

Regular Browser ScrollBar To Appear/disappear When The Movie Height Is Changed.
Hi guys,

I’m currently working on a full dynamic flash website and I want it to look and behave like a good old HTML/CSS page. Meaning that i want a regular browser scrollBar to appear/disappear when the movie height is changed.

So my new killer app simply demands a width of 1000 pixels, but can be any height, and I want people to see the vertical scrollBar on their browser.

I changed the "100%" for the width to a fixed number like "1000", and keep the height parameters at 100%. I thought that will do the job, But NOT I’ve googled and found some interesting stuff, but nothing really I can use (javascript solutions).

Is there not an other way to solve this problem ? with php or html ?

Scrollbar (i Already Have It Designed, The Scrollbar Just Don't Know How To Code)
hi guys.

how can i make a scrollbar that slides my movieclip up and down with different drawings i made.

all of the stuff below this sentence will be on top of a movieclip called "portfolio movie clip"

my new movieclip name is "portfoliofill" i masked it because i have like 40 drawings and i don't want it to show on the bottom of the page. (this has all my drawings aligned one after the other below each other. it goes far down the flash program because its 40 drawings.)

i also designed a little line and a bar that slides up and down the line. this movieclip i named "scrollbar". if you open the "scrollbar" movieclip the bar and the line is are on different layers. then i converted the bar into a movieclip and named the movie clip scrollbar.

thanks to anyone who can help

[F8] Help - Scrollbar Appear On The Scene Which Do Not Contain Scrollbar Component
1. I have successfully created multiple scenes with dynamic html text fields and UIscrollbar component.

2. Each scene is a webpage, so I can click on each button to go to corresponding scene.

3. The main page contains no scrollbar component. When I publish on the web, it run perfectly for the first time loading it. However, after I visit other pages (different scene created in F8) and click on "Home" button going back to the main page, the scrollbar component exists on the page which should not contain any scrollbar.

4. I try to give each scrollbar on different scene a unique instance name, and disable it using

Code:
scrollbar0._visible=false;
but it doesn't work. I think maybe I include the actionscript to the wrong place or under the wrong event/action.

5. Any idea of how this happened?

Someone thats have an idea how to sort this out

Flash Scrollbar Instead Of Browser Scrollbar
