Flash :: HELP: Trying To Add A Scroll Bar To So User Can Scroll Text

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

Scrolling Is Jumpy (while Using The Scroll Bar) Unless User First Clicks Somewhere
Hey

so I have an rss reader, and starting when it first loads, it takes the rss feeds, displays the feeds, and then scrolls through them. I have a scrollbar on the side, if after the swf first loads, the user cicks on the scroll bar, and starts dragging it, the scrolling is very jumpy. Instead, if the user clicks somewhere within the swf first, the scolling is very smooth.

Btw, this issue does not exist if it's in IE, only if firefox. I have been searching for days and I cannot seem to find a solution.

Change Vert Scroll Script To Horiz Scroll
I found this tutorial for a scrollbar. It works great for vertical scrolling (ex:http://www.matthewterry.net/safetyguide.html click any section), but I want to change it to scroll horizontally, for another project.

Can someone help me change it to affect horizontal scrolling?

On the content's movie:

onClipEvent(load){
goY = this._y;
myY = this._y;
ySpeed = 0;
clicked = false;
delay = 2;
barDis = 380;
barPercent = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(math.round(myY) != math.round(goY) || clicked == true){
barPercent = (_parent.scroller.scrolllever._y/barDis)*100;goY = 116.7 - ((340/100)*barPercent);
myY = this.setonescroll._y;
ySpeed = (myY-goY)/delay;
this.setonescroll._y -= ySpeed;
}
}

On the scroller:

on(press){
startDrag(this,0,0,0,0,_parent._parent.setone.barD is);
_parent._parent.setone.clicked = true;
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
stopDrag();
_parent._parent.setone.clicked = true;
}

Thanks,
Matt

Please Help Me Place The Arrows Of My ScrollPane Scroll Bar Together On One End Of The Scroll Track
I have a scrollpane component with a movie clip of some thumbnail images.

I just want to have its scrollbar arrows together on one end of the track (or together ANYwhere) instead of having them at opposite ends of the scroll track.

I have been able to customize the appearance of the scrollpane and its scrollbar using the HaloTheme library, but that approach has so far been of no use in getting the arrows together.

I cannot tell you how deeply any help will be appreciated. I will probably sob and mewl with gratitude, the way I imagine someone lost in a vast rain forest for many weeks mewls when rescued. I am desperate. I am going insane. Please, please help me.

Modifying Position Of Scroll Arrows In Scroll Pane
Does anyone out there know how to modify the code of the standard Flash component scroll pane to allow you to place the arrows anywhere you want on the page? I was able to go in and assign x and y coordinates for them, but they seem to be linked to the bounding box somehow and whenever I raise or lower them the box follows suit, which ends up cutting of the content inside the box...

I didn't post any code because there is so **** much of it and I can't figure out where it is that the position of the arrows is linked to the position of that ****ed box (this is what I suspect the problem is, but please tell me if you know different!)!!!

Scroll Gallery [doesn't Scroll After Particular Point]
Hello guys,

I have got this script from one of the opensource files on flashkit and want to use it for one of my requirements. Basically all I want to do is, scroll images vertically based on mouse movement. I've done that already but the issue is that when I have over 10-15 images, it doesn't scroll as there is no place left for the mouse to go further down. If you have a look at the attached file, you'll know what exactly I am talking about. Ideally, if mouse is held downwards, the images should keep scrolling untill it reaches it's end.

Can anybody have a look at the fla and help me out.

Cheers,
D

Scroll Wheel - Control Page Scroll?
Alrightly... So I have a flash file that is 750 x 1000 px and is embedded into an html page. Since it's height is a 1000px in order to see the whole flash file one needs to scroll down on the page. This is fine except that when people are working with the flash file (have clicked on it) and then want to use the scroll wheel it won't scroll the html page..

I realize this is because in flash you can assign your own properties to the scroll wheel. But is there a way to have the scroll wheel perform it's normal function of scrolling the html page?

I'm not sure if there is an easy way or if I would have to write some code for flash to call javascript to scroll the page? I know people must have run into this problem before and probably have some good solutions.

Thanks in advance

Changing Quality On Scroll :: Scroll Plane
Hi There,

Does anyone know a easy way of getting the flash movie to change quality when a scroll plane is scrolling... I have loads of content in the plane and need to set the quality to low whilst scolling to improve performance....

at the moment I have this code.

Code:
var dragQual:Object = new Object();
dragQual.scroll = function(eventObj){
_quality = "LOW"
}
tDragObject.addEventListener("scroll", dragQual);
but it only sets the quality to low, once the user has finnished scolling I want the quality to go back to best....

Any Ideas?

[scroll] Scroll That Reacts To The Mouse Wheel
Hy guys,

Do you know how can I make a scrollable text that reacts to the mouse wheel. Here you can see an example: link here

Look at the news section, or at the about us section.

The majority oh the text scrollers on the web didn't react at the mouse wheel. I found this site and I was surprised when I found that I can scroll with my mouse wheel.

Hope some one knows how they do that.

Thx.

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?

OnRollover Scroll Down...ondrag Scroll Up
Hey guys,

I was wondering if you guys could help me create a flash component for a site I'm working on right now. What I need is a scrollpane type thing, where when the user rolls over the content area, the content will begin to scroll down, and when the user rolls out, the content stops scrolling. Also, the user will be able to drag the content up (not down, they will only be able to drag the content up, they will rollover to make the content go down).

Could you please help me with this?

Thanks.

Scroll Bar - Scroll Pane Issue
I have a scroll pane issue that I can't seem to solve. The issue is, if I load my scroll pane with an image and then on mouseover of the scroll pane change my cursor, I can no longer use the scroll panes scroll bars with my new cursor. If I remove all of my zoom code and just change the cursor the result is the same.

this is my code:

Code:
this.zoom_in.onPress = function() {
var zoomin = false;
pictures.onRollOver = function() {
zoomin = true;
Mouse.hide();
this.attachMovie("mag_in", "cursor_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:this._xmouse, _y:this._ymouse});
};
pictures.onMouseMove = function() {
this.cursor_mc._x = this._xmouse;
this.cursor_mc._y = this._ymouse;
};
pictures.onRollOut = function() {
zoomin = false;
Mouse.show();
this.cursor_mc.removeMovieClip();
};
pictures.onMouseDown = function() {
if (zoomin=true) {
if (pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX>=1600) {
this.zoom_in.enabled(false);
bgSound.start();
} else {
pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX *= 1.5;
pictures.content.myLoader.scaleY *= 1.5;
trace(Math.floor(pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX));
}
pictures.invalidate();
}
};
};

Scroll, Scroll, Scroll, But Not Working
Okay, so I have this dynamic text box that needs to scroll. I have it working perfectly in a movie by itself. But when I do the same thing in my main site, no scrolly.

See the file called events2.fla. It works flawlessly, but in the other fla file, dud. No scrolling. I think it may have to do with the _root tags, but I dont know any other way to fix it.

Please flash guru's, tell me where I went wrong!

thanks everyone,

[F8] Freezing An "Infinite Scroll" Menu When The Mouse Exits The Scroll Area?
Hey folks,

I found this great script that adds a fun "infinite scroll" menu to my page. Problem is, the scroll continues to spin even when the mouse cursor moves outside of the scroll's box area. Can anyone recommend an amendment to the script which would allow me to freeze the scroll menu in place when a user moves the cursor outside of the box? I'm new at this stuff, is this a job for "if" and "else if" statements? Any help would be appreciated.

The scroll box is sized to 157 px wide x 355.2 px high. I've uploaded the file I'm working, if that helps at all.

Also, here's the address to the page -

http://seanmurphydesigns.com/illus_page.html

...and the script...

onClipEvent (load) {
ycenter=285;
speed=1/20;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y-=(distance*speed);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y-=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 0) _y=-355.2;
if (_y < -355.2) _y=0;
}

Text Scroll
i'm running into a problem with a scrolling text box: text after line 213 is not appearing, and now after some text size modification it jumps to the middle of the text and does not allow me to scroll up to the top of the text box

????????????????

a little about the .fla:
components:
dragBarMovie
invisDragButton (hit frame)
scrollMovie
textMovie
actionscript frame 1:
setProperty ("/scroll", _visible, false);
mHeight = "385";
xPos = "10";

actionscript frame 2:
scale = getProperty("textMovie/text", _height)/mHeight;
if (Number(scale)>1) {
dragScale = int(100/scale);
remainder = (mHeight/scale)-mHeight;
setProperty ("/scroll/drag", _yscale, dragScale);
bottomScrollArea = (mHeight-(mHeight/scale))-(mHeight/2);
setProperty ("/scroll", _visible, true);
textOffset = (getProperty("textMovie/text", _height)-(mHeight-xPos))/100;
} else {
bottomScrollArea = 0-(mHeight/2);
}
/:heightVal = getProperty("textMovie/text", _height)-(mHeight/2);

actionscript frame 3:

dragOffset = (Number(getProperty("/scroll/drag", _y))+Number((mHeight/2)))/remainder*100;
setProperty ("/textMovie/text", _y, 170+Number((textOffset*dragOffset)));

Scroll Text Box
Afternoon all,

I would be very greatful if someone could give me a quick guide to a simple dynamic text box (that loads an external txt file) that can then be scrolled.

I don't actually want the buttons at either end to scroll up and down - I just the draggable one.

I have tried many tutorials but cant get any to work. I had it working in Flash 5 and it's very frustrating!

Thanks hopefully,

Pete M
