Make A Movie Scroll In When One Button Is Clkd N Scroll Out When Another Is Clkd

im fairly new to the whole flash thing, i can do the really basic stuff...

but theres one thing i cant get my head around...

on the site i am creating, i have a menu (6 buttons vertical)

on each button click it loads a different page...

i have the pages set to scroll in from the right in a movie...

what im wanting is that so when u click a different button (for a different page) it will scroll the page in view out again...and then sequencially scroll the page in question in...

Can I Make The Right Scroll Bar Disappear?
I want ot get rid of the right scroll bar.
I found a lovely smooth scroller in the open source movies.
I use it and love it so publish my movies just under the size of the browser window so i do not need the browser's right or bottom scroll bars.
The bottom scroll bar disappears when not needed but the right scroll bar does not disappear. It stays there, only its blue bar disappears. This doesn't look that bad but it ruins the overall effect of my site. Can you help?

I Use flash mx and dreamweaver iv

N.B.
Maybe i could link to a swf from my index? This is the effect I want. i am left with only the top part of the browser but i have a problem with this.
If i link to it then try my flash link a window pops up asking me if i want to download the swf i am linking to.
I just want to go from page to page and back again using the back but if i use only swfs and load movie in actions the browser stays in the same movie.
Yours faithfully,
Christopher.

Xml Works, Can You Make It Scroll?
Hi,

With a lot of help and a lot of sleepless night, I have my movie pretty close to what I need. I hate to give up, but that's what I'm doing. I've tried everything that I can. I just don't have the experience to know what to do next.

The attached movie works just like I want it to, except the list of words in the dark blue section (not the entire movie) needs to scroll using the buttons that appear above and below the list. Please let me know if you can finish it. I'd be glad to pay you for your time.

Thanks,
Debbie

Please Help: How Do I Make An Area Scroll?
Hello,

I am quite new to Flash, very new to CS3 and have no idea about actionsript.

I am really quite desperate for some help, advice, anything, I spent the whole of yesterday looking for tutorials!

I have made a tab that when you put your mouse over, it plays a movie clip of the tab sliding out to reveal thumbnail pictures. The thing is, there are too many thumbnails to fit on the tab so I really want to make it scroll! I think I read on a message board yesterday that you can't put buttons into movie clips. Is that right because I want the thumbnails to link to certain frames in the flash file when they are clicked. If need be I can remove the movie clip and not have the sliding effect, if that makes sense.

I would very much appreciate anyone reading this to tell me if this will be too difficult to acheive for a newbie? I have attached the file if you would be so kind to check it out.

Many thanks,

Helen

Can't Make Text Scroll
I'm something of a beginner to Actionscript, so I followed EXACTLY the directions in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Adobe Flash to create scrollling text areas in my Flash site. The text does not scroll at all, and, on one of the pages, only one line of the text is showing up. Can someone help, please?

How Do I Make Text Scroll
Hi,
I want to create scrolling text similar to this website: http://www.christianlouboutin.fr/
If you enter the english site and then click on 'biography' which is the photo frame you will see what I want to achieve.
There's a slider on the right hand side which you can move down or up to view the text. It seems realy smooth and just glides - if you get what I mean.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. Maybe a website with a tutorial for idiots or even book that I can go out and buy with really good examples on how to acheive this.

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Help Me Make This UIscrollbar Scroll Please
I followed the Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text tutorial
on this site....but I need to use UIscrollbar that is part of Flash MX2004.

Could someone please help me to make this dynamic text box scroll with the UIscrollbar. I cannot get this UIscrollbar to work. It has no arrows and is basically "dead", the Text is there but I cannot scroll to the bottom. I need it to come alive and SCROLL !

I tried searching the forum, but no one really gives an answer. They all advise to use the Textarea component ( no luck there either)

If you could post the Exact Code to make it work, that would be great ! Also, I'm fairly new to this so bear with me.

Thanks

PS. I would like to see how the UIscrollbar works, not another one.

How To Make A Scroll Bar For BUTTONS?
Hello,

I have read tutorials on how to make a scroll bar for Text. But i want to make a scroll bar for Buttons.

Here is the page I am trying to build..

http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/sandstormtechnology/

Now notice there is a section call "Click Category to View Prices", in this section I want to put about 30 buttons in a vertical line (ie. each button on one another), and it is obvious that 30 buttons of a descent size cannot all fit on that section at the same time. So i need s scroll bar for that section only.

It should be noted that scroll bar is for thar section only and should not affect the blue and red sections to the right of it. That is, the section in the middle and RHS should not have scroll bars. Becasue when the buttons are pressed movies are loaded in the middle(blue) section.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Yours respectfully
Avin Sinanan

How To Make A Scroll Continuos?
I want to make a scrollbar of a dynamic text continuous when clicking up or down ie when holding the mouse down the text should scroll and when MOUSE_UP the text should stop scrolling.
I tried making it with ENTER_FRAME Event but it happens too fast(when i click once the text scrols by 3-4 lines).

I would like to apply the hold effect, like when you press down in your browser window for example: the page first holds for a second and then start to scroll. I hope you get the idea. How to acomplish this in AS3?

This Doesn't Make Me Scroll Slowly
Hey, I was hoping to write a function that would scroll an object slowly.

This seemed like a good concept, but it doesn't work.

This is in my actions layer:

Code:
var DelaySeconds = .5;
var LastTime = new Date();

function waitDelay(){
// This function returns true if the current
// time is at least DelaySeconds >= to
// global variable LastTime.getTime
CurrentTime = new Date();

if ((LastTime.getTime() + (DelaySeconds * 1000)) > CurrentTime.getTime()){
trace("LastTime was: "+LastTime);
LastTime = CurrentTime;
trace("LastTime is: "+LastTime);
return(true);
}else{
return(false);
}
}

Notice that I have two trace()'s in the "TRUE" portion of the if. If this evaluates to FALSE, nothing should be output.

This is on a button:

Code:
on (rollOver){
while (TheVerse._y > -43){
if(waitDelay()){
TheVerse._y -= 14;
}
}
}

What happens is the items moves across the screen instantly. Trace info shows up and the output is not 500 ms appart. It's much less, here is the output:

Code:
LastTime was: 1001819222355
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222405
LastTime was: 1001819222405
LastTime is: 1001819222415
LastTime was: 1001819222415
LastTime is: 1001819222415
LastTime was: 1001819222415

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Scroll Buttons, How To Make Visible Only If Necessary
I have scroll buttons on my Flash site to scroll text loaded from external text files. The site was posted in site check and I received a comment that the scroll buttons should only appear if necessary. Does that mean I have to create a duplicate MC only without the scroll buttons? What if the size of the text file changes? Is there a way to maybe use the ._visible property to accomplish this? What would be the condition? Is there a way for Flash to determine how many lines exist in the text file and use that as a condition? I think I'm close, just need a little help.

Thanks a bunch to whomever...

Image Scroll - How To Make The Adjustment
My knowledge is limited when it comes to action scripting so i'm struggling to adapt the below code to suit my needs. The original movie size is 200px *200px. For my project I have increased it to 600px wide the problem is that the image only reacts when the mouse is in the first portion of the screen 0px to 200px. If I move the mouse over to the right of the movie nothing happen. I have looked at the script below but cannot work out where to make the adjustment.

//variable for the image instance path (symbol: reef_graphic, instance: img)
varimg = _root.img

//variable for the background instance path (symbol: background, instance: bgd)
varbgd = _root.bgd

//speed of the mouse scroll (between 0 and 1)
v=0.03

//mouse position
mousex = varbgd._xmouse;
mousey = varbgd._ymouse;

//image position
imgx = getProperty(varimg, _x);
imgy = getProperty(varimg, _y);

//distance fom the center to the left, right, top and bottom side
left = getProperty(varimg,_width) / 2
right = (getProperty(varimg,_width) / (-2)) + (getProperty(varbgd,_width))
top = getProperty(varimg,_height) / 3
bottom = (getProperty(varimg,_height) / (-3)) + (getProperty(varbgd,_height))

//scrolling of the image
setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v)));
setProperty (varimg, _y, (imgy+(mousey*v)));

//stop the image on the horizontal side
//left
if (getProperty(varimg, _x) >= left) {
if (mousex > 0) {
mousex = 0
setProperty(varimg, _x, left); }
else if (mousex < 0) {
mousex = varbgd._xmouse ;
setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v))); }
}
//right
if (getProperty(varimg, _x) <= right) {
if (mousex < 0) {
mousex = 0
setProperty(varimg, _x, right); }
else if (mousex > 0) {
mousex = varbgd._xmouse ;
setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v))); }
}

//stop the image on the vertical side
//top
if (getProperty(varimg, _y) >= top) {
if (mousey > 0) {
mousey = 0 ;
setProperty(varimg, _y, top); }
else if (mousey < 0) {
mousey = varbgd._ymouse;
setProperty(varimg, _y, (imgy+(mousey*v)));}
}
//bottom
if (getProperty(varimg, _y) <= bottom) {
if (mousey < 0) {
mousey = 0 ;
setProperty (varimg, _y , bottom); }
else if (mousey >0) {
mousey = varbgd._ymouse;
setProperty(varimg, _y,(imgy+(mousey*v)));}
}

//can be deleted, usefull for adjust your image
set ("_level0:x" , imgx);
set ("_level0:mx" , mousex);
set("_level0:y", imgy);
set ("_level0:my", mousey);
