How Do I Make A Scrolling MC That Loops?
Using this website as an example again - http://www.irinagavrich.com/
I'd like to make a movie clip that scrolls on the y axis from top to bottom. When it reaches the end of it's scroll, I'd like it to automatically loop seamlessly. For example if you look at the website at the top of this link, click on the heart box (2nd white box from the left) you'll see when you rollover one of the lines of pictures they scroll and they are the same group of pictures and they loop seamlessly. I'd like to do this on rollover and just have it keep scrolling. Any ideas? I use Flash MX.
Thanks!

How To Make Scrolling Text
I am trying to build a tickertape in Flash MX 2004 that would crawl along the bottom of a page. (I'm doing it in Flash, not DHTML, because I want it to be in a certain font, not generic HTML text.)
I have a rather long list of words that need to crawl along the screen, and then it needs to loop seamlessly back to the beginning, infinitely. The code at the bottom of this message, which is based on something I found at Flashkit.com, is supposed to do just that.
The text does loop, but I find that the scroller always stops dead as soon as the first word reaches the far left edge of the text box. In my example, it happens when the word “Advertising” appears for the *second* time in the loop.
You can see how it performs at:
http://www.sullivancreative.com/website/home/home-new.html
Can anybody recommend what I might do to this code to get it to work? Or recommend an alternate means of getting this technique in Flash?
Thanks.
FRAME 1:
on(rollOver){
stop();
}
on(rollOut){
play();
}
on(press){
// 0=true/false toggle
// 1=work/work.html
// 2=parent
var arr=cat.split("~");
if(arr[0]=="true"){
getURL(arr[1],arr[2]);
}
}
FRAME 2:
if(delayFlag==false){
if(scroller.length>=view){
scroller.text=scroller.text.substr(1,view-1);
}
scroller.text+=theText.charAt(last);
delayFlag=true;
}
FRAME 3:
if(delayFlag==true){
if(getTimer()>=sDelay){
var sDelay=int(getTimer()) + int(sParam);
delayFlag=false;
if(last<theText.length){
last++;
}else{
last=0;
}
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Can't Make Smooth, Animated Scrolling

How To Make A Generic Scrolling Window?
remember http://www.dream-nation.com ?
well if not, they had a nice current events news thing i flash (among other things) that displayed text inside of a scrolling text box. It appeared as though they created a generic text window with a scroll bar that loaded on a new level(?) and then loaded the requested text. I have a little experience with flash 5 dynamic text box scrolling and loading from external text files but would like to know how it might be possible to create only 1 interface and load text into it.
so say for this script:
_root.text.scroll = Number(_root.text.scroll)+1;
the field 'text' contains the text. so how would the new text be loaded into 'text'?

How To Make The Scrolling Menu Effect?
A few years ago the scrolling menu effect [I don't know exactly what it's called] was everywhere on flash sites and I'd like to incorporate one into a new site. Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial, or walkthrough?
The effect I'm looking for is the one where the horizontal button bar scrolls left or right, faster or slower, depending on the proximity of the curser.
Any help would be much appreciated.
How To Make This Scrolling Menu Go The Opposite Way.
Hi,
Is there anyone who might be able to help me make my scrolling menu go the opposite way to what direction the mouse is moving? This is my code below (which i modified from a tutorial to work for my movie).
I'm spending some time on it trying to figure it out hopefully for myself , but would be grateful for some help please!
Many thanks !

Here's the code:

xcenter=375;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse_xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
}

[F8] Looking To Make A Side Scrolling Website...
Hey, i was wondering if i could get some help with ideas for a side scrolling website. I'm going to design the whole thing (5 or 6 x width of a normal screen) with a scrolling function. Any ideas how to do it?
I found a tutorial for scrolling objects without a button, but i wasn't sure how to do it on such a big scale.
If it seems a bit impractical, i would be open to suggestions for buttons that when click will move the screen to the next part of the site.
I hope that makes sense!
Cheers, Bam
How To Make Pictures Scrolling On Mouse Over?
Hi!
I'm sitting with a little problem.
I got a number of pictures that I want to put next to each other from left to right in a row and then mask them with a box that shows all the stage's width and the pictures within the mask box but leaves about 1 cm margin on the left and right side (I made the mask box as there are more pictures than space on the stage to fit them into).
After doing that I now have the masked pictures on the stage but I want to make them scroll to the left and to the right on mouse over (without pressing any mouse buttons) until they stop either on the leftmost picture's left side or the rightmost picture's right side.
That means, that the pictures move on the position of the mouse pointer from (I guess) the centre of the stage. When opening the picture page I want to scroll from the centre of the pictures that are centered on the stage before scrolling starts, too.
I have seen an example of this on the internet and noticed that when scrolling from the centre to the left and right that the scroll speed of the pictures becomes faster.
All in all I want to make those things work the same way as mentioned above. I realise that I need a script but don't know anything else than that the _y command most likely has to be included in it.
Here is what I kind of would like to do:
Go to this site ---> http://www.saltlageret.dk/
Check the top bar with the pictures and you'll see the effect I'm looking for on mouse over.
Any ideas on how to achieve that?
Is there anybody able to help me out?
That would be great.
Kind regards
How To Make Mc Move In Relation To Scrolling?
How do I make an mc move in relation to the amount I scroll a text? I am not advanced enough to be able to break down the (Flash UI)scrollbar component and change it to my own liking (if it's possible) so I'd like to fake it.
I have two mc's that make my text scroll up or down and I'd like to have a mc moving in between them like a regular scrollbar.
The code on the mc's that scroll:
ActionScript Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() { if (pressing == true) { _root.mcholder.texten.scroll = _root.mcholder.texten.scroll+movement; }};
and on the button:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) { pressing = true; movement = -1;}on (release) { pressing = false;}
with movement =+1 on the other button
or can someone point me to a tutorial?
Thanks in advance
Can't Make My Scrolling Text Smooth
I've got some text that scrolls up with testimonials on it, but it doesn't scroll smooth. I'm using just one large text file and tweening it upwards. I upped the frame rate hoping that it would make the tween smoother, but it doesn't. Are there any other ways to make the tween smoother?
How To Make Scrolling Text Continuous?
Hi,
I want to make a menu scroll vertically really slowly, but more importantly continuously... eventually the top of the menu will come round again with no breaks. Then I want it to stop whenever the user hovers the mouse over the scrolling.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that shows exactly how to acheive this? I've found a few that are similar, but they usually stop at each end as opposed to being continuous... My knowledge of actionscript isn't good enough to just go through these tutorials and change it to acheive the specific effect I'm after!
Any suggestions much appreciated

Need To Make Scrolling Text Float Not Jump
I have a scrolling box set to scroll in 30 line incraments. The problem is that it jumps the 30 lines at a time making reading the textmuch harder.
I need to make the text scroll in an smooth animated motion upon clicking the down or up button.
The catch is that the text is dynamic and is pulled from a SQL server so this has to be achieved using action script.
Any one out there that can take this one on?
here is my current script for the up and down buttons:
up button-
on (press) {
if (TextBox.scroll>0){
TextBox.scroll=TextBox.scroll-5;
}
}
--
down button-
on (press) {
if (TextBox.scroll<TextBox.maxscroll){
TextBox.scroll=TextBox.scroll+5;
}
}

How Do You Make A Vertical Scrolling Background For A Game?
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am making a game that has a background that scrolls vertically. I did make a very long, big file animation of a background, but it is very bad because at the last frame it jumps back to the beginning. This effect makes the scrolling background look lousy because it
doesn't look continuous.
Any ideas? I am willing to program with actionscript, using a loop, and duplicating movies (background) but don't know where to begin.
Thanks alot

Scrolling Dynamic Text? How Do I Make It Work?
I followed this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm
and i would like to combine it with something like http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm
Basicly, i would like to have a custom scroll box that loads dynamic text from a txt or xml file. i will be using it for the news on the main page of http://system7design.com
it would be extra cool if i could set an array or something so i can define a date, a heading, and body, and have it auto format like it already is on the page, with the orange dashed lines and junk. Is this possible in flash? if its not, what could i google to find a solution in javascript or something?
ive been trying to figure this problem out for days now and my head hurts. i think i need another drink.

Can I Make A Scrolling Text Panel Draggable?
Hello everyone - my first post in this nice place.
I'm trying to make a scrollable dynamic text field in a movie clip which can be dragged to different positions in the main movie. I've found some great tutorials showing how to build a masked panel that scrolls with mouse position, but when I nest this in a draggable movie clip the scroller stops working. I can sort of do what I want by linking the _x and _y of the text field to that of the draggable background using onMouseMove (and having both on the main timeline) but this is clumsy and the text lags behind the background when it's dragged. Is there a way to do it with the text nested inside the background? I'm hoping to avoid components to keep file size down. And I'm kind of a newbie.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Make Scrolling Text Crisp Using Math.round()
I am using a pixel font in a scrolling menu, so while scrolling and unless the scroll stops on a whole pixel, the font ends up aliased - not pretty. How can i script it so that scrolling and stopping only occurs on a whole pixel.
I believe the solution is to use Math.round() argument when determining the x and y positions, however i am not sure how to do that. any suggestions?

Help Locate Error In My Scripting To Make A Scrolling Throw Effect
I was following a tutorial to make the throwing effect on a scrollbar vertically, but I changed it so I could perform this effect Horizontally. I've got the 'throw effect' working, but the only problem is that it goes beyond it's boundary instead of bouncing off. Here's my script:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_x = bound_box._width-scroller._width;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
left = bounds.xMin+(scroller._width/2);
right = bounds.xMax-(scroller._width/2);
function updateScrollbar () {
content._x = -(((scroller._x-right)/diff_x)*(content._width-bound_box._width));
}
friction = 0.90;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (scroller.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
startDrag ("scroller", false, left, scroller._y, right, scroller._y);
scrolling = true;
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag ();
scrolling = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrolling) {
updateScrollbar();
newX = scroller._x;
xspeed = (newX-oldX)*0.50;
oldX = newX;
done = false;
} else if (!done) {
oldxpos = scroller._x;
newxpos = oldxpos+xspeed;
if (xspeed<-0.2 || xspeed>0.2) {
xspeed *= friction;
} else {
xspeed = 0;
done = true;
}
if (newxposright) {
xspeed = -1*xspeed*friction;
newxpos = right;
}
scroller._x = newxpos;
updateScrollbar();
}
}
I know that near the bottom here is what tells the scroller to bounce back, but i'm not sure if i did something wrong earlier or if I left out anything. PLEASE HELP! thanx
