Flash :: MX 2004 Scroll Bar Component... Where Has It Gone?

Customizing Scroll Pane Component MX 2004
Can anyone give me a heads up on how to customize the scroll pane component in MX 2004? I used to be able to go into the component folder in my library and change anything I wanted in MX. Now I see with MX 2004 that the folder doesn't move into the library after adding an instance to the stage. What have I overlooked? How can I change the appearance? Basically I want to get rid of the outline of the pane. Thanks for the help.

Scroll Bar In Flash Mx 2004 Pro
my first post

I am making a scrollable text in my flash mx 200 pro. I've already made everything except the scroll bar. the dude in the learning videos is using flash mx , but I only have mx2004pro version which i downloaded to try. in the components library he's got this scroll bar component which he can just drag onto the stage and work with it. In my components I have lots of stuff but I don't have that scroll bar thing.
so, the question is, am I doing something wrong here? or the mx2004pro version just doesn't have this scroll bar component in it? and if it comes with no scroll bar , where can i get one to import in into my project.
All help is greatly appreciated.
thx

This Is How U Do A Proper Scroll In MX 2004
Many of u would have seen my various threads asking 'how to do a scroll text in MX 2004' many people gave me good advice with reguard to the scroll pane and all that fluff, but that stuff wont work with mx 2004.

So after experimenting and actually paying close attention to some persons advice i fig it out. This is how u do it...

use the font tool write yur text, change from static to dynamic text, right click it and make it 'scrollable' make two buttons and add this action script in the up button..

on (release) {
my_txt.hscroll += 1;
}

the part wit my_txt will change depending on what u name the instant. the down button will be..

on (release) {
my_txt.hscroll -= 1;
}

SIMPLE!!!

U cud draw a box around it manual, u cud trurn on off the border... u cud make it pink for crying out loud!!

I would like to take this oppertunity to thank all those who made this possible... ME lol

just joking... serious alot of peps give me advice i dont think i replied in one of the post but THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP

UI Scroll Bar In Flash 2004 Pro
This is a newbie question, but is still a little strange.

I have a flash movie that calls a PHP script which opens a text file and then reads the text contents back into a dynamic text box. When the movie first loads there is some animation before the text box is needed, so I placed the dynamic text box on frame 100 along with the actionscript to call the PHP script.

Well, this part works just fine, but I realized that the contents of the text file will change and there may be a need for the text box to have a scroll bar.

I read a couple of web pages about the 7.2 update to Flash bringing back the UI scroll bar component, so I decided to try it out. Everything I read says I basically drag the component to the page and release it and it will snap to the text box. It also will automatically update it's target property to match the instance name of the dynamic text box. Both of those things appeared to happen. However when I publish the file and put it on the web, I get a non-moving white box on the right side of the text box. What am I doing wrong? Is there another step that I missed? Is there anything I have to do with components specifically when I publish the movie?

I would really appreciate an answer to what is probably a silly question to the experienced folk around here, but it is really holding me up on my project.

However, after I export the compiled swc and import it into another movie, a strange thing happens. All the graphics are square red blocks instead of the gradients or bitmaps that I had originally.

Any ideas?

Scroll Pane Not Working Flash MX 2004
Hi Folks

I have an existing movie but now I want to add a Scroll Pane. I tried Importing several premade scrolls to my library [one at a time] but when I drag it to the place I want it in my movie [frame location] it don't work.

I see the up/down arrow and all the components but clicking don't do anything.

I even created one myself using a few tutorials but only see a white space and no scrolling text information.

I even tried to type in an existing swf file in the content path as well as use the full path location to where my text file or swf file is on my hard drive but in either case the movie never shows.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Dynamic Data Into Scroll Pane (MX To 2004)
I'm creating a list of products with images/text/etc.. Basically, I'm looping through and taking a symbol out of the library that has a place to put the product image and name, then stacking them vertically. Now what I want to do is insert them all into a scrollPane. I used to do this in Flash MX by using setScrollContent() function. MX 2004 does not have this. Is there an easy alternative? I know you can use contentPath to place other files and symbols from the Library in it, but how do I insert a movieClip that I've just created on the stage like I could in regular MX? Thanks.

Problem With Component In MX 2004 Pro
Hi, for some reason the component in this fla will not work if I try and publish as player 7 and action script 2.

For some reason it is not recognising the methods?

Please help, I've just bought 2004 pro - and can't seem to start leveraging the benefits...

I've attached the file as version MX. To see the error you just need to publish as version 7 and see the degug...

It would be amazing if you know why this only works as MX...

Hi
Im having a bit of a hard time trying to edit the appearance of the 'Window' component (MX 2004 Pro). I would like the component to be totaly transparent, but yet still be able to see the contents of it. If this is not possible, how about just making the title bar dissapear/transparent? If this is still not possible - does anyone know how this component works, so i could make a version for myself?
Sorry if the answer is blatantly obvious, but im sorta new to Flash.

Thanx in advance,

I've tried using actionscript to define the components style, but no dice on the font outlines.

HELP MX 2004 Loader Component
Hi there,

I'm trying to load an external swf into a loader compenent in Flash MX 2004. I've noticed on some other threads there seems to be some confusion on what this is. This component can load a jpg or swf into itself. The really cool thing is that it will load the external swf into whatever size the loader is sized to. Anyways I had it working at one point but when I lost the file I have been unable to recreate it.

Right now I have this code at the beginning of the movie:

_root.introLoader.loadMovie("intro.swf");

I have the loader named with the instance name of "introLoader". However I noticed that when you drop the component on the stage it says "mx.controls.Loader" on it. I'm confused as to whether I should reference the instance name I created or the Loader name.

Has anyone had any success using this component? I'm not sure if it came with MX 2004 or if I downloaded it as an extension.

Thanks alot!

Serious Component Misbehaviour Mx 2004 (bug)
Hello flashers,

Need to go live with my site asap. But components acting weird.

Separate swf files loading into a 'holder' or 'home' swf. All components show halo when clicked on when they are loaded into this 'holder' swf. This is so undesirable and is inconsistant as they dont do behave this way when seperate swf are loaded by themeselves.

I have never noticed this before as I havent loaded components in movie b,c,d into the home a movie before, seems totally stupid that they would behave this way.

cheers in advance

Does anyone know a solution to this? I have been pulling my hair out for 2 days.
