My Scroller Won't SCROLL :'(

Text Scroller Help - Scroller Won't Scroll Full Length Of Text?
I have a text scroller that calls for a external text file. I have 16 numbered items in the .txt file but only 12 items will scroll. Why is this and how do I fix it? Also, is there any way to format text in the .txt file so that it appears formatted in flash? Right now there is a bunch of spaces between the numbered items. Thanks anyone!!

Scroller To Scroll Buttons...
I've searched and all I've found is people saying you could with the ScrollPane and a movie, but that's about it. No directions or suggestions. Right now, I have the ScrollBar Component just scrolling text, but eventually, I'll want that text to be different buttons to choose from. Any suggestions or links to Tutorials would be great...

[F8]custom Scroller Needs To Scroll A Mc

Scroller Allowing Really Long Scroll
Hi, I am looking for a scoller fla which you can write as much as you want and it would still scroll.

Also no loading in text file, all text would be already in the swf itself. Thank you.

SCROLL PANE Loads Sometimes With No Scroller
Hello,

Has anyone had the problem of using the Scroll Pane, loading a swf file into it, and then when you navigate back and forth on the timeline the scroller in the scroll pane doesn't show up, you leave go back and its there.

The largest pain in the butt is that it normally happens when it first loads.

Anyone experiencing this? Any solutions? Any causes?

.scroll Based Scroller Not Working In Pc's
Hi all.

I made a scroller that executes its action according to the text length. It's an html text by the way but otherwise is not responding either. I'm using TextField.maxscroll, TextField.bottomScroll and TextField.scroll in my script. When the text is longer, scroller functions, when it is shorter scroller does not allow any user action (on purpose).

My problem is, with some texts it functions in macs but not in pc's. I couldn't see why. I used <img> tags in a single text and it did not cause any malfunction in mac FF and Safari but it does not work in pc FF and IE either. Funny thing is, in pc's, some longer texts allow scrolling while some other don't. Note that I'm using the <img> tag in a single file.

To disable it in the script, I'm checking the length of the text via the following:


ActionScript Code:
if (myText.maxscroll <= 1) {
    // disable scroller
}
Anybody has an idea? Thanks in advance.

Scroller Doesn't Scroll When Loaded
Hello, I'm making a new site but I got stuck. I hope someone can help me 'cause I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

I made a "site" in which I load the other parts of the site, for example "scroller" (both in attachment). If you open "scroller" you'll see it works just fine (I wish it would only skip one line at a time but that's not that important). When you open "site" it loads "scroller" in it but the scroller doesn't work anymore?!?

What did I do wrong? I guess it has something to do with the referrence path, but I can't find the sollution.

Please help me if you know how to fix it.

Thanx a lot!

Need XML Scroller To Scroll Based On Time?
Ok. So I am trying to create a thumbnail scroller with 2 movieclips.
1. "thumbs" <----------- 10 images of wich about 5 or 6 are visible in the panel
2. "bigthumbs" <--------10 images of which only 1 is visible (the main stage)

"thumbs" and the "bigthumbs" content are all grabbed via an XML file.

The part I need help in:
I then want the "thumnails" and the "bigthumbs" to scroll, but scroll based on time. So say every 5 seconds the panels will scroll say 50 px to the left.

I have no clue how that works. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
ZG

PS - If this works out, I'll post a tutorial on what I am doing. Should be pretty neat.[/u]

My Scroller Doesnt Scroll When I Load It Into Empty MC
i have a .swf(combobox.swf) that has a combobox on the scene. when the user selects something in the combobox it loads the selection into an empty movieclip (called "holder")on the scene. this part of the movie works fine. problem is....the movies that i want to be loaded have scrollers that load up txt from text file. that works fine too except that my up and down buttons do not work. however, the very same file (news.swf) scrolls just fine when it is viewed on its own. i cant figure this out? i guess when the news.swf movie is loaded into the empty movie clip the variables that define the up and down scrolling are not being passed
here is the URL to what i am working on

http://www.digitaldementia.ca/jimmyt...x/jsrouter.htm

if you select "movie3" the scroller will pop up on the scene but you will notice that it doesnt scroll!!!

i am also including all the files combobox.zip here:

Scroller Component Doesn't Update New Scroll Max *$&#^@^
Ok, I'm posting this after almost 3 hours surfing other threads about the same thing, but no answer.

I'm modifying a guestbook I think I got from here at FK, and my mod includes the scroller component.

when I reload the guest book text from the external file, the scroller doesn't scroll! here's the link:

http://www.mike-watt.com/phpTests/GuestBook.html

notice the black box? click inside the text field and type something. the box does a little animation when you type. I used the "onChanged" function to do that. But the onChanged function doesn't seems to listen to when new text is loaded in. Go ahead, sign the guest book, and after pressing submit, the box don't move when the new entry loads. What is going on here. Macromedia, you are so stupid to not have thought of this!!!!!!!!!!

Please help...

Thanks,

How To Scroll Multiple Text Boxes With One Scroller
Hey guys

I am creating an index for a flash file and am working with the scroll component for the first time. I've got a couple of quick and probably easy questions.

First

I was wondering how to get one scollbar component to scroll multiple text box within the same frame. I have tried to give the different text boxes the instance name of "scroller" but it seems to only want to scroll the box that it is attached to.

Second

Also is there a way to attach a button to the different lines of text within the scrollbox, so that they will scroll with the text.

I'm could just go the old school way of making a scroll box, but I was hoping that there would be an easier way of doing it with the new component...

Thanks

[F8] Horizontal Scroller Flash - Dyanamic Scroll Bar
I want to create a full window flash movie and be able to scroll the content horizontally as seen on this site:

http://www.designwright.co.uk/

The important feature I want to mimic is the scrollbar along the bottom. Regardless of the window size, it automatically resizes itself to fit in the window. The horizontal scroll also has some sweet easing.

Do any of you guys know how to create this scroller and scrollbar combo?

Dynamic Scroller - Reset Scroll Position. HELP ME
I'm using the dynamic scroller found on the kiropa site found here http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

In the action script on the ScrollBar, I can't find what variable to change to reset the position of the bar to the top of the scroller when I use the same dynamic text area for other content. It loads just fine, but if the scroller was left at the bottom, it stays there on the new text until you move it a bit, then the text catches up.

I'm hoping to find the variable and reset it when the new text loads.

I'd appreciate your time since I'm still a novice with action script.

Thanks.

Make A Standard Thumb Scroller / Scroll Infinitely
I've got a standard horizontal thumbnail scroller and want to have it scroll infinitely. So when it reaches the last one in the list from the xml it continues to show thumbnails starting over with the first... alternately when it starts and a user chooses to scroll in the other direction it shows the last one and progresses toward the first...

hopefully that makes sense.

I load the thumbs via xml here:

PHP Code:



function urlLoaded(event:Event):void {    xml = XML(event.target.data);    xmlList = xml.children();    for (var i:int=0; i < xmlList.length(); i++) {        var thumb:Thumbnail = new Thumbnail(xmlList[i].url);        arrayThumb.push(thumb);        thumbNail.push(arrayThumb);        arrayThumb[i].y = 0;        arrayThumb[i].x = 10+(150*i);         photoContainer.addChild(thumb);            }}




then when one of my arrows to navigate left or right, i check to see if reaches the end and if it does I bounce it back to 0. which is what the onComplete event calls to and passes the max positions, in the checkPos function if the argument is true it Tweens all back to 0, but I'd rather just continue looping on through...

PHP Code:



function moveRight(e:MouseEvent):void{        var maxRight:Number = - photoContainer.width + stage.stageWidth;        if(photoContainer.x < maxRight){                 // do nada        }else{        Tweener.addTween(photoContainer,{x:photoContainer.x-300, transition:"easeInOutBack", time:1.5, onComplete:checkPos, onCompleteParams:[maxLeft,maxRight]});    }}




any suggestions

Convert Movieclip Scroller To Dynamic Text Scroller
I have code I borrowed that is set up to scroll a movie clip image. However, it doesn't work well if I replace the graphics with a text box as the scrolling becomes "jerky" as I think there is too much information for it to process with the complexity of the text. So I was hoping to change the scrolling content from a movie clip image with text to a dynamic textbox. But it will not function when I do that change. In this currrent setup, the movieclip instance name is "contentmain". I tried naming the instance of the dynamic textbox with that name, but no text shows up next to the scroller when I play the movie.

Here's the code:
scrolling = function () {

var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrac._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrac._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrac._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrac._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrac._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);

// Setup easing event
contentMain.desiredX = contentMain._y;
contentMain.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= (this._y - this.desiredX) / 3;
};

scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain.desiredX = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
};
};
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};


btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
if (scrollFace._x<=left) {
scrollFace._x = left;
} else {
scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = left;
contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnUp.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x-speed>finalContentPos) {
if (scrollFace._x>=right) {
scrollFace._x = right;
} else {
scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = right;
contentMain._x = finalContentPos;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnDown.onRelease = function() {

scrolling();

Convert Movieclip Scroller To Dynamic Text Scroller
I have code I borrowed that is set up to scroll a movie clip image. However, it doesn't work well if I replace the graphics with a text box as the scrolling becomes "jerky" as I think there is too much information for it to process with the complexity of the text. So I was hoping to change the scrolling content from a movie clip image with text to a dynamic textbox. But it will not function when I do that change. In this currrent setup, the movieclip instance name is "contentmain". I tried naming the instance of the dynamic textbox with that name, but no text shows up next to the scroller when I play the movie.

Here's the code:
scrolling = function () {

var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrac._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrac._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrac._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrac._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrac._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);

// Setup easing event
contentMain.desiredX = contentMain._y;
contentMain.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= (this._y - this.desiredX) / 3;
};

scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain.desiredX = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
};
};
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};


btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
if (scrollFace._x<=left) {
scrollFace._x = left;
} else {
scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = left;
contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
delete this.onEnterFrame;

Convert Vertical Scroller To Horizontal Scroller
Hi have a cool vertical scroller that I did try to convert to horizontal, but I could not make it work.
Can someone help ??
Below is the code for vertical scroller:
Thanks to anyone who can help.

//code by Billy T

//set a variable
targY=0;
//set the x position of the dragger
dragger._x = 370;
line._x = 370;
//set the drag action of the dragger
//drag is restricted to the height of the mask
dragger.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this,false,this._x,0,this._x,theMask._he ight-this._height);
}
//stop the drag
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=functio n(){
stopDrag();
}
//set the mask for the text
theText.setMask(theMask);
//the scrolling animation
theText.onEnterFrame=function(){
/*set a variable
this variable basically stores info regarding what fraction of the total text
is being displayed through the mask and ensures that dragging the dragger
from top to bottom will reveal all the text.
this allows you to change the amount of text and the scroller will update itself
*/
scrollAmount=(this._height-(theMask._height/1.3))/(theMask._height-dragger._height);
//set a new target y position
targY=-dragger._y*scrollAmount;
//set the y of the text to 1/5 of the distance between its current y and the target y

//change the 5 to a lower number for faster scrolling or a higher number for slower scrolling
this._y-=(this._y-targY)/5;
}

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

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;
}

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!)!!!

HELP!!!!

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
