Flash :: Netscape 7 No Likee Scrollbar?

Scrollbar In Netscape
calling all Ninjas,

I really need some serious Ninjitsu. I built a huge site that contains scroll bars in every article. I used the UIscroll that is native to Flash 8, and it works fine in all browsers except Netscape. It doesn't show up at all in Netscape. AAAH. I went back to the drawing board, saved all files down to Flash MX 2004- again- the scrollbar still doesn't show up in Netscape only. I then replaced the UIScroll with the Flash MX scrollbar component, and still- not showing up in netscape. All I want to do is scroll some dynamic text in all browsers. Should it be this hard. If anyone has a solution, I'll kiss you. I'm under a crazy deadline and this is totally wrecking it...Thanks again...

Scrollbar Problem - How To Load Text And Have The Scrollbar Default To Bottom Onload?
Hi,

I am currently working on a project whereby I need to display text in a scrollable area that refreshes every 2 seconds. I have the text loading ok but there is some extra functionality that I require.

At the moment I have a PHP application that uploads text files and adds the latest comment to the end of each text file. If you open the text file you can see the older comments at the top and the latest comments at the end. In the flash movie, I need the text file to load and the scrollbar to default to the bottom of the flash movie - that way, the latest comments will appear at the bottom of the screen and you can scroll up to the older comments.

I am not sure how to do this as I have just used the built in Flash components to get what I have so far.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin

Scrollbar Doesn't Work (tutorial: Object-oriented Scrollbar)
(tutorial --> object-oriented scrollbar: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=71).

I followed the tutorials instructions and this is the code that i have now:

import caurina.transitions.*;

var yOffset:Number;
var yMin:Number = 0;
var yMax:Number = sb.track.height - sb.thumb.height;

sb.thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, thumbDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, thumbUp);

function thumbDown(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, thumbMove);
yOffset = mouseY - sb.thumb.y;
}

function thumbUp(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, thumbMove);
}

function thumbMove(e:MouseEvent):void
{
sb.thumb.y = mouseY - yOffset;
if(sb.thumb.y <= yMin)
sb.thumb.y = yMin;
if(sb.thumb.y >= yMax)
sb.thumb.y = yMax;
var sp:Number = sb.thumb.y / yMax;
Tweener.addTween(content, {y:(-sp*(content.height-masker.height)),
time:1});
e.updateAfterEvent();
}

Does anybody see what's going wrong? I'm a beginner beginner, so all could think of to do is check if everything was typed correct. (i double checked instance names and code). But can't seem te get it to work, nothing happens when i preview swf.
No compilers errors and no syntax error. Tweener class is installed properly. PLEASE help me i've been looking for hours now.
If someone could help me, would be great!!

Sorry for my english, thank you for your time.

[F8] Horizontal Scrollbar Works, But Buttons On The Scrollbar Don't?
I've done a scrollbar like this one:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm
It works fine.

However, I want the individual buttons (button1, button2, etc.) on the scrollbar to load an image from my library whenever they are pressed. I've loaded an MC (content_mc) above the scrollbar for which the images will be seen, and added the images to each individual frame. I used the actionscript from my last menu which works great, but this one with the scrolling MC menu does not work.

Code:
content_mc.stop();
speed = 3
target = button1._y;
for (var i = 1; i<4; i++) {
this["button"+i].pageNum = i;
this["button"+i].onPress = function() {
target = this._y;
content_mc.gotoAndStop(this.pageNum);
};
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
current._y += (tagert-current._y)/speed;
};

AS3 - Change Width Of ScrollBar / ScrollPane's Scrollbar
Is there any way to change the width of the AS3 scrollbar component? I've tried changing the width of the skin, but it always snaps to the default width.

Scrollbar (i Already Have It Designed, The Scrollbar Just Don't Know How To Code)
hi guys.

how can i make a scrollbar that slides my movieclip up and down with different drawings i made.

all of the stuff below this sentence will be on top of a movieclip called "portfolio movie clip"

my new movieclip name is "portfoliofill" i masked it because i have like 40 drawings and i don't want it to show on the bottom of the page. (this has all my drawings aligned one after the other below each other. it goes far down the flash program because its 40 drawings.)

i also designed a little line and a bar that slides up and down the line. this movieclip i named "scrollbar". if you open the "scrollbar" movieclip the bar and the line is are on different layers. then i converted the bar into a movieclip and named the movie clip scrollbar.

thanks to anyone who can help

[F8] Help - Scrollbar Appear On The Scene Which Do Not Contain Scrollbar Component
1. I have successfully created multiple scenes with dynamic html text fields and UIscrollbar component.

2. Each scene is a webpage, so I can click on each button to go to corresponding scene.

3. The main page contains no scrollbar component. When I publish on the web, it run perfectly for the first time loading it. However, after I visit other pages (different scene created in F8) and click on "Home" button going back to the main page, the scrollbar component exists on the page which should not contain any scrollbar.

4. I try to give each scrollbar on different scene a unique instance name, and disable it using

Code:
scrollbar0._visible=false;
but it doesn't work. I think maybe I include the actionscript to the wrong place or under the wrong event/action.

5. Any idea of how this happened?

Thanks,

Flash Scrollbar Instead Of Browser Scrollbar
Hi all,

What I want to do is replace the browser scrollbar with a flash one when the flash movie is larger than the browser, and I'm using 100% sizes.

I've seen this done, and even when you manually resize the window, the scrollbar adjusts. Any ideas on this? Any tuts? Thanks.

Scrollbar (dynamic Scrollbar Size)
Hi everyone.
I'm making a scroller that scrolls movieclip (text inside). It works quite good but I want to put the final touch on it.

I want that my scrollbar is dynamic in its size (just as browser scrolls or windows scrolls). Then my biggest programming problem comes up, maths

The values that I have is
- How tall is the area there the text shows.
- How tall is the movieclip that the text is shown in
- How tall is the place there my scrollbar is shown.

Someone thats have an idea how to sort this out

Netscape
Hello,
I've created a flash application that is running at

The problem is, when it's viewed in netscape, the movie just runs right through and doesn't stop at any of the stop frames. Does anybody know why this is happening?

Thanks, MLE

Plz Help Me With That F*?ing Netscape Bug
Hi yall!

I do have a problem with Netscape (4.5 and newer):
When I send a fscommand that is caught by by the xxx_DoFsCommand-routine of the .htm that hosts the flash, Netscape will do anything I want it to do (via script) but relocate the .htm to another file.

Don`t get me wrong: I don´t want it to open a new browser window that loads the intended file; I want Netscape to open up the new file in the same window the swf (and the script) is in.

Buuuuuuuuutttttttt: That stupid ***** (xcuse my french) won`t do it.

So, is there anybody out there who has a workaround for that bug? Please tell me if so.

thanxx

Besides, your site`s great.

Netscape
I am posting this because I've seen a lot of people wondering about Netscape compatibility with their flash site (and wondered myself)

So I downloaded Netscape 6, tried to view my site and a pop up window appeared to download flash 6 for netscape.

I didn't have any problems viewing my site....

Just to let you know if it can be useful.

IE Vs. Netscape?
I have a simple onClipEvent that plays an externally loaded movie when it hits the frame.

It works in Netscape but not in IE. Both are using the Flash 6 player.

Any ideas???

IE/Netscape
This movie works in IE but not Netscape. What do I need to do?

Possible Netscape Bug?
Hi all, anyone know of a bug with MX and Netscape that might cause images that are loaded dynamically on a rollover to not show up when being viewed with netscape???
To check for yourself go to http://mechromation.com and check the portfolio section. here is the code i am using for this... maybe theres a problem with it?

loadVariables("gallery.txt", "_root");
function preset(whichOne) {
curPreset = whichOne;
_root.pic.loadMovie(_root["image"+whichOne]);
textHolder.curCatagory = _root["catagory"+whichOne];
textHolder.curTitle = _root["title"+whichOne];
textHolder.curInfo = _root["info"+whichOne];
}

on the buttons this is the code:

on (rollOver) {
_root.gotoAndStop(6);
_root.preset(20);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.gotoAndStop(5);
}
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('gallery files/aelogo.htm','newWin','width=600,height=550,toolbar =0,location=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,resizable=1,fu llscreen=0'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);");
}

anyone see a problem with this? Please let me know...
Thanks

Mx And Netscape
I made a movie in mx. It displays in IE, but not in Netscape. I had other movies I made work in Netscape, but they were created in Flash 5. So, I saved the MX file as a Flash 5 file and published from there. It displayed in both browsers. One other piece of information. I started from scratch with a new MX file, put some text in it (no animation), published it, and I could view in both browsers. Any help on this?

What The F... Is Up With Netscape 7+?
I've got a flash movie that sits in a layer on my web page. Initially the layer is hidden. When you click the login button, it executes the following code...

Code:
function showLoginBox(){
if (ns4){
document.loginLayer.visibility = 'visible';
window.document.loginbox.TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.loginbox.Play();
}
else {
document.getElementById('loginLayer').style.visibility = 'visible';
if (ie4){
window.document.getElementById('loginbox').TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.getElementById('loginbox').Play();
}
if (ns6){
window.document.loginbox.TGotoLabel("_level0/","open");
window.document.loginbox.Play();
}
}
}

In IE and NS4, it works fine. Well, NS4 isn't fine, but NS7 is worse. I've gone through all the docs at macromedia about communicating between flash and javascript and I'm doing it the way that they say to do it. In NS4, it will show my container layer and go to the correct frame. But, it will not play. In NS7, it will show the layer and that's it. It won't go to any frame or seem to even load the movie. Can anyone give any ideas on what I could try? Thanks.

Netscape == ?
whats the nn equiv to this javascript statement ??? (that works GREAT in IE)

window.document.moviename.SetVariable('play', 'true');

I know this doesnt work in nn4, what about 7 or whatever version they're on ?

Netscape And IE
When viewed in IE, the frames are smooth and rather quick.
When viewed in Netrape, it is quite a bit slower, but still smooth. The timing with the music and everything are spot on, just slower?
I'm at 30fps. Cache is cleared.
What gives?

Netscape 4.5

Swf In Netscape 7.1
A customer is telling me that an .swf file made from Flash 5 is not loading in Netscape 7.1. It works fine for me. Anyone have a clue as to why others are having problems?

Netscape
hello

i am using Flash MS 2004 and am new to the wonderful world of flash...

i just finished a flash intro for my website..
and included a skip intro button which uses a loadURL actionscript when clicked on

everything works fine and dandy in IE
but in Netscape for some reason when i click skip intro it goes to the next page and loads it all squished up in the top of the browser, i cant seem to explain it and i have tired to export the swf file into different formats but nothing seems to work (mainly cause i cant seem to figure out why its happening)

also.. netscape wont play the audio in the intro (but only on some computers, and with the same version of Netscape.. weird eh?)

any feedback regarding these issues would be very helpful and much appreciated

thank you

Netscape & Co. Really Sux
This is really a disapointment.

I have this site where I need to make some user checking, and in a particular section of the site, I need to pass a parameter to the Flash movie, from a PHP script just like this:

print "<param name="movie" value="members.swf?Response=granted">";

Well the situation is simple: either Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox ignores the parameter passed to the movie, while IE accepts it ok. I am not sure if the problem is with the browsers itself or with Macromedia plugin for them.

Now I have this site on line and need to find a detour to this awfull gap, just because there are a lot of people that uses this f***** browsers.

Well, point for Microsoft. This kind of thing just shows why MS is really the biggest one in the world, and why people have so much resistence to join to their competitors.

Humm.... forget the cheap philosophy!

If anyone knows the solution for this problem I erally would apreciate if it could be shared.

Thanks!

Netscape
I have a dynamic, 3-D flash chart. Every time a user changes a value in one of four text boxes the chart changes to reflect the new values.

The page has four default values in the text boxes when the page loads. The problem is in Netscape the chart won't conform to the original 4 values when the page loads. Once a user types in a new value or hits the 'refresh' button the chart works fine and it also works perfectly in IE from the get go.

Why won't the page recognize the variables onLoad in Netscape? Is it a swonking problem?

Thanks,
Amber

Netscape And IE
hello.

I am having trouble with my site. It works fine in IE, but Netscape doesn't show the new files I uploaded to my server and constantly says "tranferring data" in the bottom of the browser.

Does anyone know what's wrong? I use MX, and am cetain I updated to Flash Play V7 on Netscape, but IE might still have V6. Could that be the problem?

I don't think so because all I did was add an extra library-linkable MC to the site, and it reads the other 10+ linked MC's fine.

can somebody check to see if they work fine in both on their computer?

Netscape 7 Please Help
ok, thought I would start to make my new site work with netscape7.

FSCommand - works fine but cant get the following to work

window.open to call a popup

or

SetVariable - to return a value to flash.

Now if this really is a problem - why are flash developers still using netscape when it is so full of bugs..

I donloaded it 3 days ago and it didnt even have the most uptodate player..

I new there was a reason I like IE. everything works the way it is supposed to.

Anyway any AS Developers have an answere please help so I can make my new site cross browser compatible.

Netscape And IE
Because I have heard the Flash isn't transparent in Netscape, is there anyway I can have my site detect what browser the user is using and the right page show up?

I have two webpage versions one uses flash other doesn't.

thanks,

Netscape 4.7 Bug
Hi,
I made a drop down menu with flash in my index page. It works well in the IE. But in Netscape 4.7, when I click on the sub menu "Academic Credits", it says "The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it. " It really bugs me.

Does anyone have a clue? The URL of my website is http://uofmpt.memphis.edu/minghui

Thanks.

IE / Netscape Compatibiblity?
Hey. I just finished work on a full-feature site made completely in flash. My problem regards the way it functions in IE vs. Netscape. It seems to run fine in IE, but in Netscape, none of the buttons work correctly (i.e. instead of perfoming the correct action, they just cause the entire movie to re-start itself when clicked). I have only tested the site out on a mac, so I don't know if the pc versions will be any better/worse. The site is quite heavily actionscripted, but Im not sure if this has anything to do with it. Does anybody have any information regarding how netscape & IE interpret flash actionscripting? is there a particular line of code that tends to be buggy in one or the other? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Devil Netscape...
I don't know whether this is the right board for this question but then I don't know the root of the problem!

Can any one tell me why this site doesn't work on Netscape
(I've downloaded the flash player etc). It works fine on IE

http://www.casalia.co.uk

It just says Movie not loaded when I right click it. Is this something obvious?

Thanks in advance.
