Scroller Resize When Browser Resizes Please Help
Please does anyone know what I'm missing? I need when the browser resizes to resize the scroller bar and mask also, I have got it to that stage it works fine when you resize the swf but when its embedded in a browser like explorer and you resize the browser the swf and scroller will not resize.

What I'm trying to achieve is something like this:
http://www.createthe.com

My script is this:
Stage.align = "LT";
// prevent the Flash movie from resizing when the browser window changes size.
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

// create a listener object
stageListener = new Object();
// add a methods for it to do certain things when the Stage is resized by our user
stageListener.onResize = function() {

scroller_ex();
}

Stage.addListener(stageListener);

scroller_ex = function() {
_root.body_txt.theMask._height = Stage.height - _root.body_txt.theMask._y - 10;

}

Scroller - Browser Vs. External Flash Player
Hi,

Having a strange problem with a vertical scrolling menu - here is the script:

on(press){
startDrag(this,0,0,0,0,_parent._parent.thelist.bar Dis);
_parent._parent.thelist.clicked = true;
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
stopDrag();
_parent._parent.thelist.clicked = false;
}

This script is on a sliding button that when clicked and dragged scrolls a menu movie to the left of it. When I view it by opening the SWF in Flash MX 2004, it scrolls fine (when you click, the cursor turns into a pointing hand). When it's in a browser, when I click it the cursor turns into a circle with a line through it, and won't scroll. When I release the mouse, however, the slider jumps to the right place and the movie moves. It just doesn't scroll. Is this a verion issue? My IE Flash plugin is up to date.

Thanks!

Stage Align Problem - Full Browser Wlash With Scroller
Hello everyone,
I've been searching how to make full browser flash site with flash scroller in it, just like here:
http://www.stilva.com/#/book/
and hopefully, I've found the solution at this forum. Everything looks great (even the scroller appears to be identical), but there seems to be one problem... The flash content is not centered in the browser window in fact, it is aligned to the left. I had my flash centered horizontally, but with this scroller it just cannot work this way. I used

ActionScript Code:
Stage.align = "TC";
which aligned flash exactly in center, but it made scroller go far right even beyond browser itself o.O ; unfortunately, the scroller uses the same AS

ActionScript Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
which makes stage and it's content go to the left side of the browser window.
So, my question is - how to make everything centered horizontally, while scaling browser window, so the scroller can stick to the right border?
Could someone help me find a solution?
Sorry for my English, check the demo file so you can understand what I mean...

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() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};

if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;
}
};
scrolling();

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

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;
}

Full Browser Flash, Vertical Scrollbar Just Like Browser?
In short:
http://www.subdisc.com/
Look at the right scrollbar, how do I accomplish this?

The height of my site site is bigger than the Stage.height.
I could use a browser scrollbar via Java, but since I want to be free in design of every component I would rather use a flash scrollbar.
But how?

Full Browser Flash Detecting Browser Size Help.
http://akmphoto.net/akmdesign_new.html

Anyone know the AS to make it automatically check the size of the browser for the listeners.... _notice when you resize the browser it works perfectly...but not when it first loads up...any ideas?

Code:
// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";
// *** Stop the stage from scaling with the browser window.
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stop ();
// initiate postitions and scaling values for objects
fluid._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2
fluid._y = Stage.height/2
bottomstretch._height = Stage.height;
rightstretch._height = Stage.height;
topstretch._width = Stage.width;
rightstretch._x=201;
tutoriobutton._x = Stage.width - tutoriobutton._width

bottomo._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2
// end initial position setting

//create a listner that checks to see if the browser window is resized
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
// change movieclip properties when the window is resized.
topstretch._width = Stage.width;
fluid._y = Stage.height/3;
fluid._x = (Stage.width + 200)/3;
bottomstretch._height = Stage.height;

//*note* 200 is the width of the left column
tutoriobutton._x = Stage.width - tutoriobutton._width
bottomo._y = Stage.height/1;
bottomo._x = (Stage.width + 200)/2;
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Where To Get New Browser Profiles For Browser Compat Checks?
Does anybody know where I can get updated browser profiles for the browser compatibility check tool ("target browsers") in Dreamweaver MX 2004? My current list only goes up to IE 6 and Mozilla 1. I've looked around on the Adobe website and can't find anything, even in the Exchanges.

Thanks for your help,

Fullscreen Swf In Browser Without Any Of The Browser Elements...
Hi Guys,

Browser Inside A Browser
Hello all.
This is my first post. I have a question that might not even be possible but we'l give it a shot anyway. I would like to have a browser inside my flash movie. Basically I have a portfolio of sites that I have done and would like the sites to pop up in the flash movie with in a small window with all the browser functionality.
I know that I can do this by re-creating the sites inside flash and doing a screen print of a browser, then creating the site in the browser img. But that is not completely what I want. I want the browser inside Flash to be dependant upon the browser the user is using. Say the user is using Firefox, I want the browser to come up in Firefox vs. IE, Opera or anything else...
Does anyone know if this can be done? I am using Flash MX 2004 Pro. Thank you very much for any help or direction.

Scroller Help
What I want to know is

if you make a scroller you have to make restrictions to the StartDrag ( top, bottom, left and right)
And now I'm wondering If you have a MC (MAIN)
and in that mc have an other MC (SCROLLER)(with the scroller and the scrolled text in it)
then how can you set the Startdrag properties(top,bottom, left right) with the _X position and _y position of the SCROLLER Mc instead of the MAIN mc

Scroller Within MC
I've got a simple text scroller worked out iwth actionscript but i want to place the whole thing within another movie clip. The problem is I don't know how to self refrence the clip for the buttons to control the text object.

{
if (hitTest( _root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false))
{
for (i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++)
{
if (_root.Myobject._x > -50)

Scroller. Can U Help Me With This?
Hello,

i am creating a scroller which has the buttons Up, Down and the small bar inside the scroll bar which u can drag up and down.
i want to scroll a MC.

I made everything work but if i drag the small bar in the end the position of the MC will be a few pixels (sometimes 5 to 10) different from the position i would get using the down or up button.

Does anyone has some kind od code which does this?
If u want i can also send my code so u can see what is wrong. I think it's because of the way i did it and the aproximations...

Anyway, if someone knows some really good code which scrolls a MC with Up, Down buttons, and dragable bar, let me know.

Do the components have the dragable bar? until now i couldn't find any.

Thanks,
Miguel

Scroller Help
Hi, I am hoping someone could help me understand and change this movie clip i have (Flash - 5 btw).
The movie clip is a scroller which I download a while back (I can't remember where from now).
The contents of the scroller which i want to scroll is a seperate movie clip which loads it's contents from a .txt file.

The problems I am having are:

1 - I cannot seem to change the height of the text box movie, I can change it in flash, but when i publish and play it just appears at a set size.

2 - the last link in the contents jumps like crazy when I hoover over it.

3 - when there is less content than the size of the text box I would like the scroller to disapear.

4 - If I add a mask around the text box, the contents disapear, i have in place a custom mask for the mean time but this will have to go.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
