Scroll Bar Component
Hello all,
I have a scroll bar question. Is there something special that I need to do when using this component with a dynamic text field that is importing the text in order for it to work. I have no trouble with the scroll bar when using it on a dynamic text field when the text is created within Flash. I only have trouble when the text is imported. The parameters for the scroll tell me that it is attached to the text field, but when I publish, the text shows up and the scroll bar is disabled. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Scroll Bar Component
I've put a scrollbar (UI Component) and a textfield which can display the value of a variable (call it "a").
However, when I assign values to "a" using actionscripts, the scrollbar doesn't work even the textfield is not large enough to show all the contents.
What's the problem?
Scroll Component
Hi, dunno if I should have posted this in the n00b section =), but anyway here goes..
I got a scroller component from a magazine (Computer Arts #33) and I was able to get it to work fine. But when the swf with the scroll component is loaded into my main movie the draggable part of the scrollbar stops working =(
I think it might have to do with that the different component parts refer to "_parent" instead of a specific target.. but that's just my guess.. i dont know any actionscript, so ill leave the problem to yuz guyz =)
You can download the files from http://www.acceon.net
Thanx!
Scroll Bar Component
Hi,
I just made a dynamic text box and filled it with text that was bigger than the box. The extra text was hidden right.
I dropped in the scrollbar component gave it a target and it worked great. I closed the file. The when I reopened it the text box had resized to the size of the text. Like the excess wasn't hidden anymore. I tried to resize it smaller than the text and it doesn't want to shrink smaller. Why? Thanks

UI Scroll Bar Component
I have attached a UI Scroll bar component (MX 2004) to a dynamic text field. It snaps to the text field as indicated in the Help Guide. The vertical size of the scroll bar matches the height of the text field. However, there is no thumbwheel or end caps visible. Clicking on the track does cause the text to scroll however (though you can't click all the way to the top or bottom of the file).
I tried changing the MinMaxSize parameters (NOT LISTED IN THE DAMN HELP GUIDE) but saw no change. Anyone else used one of these animals?

Scroll Bar Component
Background: I have a text field that reads in the text from an external file. I want this to be scrollable but I see the ScrollBar component was missing from Flash MX 2004. I also see that this is a known issue on the Macromedia support pages (http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_19237) and they recommend creating it yourself either with a TextArea or from scratch with ActionScript. The TextArea solution didn't seem to fit the bill and the ActionScript they provided produced several errors and didn't work as intended.
Question: What is an easy way to add a scroll bar to a text area that loads in from an external file?

Component Scroll Bar For Flash MX
I notice that when I use the component scroll bar in my movie, it adds 16kb to the first frame, preventing anything from loading (and the user from seeing anything). How can I move that kb down the line to a different point in the movie? I used a GUI scroll bar. If this is not possible, are there any tutorials on creating a scroll bar between arrows that scroll text created in Flash (NO EXTERNAL TEXT FILES). Thanks, Tim
Scroll Bar Component And Fonts
Im having a problem with the scroll bar component for a cd presentation im designing. For the text in the scroll bar to appear correctly you have to have the font on your system. Is there a way to get around this? Please let me know of alternatives. Thanks

Scroll Text Component
I have created a scroll text bar with the components that comes with Flash MX. It works fine , but I find out that somehow I cannot make a word or perhaps a sentence to be italic or bold etc. If I change one word to a different font,the whole scroll text's font will be changed.
Am I doing something wrong???
Thank you so much for all the help!

I just spent two hours on a tutorial on scroll bars in Flash 5 and I am still lost. Hopefully the component in Flash MX makes it easier for simple minded artists like myself. Any and all info is greatly appreciated from the great minds out in cyber space. Please hear my prayers oh great ones!!!
Component Scroll Width
Hi,
I am using components in a project, which i need to skin to fit with the graphics of the site. Its all working fine except I need to adjust the width of the scrollbar in various components.
I have found that the width of a scrollBar component itself can be adjusted by using this code:
Code:
myScrollInstance._width = 5;
But how do I adjust the width of a scrollBar inside of another component? I imagine its a case of knowing where to put the actionscript, and how to target the scrollBar inside the component to define its width?
I already posted something about this, but I think my question was too specific before...
Thanks in advance, Matt

Scroll Bar Ui Component Horizontal How-to

I cannot get it to work horizontal true.

I have a text field that I want to scroll, but I do not have enough room on the side. So I am trying to put a scroll bar at the bottom and if it works, I then plan on changing the skin of the arrows to point up and down.
Am I on the right track?????

Scroll Bar Component Won't Function
I can't get my scroll bars to work in my movie. It is attached. I am thinking that because all the scroll bars are labeled the same instance name, that they don't know which text to pull from, thus making them not work. If you could take a look at it and figure it out, I'd appreciate it.
I actually made a text field apart distinctively different, but still no luck.

Customizing The Scroll Component...
Hi you all!
Is there a way to customize the Scrollbar Component that comes with Flash MX?
We are doing some stuff that needs a scroll bar with a specific look, and we have one, but it just does not work when it comes to scrolling dynamic text. So we thought of changing the look & feel of the Scrollbar Component. Is it at all possible?
Thanks for any light you can give us.

Scroll Pane Component
OK, components for some reason as simple as they are supposed to be throw me for a loop. Off the Flash UI components that come with Flash MX I am trying to use the scroll pane component. I'm guessing the scroll content field in the properties inspector is where I am supposed to type a reference to a file that loads in the scroll pane. I cannot however come up with the proper syntax as I have tried many variations and come up with nothing in the scroll pane. All I am trying to do is show some text in the scroll pane. This has to be basic. Anyone that could give me a brief example would be so greatly appreciated. I have tried the help utility for the component and am stil lgetting nowhere. Thanks for any help.
Scroll Pane Component Help
I created a scroll pane component which I named imgScroll and put it on a layer on the main timeline. I created a movie clip named goldDis This movie clip has an image of gold disk placed in it.
I then tried to assign the set scroll content action to the scroll pane component so that it would display the movie clip name goldDis. I did not give the movie clip an instance name but just referred to as goldDis when I needed to add something in the action boxes. Basically the action attached to the scroll pane looks like this:
onClipEvent (load) {
imgScroll.setScrollContent("goldDis");
}
On publishing the movie I see the scroll pane as an outline with the goldDis movie clip inside it. Am I supposed to see the goldDis movie clip inside of the scroll pane when the movie is published? Is there anything I am missing in the above action?
Thanks
How To Refresh The Scroll Bar Within A Component?
I'm playing with resizing the Text Area component in flash MX 2004. I am dynamically importing new content into the TextArea and resizing the TextArea at the same time. When I decrease the text box to less than 45 pixels the automatic Scroll bar dissapears. When I resize to a larger dimension the scroll bar does not refresh.
so long as I do not go below 45 pixels the scroller increases and decreases as well as disables and enables according to the content.
So in short is there a command to refresh the scroll bar?
Soft (looking) Scroll Component
I hope this isn't too stupid but...
I am using the generic Flash scroll bar component.
I dropped it in and started using it no problems at all (I wish I'd used it before in fact.) But when I publish, the scroll bar looks soft (as in out of focus.)
Anyone else seen this? (And got a remedy.)
What Happened To The Scroll Bar Component?
I'm trying to create a dynamic flash along with php to create some dynamic text display. But I looked in Flash MX 2004 Professional but it's no longer ther as it was in Flash MX. I know there is a text area component but need to create a dynamic text yeah with a vertical scroll bar. Any ideas?
