Scroll A Movie Clip W Relative Scrolling
I've been doing the ActionScript bible's ch35 scrolling/dragging effect lessons to help me build a scroll bar to control a movie clip without tweening - my up and down arrows are fine, but my problem is that in the book they introduce the scroller handle to scroll dynamic text - ok fine. I did that. Now I'm trying to manipulate it to scroll using the same relative logic on a movie clip object. Is there a good slider tutorial out there - if so I can't find it. My slider is going up and down just fine but it's not moving my content movie clip. My content movie clip is called 'content'. ...end of my rope here.

To Scroll A Movie Clip
Hi, I am trying to make a scrollbar that can scroll movie clip (or HTML w/ images, that'd be the ultimate goal). Somebody sent me a FLA file that I THINK was made by Claudia (sp?), however I would love to read some explaination of setting it up. Anybody knows of a link to a tutorial site with better explaination? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Scroll Movie Clip
I'm posting again because i didn't get an answer i wanted. If you visit pixelranger
you will find on the home page is a movie clip scroller, with up, down, buttons and a dragbar. This scroller operates like a browser scroller, or iframe scroller, except in flash. Does anyone know how to replicate it, so it actually looks like a scrollbar ? I can't seem to find any tutorials on this.

Scroll Movie Clip
Hi everyone

I can't get my head round making a simple scrolling movie clip

The only website I have found what I'm looking for is Britney Spears I would be grateful if you could take a look at that home page, there is a scrollable latest news section with text and graphics. It is very simple but effective I like just the white block scrolling.

I have tried to do this but I can't quite get it right. the scroller will not stop exactly where i want it etc!!!

I would really appreciate it if anyone knows how to make this editable movie clip scroll? Even better if someone has already made a script like this that can be downloaded.

Thanks guys, i'm sorry about the long post!

How To Scroll A Movie Clip?
I have looked all over the web and I can't seem to find anything that tells how to scroll a movie clip from left to right. I want to add a scrollbar to a series of movie clips since I am making a thumbnail gallery where you click on thumbnails and they load up larger clips. I used to use the ultimate scroller by flashloaded.com when I was doing things in as2, but of course, none of that works with as3. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Movie Clip Scroll
I have these buttons inside a movie clip and when you drag the button I wanted the movie clip to scroll up but instead it scrolls down. I find this code hard to modify. To give you a better picture of the problem here is the code on the button that drags the movie clip

ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
startDrag (/:this, false, 240, 15, 512, 15);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}

And this is the code on the Movie Clip

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
MovieHeight = 135;
ScrollHeight = this._height - MovieHeight;
ScrollbarWidth = MovieHeight - _root.drag._width;
Proportion = ScrollHeight/ScrollbarWidth;
this._y = Proportion * _root.drag._x *-1;
}

Now how can I make the movie clip scroll up ward and not down ward? No matter how hard I tried it just doesn't work.

Help With 'locking' Movie Clips To Another Scrolling Movie Clip.
Hi there, I am working on a project that needs a map of a city. Because the map is too big to fit on screen I decided to have controls to pan it around north south east and west. This works fine, but I want to represent points of interest throughout the city with animated movieclips overlaid on the map.

I have set up the movie so that the overlaid clips scroll with the map, however when the map reaches its boundaries the overlaid clips keep scrolling. So in effect what I need is to find a way to 'lock' the overlaid clips onto the _x and _y axis of the map. Any ideas how I can do this?

I realise this might be a little hard to understand on its own, so I have included the .fla file for you to play around with. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Scroll A Movie Clip Without Scrollpane?
I like the scrollpane it's just that I don't like the border that it gives me. It seems you can't change it's appearance either so does anyone know how to scroll a movie clip any other way? I guess I would need some actionscript but I'm not a very proficient programmer so...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Basic Movie Clip Scroll
Hi guys, maybe somebody can help me?

Im trying to build a simple flash site with a scrolling movie clip across the page. The movie clip needs to scroll because it is too wide for the movie. It needs a "scroll right" and a "scroll left" button - which work when hovered over.

I have acheived the desired effect using

Code:
on (rollOver) {
setProperty(myScrollingClip,_x,(intPosition-1));
}

as the action on the "scroll right" button, and

Code:
intPosition = getProperty(myScrollingClip,_x);}

as a frame action.

It works once, but doesn't keep scrolling when the mouse is kept over the button!!

If anyone can help with this I will be most grateful, thank you.

Scroll In Movie Clip Issue.
I am using this action on two movie clips up and down arrows for dynamic text.

this is the down arrow:

onClipEvent ( enterFrame ) {
if (lPressed) {
_root.textloader.scroll += 1;
}

Up arrow:

onClipEvent ( enterFrame ) {
if (lPressed) {
_root.textloader.scroll -= 1;
}
}

It works fine but I have the whole object now in a movie clip due to site layout and now it will not work. Why? I tried to switch arrows to buttons but not sure on how to change the command "action" lines for this.

Help please.

Thanks

Scroll Bar Down Arroy - Movie Clip
on (press, keyPress "<Down>") {
_root.mov_y2 = -280;
}

This the AS for a down arrow on a scroll bar I made for scrolling a movie clip.

What I WANT to do is set it up so that when the user clicks again, after the initial click, it will go to another Y coordinate, i.e. scrolls my movie clip down farther.

Ideas?

Thanks!!!

Help On Buttons To Scroll Movie Clip
Hi everyone,

im trying to get my movie clip which is inserted into a mask layer and scrollable through the use of a scroller to also scroll through the use of buttons.

So far i can get the movie clip to move slightly on one click but then it moves back to its original position. I am using the following on release command at the moment but to no avail:

on (release) {
setInterval(Update, 1000);
function Update()
{
movIn._x = ((movMask._x-5-movScroller._x-5)*1+movMask._x;
}
}

anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? I think it might be something to do with an update, how do I update movIn's new positions after using it?

Thank You

Scroll Movie Clip Down Button

Controlling Another Movie Clip With A Scroll Bar
Ok,

If I take a sound clip that I manipulate in sound forge that starts at an engine idle and progresses to a high rpm engine sound, and then I import that as a flash movie clip:

On another level I have a scroll bar, I create an object sound in that movie clip.

How do I make the scroll bar (slides up and down on _y axis) call to play specific frames of the RPM sound as the scroll bar accelerates up the _y?

If the origin of _y is _y + 255, and the top of the accelerator scroll bar is _y + 155, and my engine sound clip is 100 frames long, I want to call to frame 1 of the sound when _y is at _y + 255 and when _y = _y+200 I want to call to the sound at frame 50, and when _y = _y + 150 I want to make the sound play at 100, the peak engine performance sound. But as the scroll comes back down to _y + 255 the sound needs to know how to regress as well.

Thanks for any input!!!

Scrolling Out A Movie Clip

Scrolling Movie Clip
I have a movie clip that contains a really long sequence of images. Its easier if you look at http://www.measuretwicecutonce.co.uk and click on "work", which functions fine right now.
Basically i need to add more people to the list but when the clip gets too long the images appear all stretched and stripey although they are in their correct proportions.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix or is it just that you cannot go beyond certain limits of the Flash stage?

Scrolling Movie Clip
I've got a movie clip, and a scrollbar on the side that controls it, with up and down arrows. The up and down arrows work (they control the movie clip) but you have to keep pressing them; you can't just hold them and them them scroll. How can I make it so the user can hold it and it will keep scrolling?
