Scrollpane Component Styling

Custom Component Styling Help
Hi

i'm trying to create a component , everything is working so far , except for one problem.
i had my class inherit from the FUIComponents Class so i could easily use skins in my component.

i have a skin called window_mc

it has three skin elements. i used something like
component.registerSkinElement(background_mc, "background");
to register them.


i have added this to the first frame in the timeline
mycomponent.setStyleProperty("background", 0x000099);

and it works ! the thing turns blue.

the problem now is if i add 2 instances of the component on the stage.
if i then set the components to 2 different colors
they will show the correct 2 different colors in my live preview movie but not when i publish it. both the component will have the same color if you test the movie.

if have tested alot , the components have other variables that do work with more than 1 instance. even alpha works seperate , only the styles are messed up.

i know that this is probably a what the **** is this guy saying to a lot of people , but i'm hoping some of you actually know what i'm talkin about

here is the link to the fla if you want to check it out
http://users.pandora.be/dreams/component_test.fla

here is a link to the html if you just want to preview it
http://users.pandora.be/dreams/component_test.html

so to summarise :
the components colors work inside the fla , but not when you view the swf. in the swf they all have the same color.

i'm not totally expecting an answer on this one , but sure am hoping :-)

Styling List Component
Hi guys, I am looking to style the list component and I haven't been able to do what I am looking for.

Is there anyway to control the height of each line? IE: I need to condense the line height so the list isn't so spread out. I find that there is too much room above each item in the list.
Also, there is a left-margin that I would like to get rid of.

Any tips or links regarding re-styling the list component would be of great help. Thanks!

List Component Styling Question
Hey everyone,
I'm currently skinning and styling a List component. I'd like the text color of the items to change on a rollover but I'm not sure what the most efficient way of doing that is. I guess I could setup event listeners and use change the cellRenderer property when the event is triggered but that seems like reinventing the wheel to me. Is there an easier way to do it?

I thought of extending the CellRenderer but I do not know what methods to overwrite to include changing text color. Any ideas?

Targeting/Styling Items In List Component
Hello all,
This question specifically deals with AS3 and list components.

I've got an XML/Flash Video player that lists the videos with a thumbnail and description in a list component. I got the source files from an Adobe tutorial: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/ar..._playlist.html.

I'm able to style everything the way I want it. The problem comes when I try to attribute a specific text style to a selected item. I understand how the information is being taken from the XML and looped into the list component. What I don't get is how you reference a particular item in the list and whether or not you can attribute a different style to that item when the event listener fires.

Here's the AS code referring to the event listener for a selected item:

Code:
public function initMediaPlayer(event:Event):void {

var myXML:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var item:XML;
for each(item in myXML.vid) { // populate playlist.
var thumb:String;
if(item.hasOwnProperty("@thumb")>0) thumb = item.@thumb;
tileList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(),
data:item.attribute("src").toXMLString(),
source:thumb});

}

tileList.selectedIndex = 0; // Select the first video.
tileList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);// Listen for item selection.

myVid.source = tileList.selectedItem.data;// And automatically load it into myVid.
myVid.pause();// Pause video until selected or played.
}


// Detect when new video is selected, and play it
function listListener(event:Event):void {
myVid.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);

//DEFINE STYLES FOR SELECTED ITEM
textStyleOn = new TextFormat();
textStyleOn.font = "Arial";
textStyleOn.color = 0x97b9f9;
textStyleOn.size = 10;

// HERE'S WHERE I'D LIKE TO REFERENCE THE ITEM SELECTED
// AND CHANGE IT'S STYLES. QUESTION IS, HOW DO I REFERENCE
// ONLY THIS LIST ITEM?

}
In the interest of full disclosure, there's another AS file being referenced that grabs the thumbnailed images for the list

Styling Text In A List Component (or Components In General)
Hey,

I need to style a list to have the following format (it lists a bunch of products)...

A
then a bunch of products that start with the letter A
B
then a bunch of products that start with the letter B
C
then a bunch of products that start with the letter C


and so forth... I think you get the idea

The letters A,B,C, etc need to have their own line as well as their own font size, as well as be centered in the list.

How can I achieve this effect?

BTW all my data will come from a XML file.

[Component] Targeting Flash 6 ScrollPane Component
Hey All,

Been a while... hopefully somebody can provide some insight into what I am missing here.

I have a Flash 6 ScrollPane - yes, I know it's old, but it is also easy to do custom skinning. I had data loading into it from the library by using createEmptyMovieClip and then attachMovie to grab an MC from the library.

This all worked fine until I had to place the ScrollPane into a MC in the library, dynamically attach it to the stage and then assign the content. Now I can only get my content MC to display on top of the ScrollPane, not in it. Here is a sample:


ActionScript Code:
function showPop(popType) {
    popContainer = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("popWindow_mc", 350);
    popWindow = popContainer.attachMovie("pop", "pop_mc", 1);
   
    popWindow.pop_sp.boundingBox_mc._visible = false;
   
    popScrollClip = popWindow.createEmptyMovieClip("scrollClip_mc", 400);
    popScrollContent = popScrollClip.attachMovie("scrollMC_disclaimer", "scrollContent_mc", 1);
   
    popWindow.pop_sp.setScrollContent(popScrollClip);
};


"pop" is the linkage name of the MC that contains the ScrollPane and "scrollMC_disclaimer" is the linkage name of the MC that is the content to be scrolled.

Any ideas as to what I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ScrollPane Component
Hi Folks

Got this one Problem with the ScrollPane. I've got one Movieclip as Content. Inside this MC another MC is placed which creates dynamically textfields as many as an array has values.Just as shown in the Script below. Well it all works fine but the big Probelm is that the Scrollpane doesn't react on the Content there are not shown any Scrollbars, although the Textfields are overlapping the Size of the ScrollPane.

Has anybody an Idea how this could work?

ActionScript:
----------------------
list=[several values];
function buildList() {
var Content = display.getScrollContent();
trace(Content);
spacing=30;
var i =-1;
while (++i<list.length) {
name="infoBar"+i;
y=i*spacing;
Content.list.attachMovie("infoBar",name,i),
Content.list[name]._y = y;
Content.list[name].sentence.text=list[i];
}
}
buildList();

How To Set Up ScrollPane Component
I have searched and been through the help files, to figure out how to get the scroll pane compnonent to work, maybe I am tired??????

It says to add the your MC to the Scroll Content in the Properties box, if so, how do you add multiples? meaning how to seperate them? While putting these names in is it the linkage name assigned to the MC?

Basically is there any Action Script to go along with this? A tutorial would be nice.

ScrollPane Component?
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to setup a table(consisting of a number of text boxes) in FlashMX. I'd like to make this table scrollable.

I convert my table(containing text boxes) into a movieclip, and then attach a ScrollPane component to it. Uptil here, it seems ok. When I test the movie, the movieclip scrolls, but it is also displayed outside the scroll area.

I've experienced this with text boxes only. As long as I put a movieclip(e.g. containing a .jpg image) into the scrollbox, there is no problem, i.e. it shows the image only inside the scrollarea.

You can check out the attached file.

Any ideas??
Thanks,

Omer

cheers

ScrollPane Component: Help
Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me with this. I am trying to creat a basic scroll pane which will contain text. I have followed these steps so far:

1. I made the .swf file (sampletext.swf) that will be the content of the scroll pane
2. In a new movie clip, I dragged the ScrollPane component from the components menu to the stage.
3. In the scroll pane's properties panel, I named the instance "biotext"
4. In the parameters tab, I typed "sampletext.swf" in the contentPath field.
5. In the movie clip's timeline, I selected the 1st frame and typed in this code in the actions panel:

scrollListener = new Object();
scrollListener.scroll = function (evt){
txtPosition.text = biotext.vPosition;
}
biotext.addEventListener("scroll", scrollListener);
completeListener = new Object;
completeListener.complete = function() {
trace("sampletext.swf has completed loading.");
}
biotext.addEventListener("complete", completeListener);

That's all I have done. I am not sure what else to do.
SOS,
Sabrina

How To Use The Scrollpane Component?
Hey Everyone,

Quick question. How to I complete the following task? Is the Scrollpane the best way?

In the website listed below you will see text that fits in a space below the navigation. The client wants additional text there. I want to keep the large S (i think it is called a drop Cap) and have it scroll with the rest of the text.

I want to add scrollable text to the following website David Furman Architecture
I created all the text in flash including the large "S" at the beginning. This is composed of 3 text boxes. I want this to be scrollable. Can I make this a movie clip and place this into a scrollpane?

If so, how do you do it?

Thanks for your help,

[F8] Add ScrollPane Component
Attached is the image of what I'm trying to do. I want to add a scroll bar to the thumbnails on the left - which will be buttons to produce the larger image on the right.

When I open the Components panel and click the UI Components and drag a scrollPane comp9onent onto the stage and then select the parameters tab I'm confused about the contentPath. My thumnail images are six buttons lined up vertically in one movie clip. I don't have them moving; they are all in one frame and the mc is titled "thumbs." But if I put just "thumbs" in the contentPath field nothing shows up in the scroll box. It says you can put a .jpg, .swf, clip, or movie in there so if it were just one image I guess it would be thumbs.jpg. But it's a movie clip. So I'm not sure what the full path name is. I tried writing the entire path:

Macintosh HD:Userswner:documents:blog:site:dogs.fla:thumbs but that didn't work.

I hope this is enough info for someone to help me. Thanks.

I have movieClips in a scrollPane that I am using as buttons. What I want to do is when the main timeline reaches a frame have the color of the button change. I can get it to work outside the scrollPane. But when I attach it to the scrollPane I can get the path right to control the movieClip inside tyhe scrollPane. I gave the movieClip and the scrollPane instance names.

For example the path I was using is myScrollPane.myMovieClip.myButton.chenges color.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks

I used a pair of buttons to scale the movieClip inside the ScrollPane,although the drag function worked just fine, the scrollbars didn't adjust to show the contents properly.

Help With The ScrollPane Component Please
Hi and thank you for reading my thread.

I have used the scrollpane component in a flash animation in order to integrate it into a website so that I can scroll text in a smaller area. The problem that I have is that with scrollpane, you import an image into your library which you can then scroll in the animation. Now the actual problem is that I need certain text in the scroll area to be a hyperlink to another site. You can include hyperlinks in an image.... Any ideas how I could solve this? Or maybe another way of doing the same thing I am trying to do with the scrollpane?

You can see what I mean here:
http://www.ahproyectos.com/haus/haus.htm
Its a website I am designing and in the scroll section in the middle, I would need to set hyperlinks for the images etc...

Thank you all for your help!

ScrollPane Component
I've looked around and didn't see anything about this so I thought I'd ask.
Anyone know how to manipulate the style of the scrollpane component?
Does this involve Action script or can it be adjusted on the stage (color of bar, track, etc.)?
The parameters don't seem to do a whole lot other than the basics and a Google search doesn't give a whole lot of information either.

any help would be mucho-appreciato.

thanks!

I was wondering if you could mask a ScrollPane component, so that a piece of the movieclip you're scrolling is not visible ( see the screenshot I've attached, that little bit of text on the left bottom of the frame should be invisible )

I've tried to do this, but appearently the mask is just being ignored or somethin', dunno. And how do you like the screenshot ?

I ham having trouble keeping track of multiple items that I add to my scrollPane called room. One item in the room works farily well but when two or more are added, I can only work with the last item added and none of the others. Can anyone help me with this?


ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();myXML.ignoreWhite = true;libraryList_ar = new Array();combo_list.dataProvider = libraryList_ar;myXML.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) {  //trace(this);     var libraries = this.firstChild;  var dValue = this.firstChild.attributes.name;  //trace(dValue);  combo_list.textField.label.text = "Library";  var libCount = libraries.childNodes.length;  //trace(libCount);  var libItems = libraries.firstChild.childNodes.length;  //trace(libItems);     for (var i = 0; i<libCount; i++) {   //libraryList_ar[i] = libraries.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;   libraryList_ar[i] = new Object();   libraryList_ar[i].label = libraries.childNodes[i].attributes.Text;   libraryList_ar[i].data = libraries.childNodes[i];   //save reference here  } }};myXML.load("itemMenu.xml");//myXML.load("myXML.xml");//loading_txt.autoSize = true;loading_txt.text = "";loading_txt._visible = false;// resize loading images to thumbnail sizevar MAX_WIDTH:Number = 50;var MAX_HEIGHT:Number = 50;//var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();var mclListener:Object = new Object();mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) { loading_txt.text = "Loading..."; // set variables to keep the original image dimensions var xw = mc._width; var xh = mc._height; // // where image width is greater than image height if (mc._width>mc._height) {  mc._width = MAX_WIDTH;  mc._height = (mc._height*MAX_WIDTH)/xw;  // center image  mc._y = (75-mc._height)/2; } //where image height is greater than image width if (mc._height>mc._width) {  mc._height = MAX_HEIGHT;  mc._width = (mc._width*MAX_HEIGHT)/xh;  mc._x = (75-mc._width)/2; } // // loading_txt._visible = false;};//_global.count = 0;//combo_list.change = function(eventObj) { thumbs.invalidate(); thumbs.refreshPane(); // var selItem:Object = eventObj.target.selectedItem; //trace("Item selected was:  "+selItem.label); var itemXML:XMLNode = selItem.data; //use saved reference to iterate through childNodes for (var idx = 0; idx<itemXML.childNodes.length; idx++) {  trace("Item includes: "+itemXML.childNodes[idx].attributes.Text);  var t_mc:MovieClip;  t_mc = thumbs.content.attachMovie("thumb_mc", "thumb"+idx, idx, this.getNextHighestDepth());  t_mc._x = 5;  t_mc._y = 5+(idx*80);  //this loads the swf into the thumbs scrollPane  _root["mc"+idx] = new MovieClipLoader();  _root["mc"+idx].addListener(mclListener);  _root["mc"+idx].loadClip("decals/"+itemXML.childNodes[idx].attributes.ItemSWF+".swf", t_mc.Container_mc);  //_root["mc"+idx].loadClip(itemXML.childNodes[idx].attributes.ItemSWF+".swf", t_mc.Container_mc);  //  t_mc.idx = idx;  t_mc.piece = itemXML.childNodes[idx].attributes.ItemSWF;  //  t_mc.onRelease = function() {   //trace(this.now)     // this adds the item to the room   var tmp:MovieClip = room.content.createEmptyMovieClip("myLoader"+count, count+100);   count++;   mcl.loadClip("decals/"+this.piece+".swf", tmp);   //mcl.loadClip(this.piece+".swf", tmp);   tmp._x = 100;   tmp._y = 100;   trace("tmp= "+tmp);   _global.temp_mc = tmp;  }; }};combo_list.addEventListener("change", combo_list);//clear_btn.onRelease = function() { //trace(count); count--; room.content["myLoader"+count]._visible = 0; //room.content.temp_mc._visible = 0;  if (count == -1) {  mx.controls.Alert.show("The room is empty!");  count = 0; }};//room.content.onPress = function() {  temp_mc.startDrag();};room.content.onRelease = function() { temp_mc.stopDrag();};
