Scrollpane Much Needed Help



Hey guys,
I am kind of a newbie with flash. Im pretty good at basic things and am learning as I go, but I have run into a problem that I do not know how to fix. It deals with a scroll window. On one of my pages, i have a scroll window with thumbnails of pictures, the user can click on the thumbnail and the picture will enlarge to another part of the page. By clicking on the thumbnail, it basically opens another movie on top of the one playing. The problem I have is that when I try to go to another part of the site, the larger picture that opened up doesnt close. I cant get it to disappear. If you have any ideas on what I can do to fix this or have a better way for me to show the picture, please let me know.

You can see the site at www.ecorparchitects.com. If you click on the big e to enter the site, then click on the projects button, this will open the page i am dealing with. If you click on one of the pictures in the scroll window, then try to go to another part of the site, say profile, the picture remains there.

If you need to see the fla files, just let me know. I will be happy to provide it.

Thanks for your help.
Dave

Scrollpane Help Needed
When I put in a movieclip (one that has more than one frame) in a scrollpane, what action script can I put in a button (one that isn't in the movieclip) so that I can choose which frames I want the movie clip to be on?


I'd like an example of the code please.

Thanks in advance.

ScrollPane Help Needed :-(
I'm losing my mind...I was finally able to figure out how to load a list of jpg thumbnails from an XML file and then dynamically load them into MovieClips in a row. I then exported this MovieClip for actionscript. I then put a ScrollPane component on the stage and set the source to "myMovieClip" name. It loads the MovieClip just fine, but the ScrollBar handle isn't appearing so I can't scroll to see all of the MovieClips.
I serched this site and found others having the same problem, but nothing seems to work. I tried envoking every SCrollPane update method that I could, but it still won't show the bar. It's just empty :-(
Any help? Here's the code inside the MovieClip. The main stage only has a ScrollPane and no actionscript. (testMC is the name of the exported Class).

(sorry, I'm not sure of the proper way to post code here)
/////////////////////////////////////////////

import fl.containers.UILoader;

var txtLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pictures.xml");
txtLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
txtLoader.load(xmlRequest);
var xmlLoader:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.ignoreWhitespace = true;

function xmlLoaded(evt:Event):void {
xmlLoader = XML(txtLoader.data);

for (var i:Number=0; i<5; i++) {

var container:Array = new Array();
var screenX:Number = 0;
var increaseX:Number = 130;
var myLoader = new UILoader();
myLoader.scaleContent = false;
myLoader.source = xmlLoader.fans[i].@image;
var myMC = new testMC();

Scrollpane Component Help Needed
Hello,

I am trying to create a horizontal scrolling menu, very similar to this one:

http://www.jansdotter.com/shop/index...ateg=bags&id=1

I was told by a friend that the scrollpane component in Flash MX is probably what was used to create this. Is this true? And if so, is there a tutorial anywhere on how to use this component.... or if someone can give me a bit of a talk through how to go about doing this.

Thanks.

Help Needed With Scrollpane And Linking
Hi again!

I'm working on my webpage, and I've got a lot of things looking good so far.

Now, my big question is, how do I link to my content?

Here's how I have it set up. I have a main page that includes a navigation bar (non-animated) and a menu bar (animated), and a scrollpane in the center so that I don't have to reload the main graphics every page.

Here's what I want to do: when I click one of the links on the menu bar, I want to be able to load a different MC from the library into the scrollpane, that way the content changes, but the menu and navigation graphics are the same and don't have to load multiple times.

Do you know of any way to do this?

Scrollpane Component Help Needed
Hi there

Im trying to get my flash site to simply scroll if the broswer window gets too small.

I managed to get a scrollpane working - but am finding it hard to get the scrollers to stretch to the windows size (when the user resizes etc) ie. as a browser would.

would anybody be able to point out the bit of code that I should be editing?

Ive tried mc.width=stage.width and the like but none seem to be working :(

Ive uploaded the file here if it helps - http://www.contrastmedia.co.uk/downloads/scrollpane.zip

your help as always is much appreciated - thanks!

Dynamic ScrollPane Sliders Help Needed
I'm trying to do something like what you see in the link below. Most of which I can do without a problem with one exception. I can't seem to figure out how to get the vertical and horizontal sliders to resize when you move the slider to zoom in on the image in the scrollPane. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Scrollpane Issues *Guru Needed*
Hi there,

I'm in the process of updating a website that has previously been created and need some guidance. There is a problem with the following site www.cavell.net.au

In the 'our work' section there are several links (e.g maritimo). Upon rollover you will notice that there is a faint ticking sound. This works fine, but upon selecting any of the links and moving on to the clients work, you will notice that while the buttons do not appear anymore, their rollover states DO including the ticking sounds.

I have had a look at the source files and i'm lost. I can't figure out how to disable the buttons in the client showcase section.

I have uploaded the source files via yousendit which can be downloaded at:

Link: http://download.yousendit.com/8A4F52E008969786

They are 6MB so be warned! .. main.fla and evinrude.fla.

I hope I have explained this clearly.. If anyone can shed light on this I would be hugely grateful!

Stuck.

EXPERT HELP NEEDED /re: ScrollPane Component Targeting
I have a movie that loads .jpg files into a scrollPane component. I want to have a preloader for the jpg files as they are loading, but I can not determine how to get the "bytesLoaded" or "bytesTotal" for these .jpg files to create a preloader of any kind. (Or whatever it may be called in this case.)

So my question is...
Does anyone have any ideas on how to reference the content being loaded into the scrollPane in relation to it's being fully loaded, or it's bytesLoaded or bytesTotal? ( I don't want all the script for the preloader, just how to reference the properties of the loading .jpg)

Example:
(MC is the instance name of a ScrollPane component)
MC.loadScrollContent ("myPic.jpg");
How do I reference "myPic.jpg" loading progress?
Or simply if it has finished loading?

I tried to use the following code:
_root.MC.getBytesTotal (This seems to return the value of the movieClip before any images are loaded.)
_root.MC.getScrollContent.getBytesTotal (undefined - not what getScrollContent is used for)

I posted this question yesterday and recieved NO responces (but had 33 views), so maybe it is a bit more difficult that I first thought, if it is possible at all. I thought this was a stupid question actually, but it seems that many people can not answer this!!!! (I do appologise if I am just being stupid about this somehow.)

Sorry to post twice (I know, I hate that too!!!) But I can not believe that this is not possible, I guess I just need a FLASH EXPERT's help. So if you can help me, you must be a genious. LOL

Thanks!

Scroll Pane Help Needed - Content Outside Of Scrollpane
hey all -

i'm having a problem with my scrollpane. I have a mc set as the content for my scrollpane. i can then change the content of that scrollpane just fine using:

myContent=myPane.getScrollContent();
myContent.replaceContent();

where replaceContent() is a function in the mc and is working fine.

the content of this mc is a variable number of text fields (created and populated at run-time from an outside .txt file). the content refreshes and all works well EXCEPT:

the content exists outside the pane. the pane will still scroll it, but it doesn't "mask" it or contain it. I've tried using:

myPane.refreshPane();

both inside the script as well as on a button just to force it and make sure it runs after the content has been changed. neither of these approaches is working.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh, and, i'm using flashmx.

ScrollPane Dilema With Deadline. Top Poster Needed
Guys Me stucked here, I have fixed a clear sample to show my issue with the scrollpane. Right scrollPane not scrolling.
Sample:
http://www.vigil.com.ar/jose/flash/testscrollPane.html

Situation:
Left scrollPane populates ok with one shot "for".
Right scrollPane (the one that is causing me trouble) does not activates the scrollpane and it is very similar code and method.


Code:
// POPULATE BUTTON
_root.populare.onPress = function(){
altura = 0;
formPopulate = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("form", 10, {_width:220, _height:200});
formPopulate._x = 20;
formPopulate._y = 20;
scrollerPopulate = _root.formPopulate.attachMovie("scrollPane", "scroller", 99, {_width:220, _height:200});
scrollerPopulate.createChild("Empty", "spContentHolder", initObject);
scrollerPopulate.setStyle("hScrollPolicy","none");
EmptyPopulate = scrollerPopulate.spContentHolder;
contentsPopulate = EmptyPopulate.createEmptyMovieClip("contentsPopulate", 100);
for (i=1;i<10;i++){
filaPopulate = contentsPopulate.attachMovie("fila", "filaPopulate"+i, i, {_x:0, _y:altura});
filaPopulate._text.text = "row: "+i;
filaPopulate._x = 10;
altura = i * 40;
}
}
//GLOBAL VARS FOR ADD BUTTON
_global.created = 0;
_global.addRowId = 0;
_global.rowHeights = 0;

// ADDROW BUTTON
_root.addRow.onPress = function(){
if (_global.created == 0){
altura = 0;
formAdd = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("formAdd", 20, {_width:220, _height:200});
formAdd._x = 255;
formAdd._y = 20;
scrollerAdd = _root.formAdd.attachMovie("scrollPane", "scroller", 99, {_width:220, _height:200});
scrollerAdd.createChild("Empty", "spContentHolder", initObject);
scrollerAdd.setStyle("hScrollPolicy","none");
EmptyAdd = scrollerAdd.spContentHolder;
contentsAdd = EmptyAdd.createEmptyMovieClip("contentsAdd", 100);
}
fila = contentsAdd.attachMovie("fila", "fila"+_global.addRowId, _global.addRowId, {_x:0, _y:_global.rowHeights});
fila._text.text = "row: "+_global.addRowId;
fila._x = 10;
_global.rowHeights =+ _global.rowHeights + 40;
_global.addRowId++;
_global.created = 1;

}

// REFRESH BUTTON
_root.refresha.onPress = function(){
formPopulate.removeMovieClip();
formAdd.removeMovieClip();
_global.created = 0;
_global.addRowId = 0;
_global.rowHeights = 0;
}
I have a dead line time for friday, I hope you guys can see anything that could help me get along.
Thanks much.

Help Needed In Loading Mutiple Movies In ScrollPane
Hi I am making video gallery using Action Script 3.0.I am loading some FLVs into movies on my stage using XML. I have on-click events on those movies.I have combined those all movies into one movie to put in the scroll pane. The movie is fine fitted in the scroll pane with the scrolls (which i needed )but the problem I have is that all the on click events which were on the individual movies are gone. The reason might be that because the on-click events were on individual movies, and movies are now combined in one. If anybody tells me how to load multiple movies(collectively) in the scroll pane, that can solve my problem because in that way movies can be inserted in the scroll pane without combining all the movie into one and events will stay there too.
Any other suggestion will be also be appreciated.
Please help me out in figuring out the solution of this problem.
Thanks

Scrollpane With Movie Needed To Play Frame In MAIN Movie
OK.. still pretty new.

I have a movie in a scrollpane with a button. It needs to tell the main movie/timeline to go to a frame.

How do i do that?

[F8] Button Inside Scrollpane, Cannot Control MC Outside Of Scrollpane?+emptymc
Hi, first look at the example of how it should work :

http://www.surfacingmedia.com/VIDEOPLAYER2.html
notice the Buttons in the scroller on the right tell the MC on the left to GOTO MC frame i want it too (each frame then holds Player for specific video.)
works great right?

Now when I load this into my main site into an empty movieclip i use for all section content it Does not work at all! sure it loads the first video but the buttons are disabled?
(use link below navigate to photo/video and selet video.)
http://www.surfacingmedia.com/

the code is the same just calls to the videoplayer MC and tells it to goto a certain frame.
it doesnt work when loaded into my empty MC. ?
any suggestions?
If kill the scrollpane altogether, buttons work fine then even loaded into emptyMC. seems once buried in scrollpane its too deep for buttons to work? which for me defeats the purpose kinda.
Note-Flash 8 (i am a code lightweight i used the BEHAVIORS commands gotoand stop on frame select the MC.)

Thanks in advance i will answer some posts while i am here that i can now.

ScrollPane Auto Scroll On Frames Within ScrollPane
Hi Guys,

I am using an instance of the scrollPane component to load in scrollable content, some of the items of content are .swfs that have separate navigation within them. I am wondering how I can get the scrollPane to adjust the amount it can scroll based on the content on each frame of the movie that has been loaded into the scrollPane. Ideally the scrollbar would also turn off when the content is small enough for there to be no need for the scrollbar.

Thanks,

-Jim

Swapping Scrollpane Content With Button Outside Scrollpane
Hi,

I'm terribly new to flash which is probably why I couldn't solve this with any tutorial out there.

I've got a scrollpane, and outside that I have a few buttons working as a nav bar. I want these buttons to load a different movieclip (which isn't in the stage, it's in the library) to the scrollpane.

Using the tutorial on this site (the one where you add or remove a blue movieclip to the scrollpane) I got as far as adding the movieclip to the scrollpane. Problem is, I need the buttons to unload the current movieclip before loading the new one.

(So for example, if the movieclip called "home" is loaded in the scrollpane and I click on the button "Patterns & Textures" I want that button to unload "home" from the scrollpane and load the movieclip "patterns")

My code so far looks like this:



Code:
scrollPane.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");

var i:Number=0;
var mcMain:MovieClip;
function init() {

scrollPane.contentPath = "home";
mcMain = scrollPane.content;
trace(mcMain);

}
init();

brushes_btn.onRelease = function() {

mcMain.attachMovie("brushes", "brushes"+i, mcMain.getNextHighestDepth(), {_y:50*i+5, _x:5});
i++;
scrollPane.invalidate();

};
Taken from the tutorial.

I'm pretty sure I don't need the + i part because I won't have more than one mc in the scrollpane at once, but I don't know how to remove it without screwing it up.

I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Scrollpane Content Not Limited To Scrollpane
I am using the scrollpane component in flash mx. I have content loaded into the scrollpane via actionscript. The content loads up, but the scrollbars scroll it past the edges of the scrollpane. The content then overlaps the rest of my movie(outside the scrollpane. How can I fix this? shouldn't there be a mask there? thanks for your help, garrett

Loading Mc In One Scrollpane From Mc Clip In Another Scrollpane
I'm still stuck.

I have one movie clip with a whole bunch of buttons 'loaded' into scrollpane and I want each button to load a different mc into a different scrollpane when clicked.

I tried using "attachMovie" but I'm still very confused.

Is this what I use?

If so, do I go

on(release){
attachMovie("mc name", "frame label of loaded mc", "level not in use");

}


Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Postioning Content In Scrollpane Without Using Scrollpane
Hi guys.
Not sure if this is possible. i had a look through the help files but had no luck I have 2 questions so here goes.
i am using V2 components in particular the scrollbar component.
I am attaching an mc to the scrollbar the mc contains several lines of text.
Is it possible to use a button elsewhere in the movie to set the postion of the mc in the scrollpane. Essentially moving the content up or done without using the scroll pane buttons or track bar?
How on earth do i change the colour of the scrollbar track button?

thanks
Paul

ScrollPane To ScrollPane Communication
I have a scene with two ScrollPanes. One ScrollPane contains a movieclip of thumbnails (used as buttons), the other ScrollPane contains larger pictures. Similar to a photo album. When each thumbnail is clicked, it is supposed to go to a specific frame label of another movie clip within the second ScrollPane.

This is the code I am using for the thumbnail buttons:

on (release) {
_level0.Ads-Scroll-Large.tmp_mc.gotoAndPlay("AD2");
}

I know it has to be something stupid...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks,

One ScrollPane Scrolls Another ScrollPane?
Hi. I have 2 scrollPanes in 1 .swf. The left one loads in an mc with text and links. The right one is the main text content. I want users to be able to click on links in the left pane to vertically scroll the right pane.

Oh. And I need to publish this in Flash 6.

Thanks for any advice.

Calling From ScrollPane To ScrollPane
I am still pretty new to actionscripting...so please bare with me.
Here is what I have...
I have 2 scroll panes
Both of the following scroll panes are on the main stage (frame 1).

One scroll pane has an instance name of "scrollComponent". It is loading the movie "componentList_MC".
In the "componentList_MC" movie is a battery button with an instance name of "batteryBut_btn".

The second scroll pane has an instance name of "viewsScroll". It is loading the movie "viewsPanel_MC".
In the "viewsPanel_MC" I have a frame label of "full" and another label of "230-6368_Battery".
The inital state of the "viewsPanel_MC" is set so that it is on the frame label "full".

I am trying to get it to where when you click on "batteryBut_btn" that it will go to "viewsPanel_MC" and go to the frame label "230-6368_Battery".

Here is the code I have on frame 1 on the actions layer. This is what I have described above and is not working. Any thoughts or suggestions that someone could help me out with?

//12V Battery (230-6368_Battery)
batteryBut_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.viewsScroll.viewsPanel_MC.gotoAndStop("230-6368_Battery");
};

Loading Dynamic Info Into Scrollpane -- Then Loading The Scrollpane Please?
hi,

i've been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work:

1:
dynamically load certain images and info by calling an xml file from within flash. this will create a timeline, which you can see works perfectly (i hope) in timeline.fla

2:
load that timeline.swf into a scrollpane (in this case, located in timeline_test.fla) by clicking on the chapter numbers on the bottom.

for the second part, i have gotten as far as loading timeline.swf into the scrollpane, but for some reason it only shows the last image in the timeline. there should be at least 3 more images that come before the one displayed. it also will not show the date and title of the image, which *does* show in timeline.swf. why is everything getting excluded? and how do i fix it?

also, i've tried to figure out how to get the chapter numbers to update the scrollpane, but with no luck. the best i can do is the ripped buttons from cyanBlue's code, which obviously i don't want in the final version.

i would be willing to take the code from timeline.fla and put it right into timeline_test.fla, although as to how i would do this, i have no idea.

i think i've read just about every tutorial and message post on scrollpane and loadMovie, but it's turning out to be a huge headache and nothing works the way i want it to.

please, if you can help me, i would IMMENSELY GRATEFUL.

thank you thank you,

Problems with scrollpane...

Here's what happens :
I have a MC with text in and some rectangles to make some text more important. Nothing else in. The text is static cause I need to be able to make some centered, and some bold etc.

This MC is "in" a scrollpane.
When I play the movie, I can scroll the MC but it shows outside the scrollpane as if there wasn't a mask. What can I do ?

Also, I want the scrollpane to slide sidewards when the movie starts playing like it's entering the screen from the right. I applied a motion tween to it and stuff but when I play the movie the scrollpane doesn't move. Any idea ?

Cheers

Scrollpane
I have been trying to get the scrollpane working for a week now and I finally gave up and decided to ask you guys here if you can give me some hints.
I've tried using the setScrollContent funcion but I've failed. Can you please let me know how it works?

Thanks in advance

ScrollPane
I know this is a rookie question but. How do you get
your MC inside the ScrollPane component? I can not figure
this out. Any one know? Thanx.

ScrollPane
Hi

I want to scroll a combination of pictures and text. So I used the ScrollPane component and it works fine. But it looks bad.

Is there anyway that I can make the ScrollPane background invisible and remove the border so that you only see the scrollbar and bottens? Or is there another way to scroll a combination of pictures and text and maintain the (gradient) background?

I'm not all that good at actionscript code, so if the answer contains code please try to explain it in a simple way. Thanks.

ScrollPane In The *&%
I have dynamically created a columns and rows and want to have that in a scroll pane component.

When I bring in the movie clip with a linkage of mc_list,
and do a trace, it brings up temp_mc and my data is not scrollable.

Why is this.

Scrollpane Looks
Hello!

I'm currently working on a school flash project and still new at using flash mx. Right, question is how do we change how the scrollpane scrollbar and background looks?. I've tried changing the scrollpane's properties for its background (tried change colour to tint and advanced) but doesn't seem to be working cuz' when tried out i can't see the stuff i put in the scroll pane in the first place.

Oh yeah, how do we change the appearance of the scroll bars in the scroll pane?

Thanks!

Scrollpane

ScrollPane
Hello,

I have a ScrollPane that allows the user to scroll some text and pictures. I have two small problems with this ScrollPane.

#1... when the swf that contains this ScrollPane is loaded into my main movie, everything in my main movie freezes for about 3-5 seconds. Any ideas?

#2... the ScrollPane does not scroll my information very smoothly. It does not move the same as say a regular scroll bar in Internet Explorer. Can this be adjusted?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

ScrollPane
I have a movieClip in a ScrollPane. When the swf that contains this ScrollPane is loaded into my main movie, the main movie freezes for a few seconds. How do I avoid this. Each swf that is loaded into my main movie continues to loop through frames 1 and 2 until the entire movie is loaded. If the movie has been loaded then why still the pause from my main movie, as if it is waiting for the movieClip to load into the ScrollPane.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you very much for any help.

Scrollpane Help
i want to remove the border from the scroll pane, is it a configurable option or do i have to edit the object itself. kinda new to the flash mx

Scrollpane
I've a combo box in a scrollpane. everything displays well untill I start scrolling the scrollpane. My combo box will disappear/_alpha = 0 on its own. I have to click on the combo box position to make it visible again. How do I solve this? I did not do any coding to it.

ScrollPane
Hi. I am using the Flash MX scrollPane in combination with a third party componenent called ZoomPane to make a scrollable zoomable movie. My code calls a Movie Symbol called "Floor". Both the ZoomPane and the ScrollPane call it as follows:

myZoom.snapTo(myScroll);
myScroll.setScrollContent("Floor");
myZoom.setScrollContent("Floor");
myScroll.setContentScale();

My problem is that I would like to alter a variable inside of the Movie "Floor" in the ZoomPane and not in the ScrollPane. This way the movie can be different but still use the same movie symbol.

Can anyone offer advice?

Thanks.

Scrollpane Help
I'm using the scrollpane component for the first time, and I have a question.

You can see what I'm doing by going here:
http://www.tcurranmusic.com/work/38.swf
and clicking on the slingshot icon to go to the studio page.

I have the scrollpane working properly, but I'd like to control the scroll using the little black buttons, not the gigantic windows-like scrolling bar that it comes with. I know how to turn it off, but I don't know how to configure my exisiting buttons to control the scroll.

Any help is much appreciated!

Scrollpane Mod
Hi all!

I am working on a menu system that uses the scrollpane component to scroll the various link objects inside. The text for these links are pixel fonts, and must be kept on whole integer x,y values to stay crisp.

The problem is that the very smooth scrolling of the scrollpane movement is making my text inside fuzzy.

Does anyone know how I could modify the scrollpane component so that it only scrolls in whole pixel increments? Thanks to anyone who could help!

Sincerely,
Derek
