Flash :: Text Scroller With Image With Mouse Scroller

Image+text Scroller, Form Scroller, And Loading External Text Files - Urgent
Hi everybody!

Does anybody know how to do the following things in Flash MX?

1.Make a scroller with text + images in it;
2.Make a scroller with text + a form in it;
3.I followed the tutorial entitled "Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text", but the text that I tried to load has over 160 lines, and I can only scroll down to about half way of the total lines. Why is that?
4.I also tried to load xml files using the code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> on the first line of each xml file, but the ', &, and " " don't work.

Can anybody help me, please? This is urgent!

Thanks in advance!

Mouse-spinning Image Scroller
How did they do this? On mousedown you can drag in either direction. The faster you drag, the faster it rolls. On mousedown drag and release you can virtually roll/spin the images in both directions.

Any clues on how they did this would be appreciated.

How To Add Mouse Control To Existing Image Scroller ?
image scroller as shown below url
http://www.cyberxpdemo1.com/

Currently, it just a simple image scroller, scrolling from right to left.
Now my boss want to add some interactive control on it. The addon function should able to
1. when user click any of the images, that image will display a larger image size.
2. moving mouse to either right edge or left edge will trigger the image scroller direction and will speed up scroll when closer to either edge.

I'm just a newbie on Flash. anybody give me directions or techniques on how to implement it.

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

Mouse Activated Text Scroller
Hi,

I'm working in Flash CS3 and was wondering if any one knew how to create a vertically text scroller controlled by the mouse when clicked and dragged. Would like a nice clean motion with possibly a bounce when it reaches the top or bottom. This is to fit within a header banner. Cheers for any help in advance.

Text Scroller Help - Scroller Won't Scroll Full Length Of Text?

Also, is there any way to format text in the .txt file so that it appears formatted in flash? Right now there is a bunch of spaces between the numbered items. Thanks anyone!!

Text/image Scroller Is Acting Weird
Check this out:

http://www.gradlaunchusa.com/flash.html

Click "services" or "calendar" on the top navigation, then go to the page that loads up. If you click the scroll box (not the up/down arrow) it will follow your mouse around. I want it to release when the mouse button is released...any idea how to do this?

Here's a source file from one of the pages, maybe something is wrong in the script....I'm not sure what to change.

Any help is appreciated.

Scroller Doesn't Work For Image In Dynamic Text

Scroller That Moves According To Mouse Movement Not Mouse Location.
I am trying to recreate the effect seen here:

Express Top Ten

alright here's the request:

I have found many scroller tutes most of which use buttons to control them. What I need or think I need is a tute or file to refer to, that uses a mouseover effect to move the movieclip with respect to how much the mouse has moved and still uses easing.

I have found files that make the movieclip move according to the mouse position on the stage, but i need it to move in according to how far it just moved.

feel free to email me with any questions.

thanks in advance,
chris

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;
}

Mouse Scroller
Is there a way of getting the mouse scroller to work in a flash scrollable text box?

Mouse Scroller
i have made my own version of this scrolling clip from this persons movie but i want to change one thing, the way it scrolls.

at the moment when the mouse goes to the far right it scrolls left and vice versa, what i want is it to scroll left when the mouse goes to the far left, and if possible i would like it to be a never ending movie clip that if you keep going left it will just keep duplicating itself.

thanks in advance for any help.

Mouse Scroller
Is there any way that when you scroll the mouse wheel up or down it performs an action?

Theres no key class and i think it has something to do with the word 'delta'.

I need it to go 'nextframe' when scrolled up and 'prevframe' when mousewheel is scrolled down.

Help please!?

Mouse Scroller
I've looked through all the past messages on the subject and a few people seem to be able to control objects in a flash file using the mouse scroller.

Only problem is that it's quite tricky to understand the code when it's just up on the screen, does anyone have a HTML and FLA files with it working that I could take a peek at, pleaseeeee.

Targeting Thumb Nail Image In Image Scroller To Full Size In Middle Of Screen
Hi people....

Thanks for your time....I`m basically looking for ideas on how to do the following. Most of the work is done all I need I hope is a little actionscript... ( I hope)

I`m building a scrolling picture gallery for someone where they want the thumbnail images, once clicked upon to scale very large in the middle of the screen on top of the image scroller. When the image is clicked it zooms back down to where it was clicked upon in the scolling image gallery. The site that best describes this is http://www.chris-bailey.com.

I can do the scrolling image gallery (well, thanks to other friendly flask kit people) and get the user to click the image buttons to load a movie above the scrolling gallery but its targeting the moving images in the scroller to target to the middle of the screen and stop moving and then go back down to the moving scroller.... All the images in the scroller are seperate movies that are obviously easy to scale but I need to turn off the scrolling action when they start scaling into the main movieso they remain still to view. Any ideas please? Using Flash MX.

Thanks.... Angus

Y And X Mouse Positioned Scroller
I'm making a scoller for images that scrolls from left to right after the _ymouse position is past a certain point. It works fine except that I want it to stop after it goes 26 pixels down further. here is the script I have at the moment.

I have 3 frames, on the first frame it has this with a movieclip named "reel":

center = 400;
reelPos = reel._x;
leftStop = -1264;
rightStop = 2064;
reelStop = reelPos;

Then on the second frame named "loop" I have this:

if (_ymouse>300) {
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reelPos = Math.round(reelPos+reelSpeed);
if (reelPos<leftStop) {
reelPos = leftStop;
}
if (reelPos>rightStop) {
reelPos = rightStop;
}
reel._x = reelPos;
}

And on the third frame is a gotoAndPlay "loop" tag.

I want the scrolling to stop if "_ymouse>326" but I can't figure out how I would do this. I also wouldn't mind it stopping if "_xmouse<216" and if "_xmouse>580"

If anyone can help with this it would be awesome.
The rest of the movie is just a movieclip with images going lengthwise and masked so the images show up in a certain section only(just to give you an idea of what I'm doing)
Tahnks for any help

Mouse Scroller Problems
I have tried about four tutorials and failed each time. I need some help with the "mouse scrolling images" trick. I have a sample that seems to work, but when I switched out my images for thiers, checked all the code, but my image loop isn't right. Does anyone have a really simple tutorial or solution for me today?

How Can I Stop The Mouse Following A Scroller?
I have made a scrolling menu that follows the _x position of the mouse, the problem is that the scroller stays attached to the mouse cursor no matter where is it on the screen, not only when it is above the menu.

How can I change it so that the scroller only follows the mouse when it is over its hit point?

Heres the code I am using, on frame 1:

code: fscommand("allowscale", "false");
if (_xmouse < 100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse) + 700);
} else if (_xmouse > 100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse) + 700);
} else {
trace("=");
setProperty("_root.slider", _x, _xmouse);
}

Frame 2:

code: if (_xmouse<100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse)+700);
} else if (_xmouse>100) {
trace(">");
setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse)+700);
} else {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, _xmouse);
}
setProperty("_root.drag", _x, _xmouse);
gotoAndPlay(1);

Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the source file I am using

Mouse Activated Scroller
Can anybody point an example on how to do a mouse activated scroller that moves on the specific area only. Example would be here:

[F8] Mouse (scroller?) Effect Help
So, For a few days now, I've been trying to make a flash homepage to my website look somewhat like the following:
http://fluxx.nu/bio.html
However, I'm Fairly new to Action script and I'm having a terrible time trying to make it work right. (And I'd post some AS code I wrote, but it would be pretty embarrassing.. )

I use Flash 8 and have come close to making it work.. but still no cigar.
Any ideas or suggestions (or Code!) that could possibly help me make this work?

I was also thinking how I would go about with the image. Do I just make a long image, or separate frames? (Depending on the code, I guess..)

Thanks in advance!

Mouse Over Pic Scroller /jpg Flicker Problems
Hi there!
ok dunno if anyone has had this same problem with vr-scrollers
..you know the scrollers that when you mouse over your pics shuffle left and right.
Anyways ive been using these for awhile now and the one thing i havent beeb able to ever sort out is the small flickering of jpgs..its like the pictures when you scroll move just a little....its like a flickering effect..
I dont know if it has to do with jpg quality and or compression.An example of this so called scroller i have done can be seen on
http://taxfree.silja.fi/index.html
its not that bad but still i would like to try and rectify this flicker prob when you mouse over.Or then perhaps there is nothing to be done about this, dunno, but maybe someone can help me out

Cheers!

Scroller Mouse Wheel Problem
Hey guys,

it seems to output correctly but the "content" never moves.

Thanks.

Freezing A Mouse Controlled Scroller?
K, so I've finally got it all working; the scroller loads, reads mouse movement and when the mouse moves away from it stops reading the mouse movement. Near perfect.

if(_root._xmouse<= 500 && _root._ymouse>= 400){
dX = ../track:_x-230;
ypos = ../track:_y;
if (Number(ypos)<60) {
ypos = 60;
}
}
setProperty("", _x, _x-dX/14);

reset = _xscale/100*360;
if (Number(_x)>Number((230+Number(reset)))) {
setProperty("", _x, _x-(_width/2));
} else if (Number(_x)<Number((230-reset))) {
setProperty("", _x, Number(_x)+Number((_width/2)));{
}
} else {

}

When the mouse is not near the scroller, its scrolls at the last speed it was left at. How can I get it to "freeze" or stop until the mouse moves back to the scroller?
