How To Make Text Scroll Smoother
Can anyone help me make my dynamic text box scroll smoother? My Flash document is set at 30fps and I use the 'onEnterFrame' method so surely the text should scroll smoothly?!
My movie is at http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.html and the source is at http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.fla
Or is it because of the text length that's jerking the scrolling?
Smoother Download?
I've created a website in MX that uses the loadMovie action to call swfs from buttons and load them at level 0. There are two large swfs (nearly 400k and 850k) that, of course, take quite a long time to download from a dial-up connection, then play a little, then stop and play some more.
Is there a way that I can either a) compress them to get them to download more quickly without sacrificing too much quality; or b)have the browser wait for the whole swf to download before playing, so it plays through smoothly; or c)(*preferably*) both? Or, are these swfs just way too big for a dial-up to download reasonably?
Thanks so much.

Advice To Make Smoother.
I just want to say that I know that the site isn't much to look at right now, basically put something up just to convey info for the time being untill I learn this program better. I wanted some opinions on how I could get the "transit" I have on the page to be smoother. Didn't know if there was a way that I could motion/shape tween a graphic symbol like this or not.

Cant Work Out How To Make Scroller Use Dynamic Text
scroller.fla
I used a tutorial on here that let me have my own scroller with buttons and a scrollbar and could scroll a movie clip that i can put whatever i like in, which is great but what i would like is for it to scroll dynamic text from a text.txt file so that it is easy to update for someone who is not familiar with flash.
the tutorial stated that it would not scroll text but he also stated he had modified his scroller from one that could scroll text (i assume dynamic). he gave directions on how to find the other tutorial however the site it was from no longer exists. can anybody help me?

Smoother Text Movement
Hi everybody,
I have a small question. I made a site sometime ago - Sookerating. If you visit the site you will small phrases of text scrolling about on the top of the page. The entire sequence runs on AS. You will also notice that the text movement is choppy. Is there a way I could achieve the same effect...only in much smoother way. I thing the text is not anti-aliased too which is giving the letters a crude effect.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance guys.

Trying To Make A "reflection" Of Text Scroller.
Alright guys... So I am trying to make two dynamic scrollers that both scroll off of the same component. Confused??? Ok Imaging that you have a dynamic text box with a sroller component, and you wanted to make a reflection of that scroller on the surface below the scroller, like it was reflecting on a glass table or something. Now that you understand what I am trying to do, is there anyway that anyone knows to scroll both the normal text box, and the reflected text box with the same scroller component? I can get it to scroll one box, but not both. I know this is easy and I am just brain farting about it. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks guys!

MX: Textfield In Scrol Pane
Hi, I have a text field in a scrol pane.
It is a xml news list.
The problem I am having is that I want the pane to fill up as the news comes in.
At the moment I have so set the text field to be a certain size and it gets populated.
What I want to do is have the text field push down, depending on the amount of content - making the scrol bar appear if the text goes down longer than the size of the scrol pane.
Can you help please/

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;
};

if (scrollFace._x>=right) {
scrollFace._x = right;
} else {
scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = right;
contentMain._x = finalContentPos;

}
};
};

Make Folder Download
Please help!
How can I get a folder with a .pdf in it - from a server to a web user's desktop, via flash 5?
using getURL("folder/mydoc.pdf");
just tries to open the pdf, I want it to download to the computer.
My situation is that I've been asked to use a .pdf to show a portfolio online.
problem is - sometimes it takes a while on a dial up connection to actually view the .pdf in the browser - so I would rather find out how to get a folder to dowload from a server to the desktop where a user can open and view the .pdf fassster.
if the Download Manager pops up or something, the viewer will know something is happening.
if someone can help shed some light it would be awesome.

Make .swf File Available For Download?
I cannot seem to find an answer to this question. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
How can I make my .swf file available for download from the click of a button within the movie? I read that it could be done in AS 1.0 with the fscommand - so surely there must be a way in 2.0?
If not, is there any way I can use JavaScript or PHP to do it?
Ultimately, I'm creating Flash Paper files (originated in Flash 8), but I would like to add a "save" button to the movie.

How Do I Make A Scroller Like This?
I've downloaded a mizillion scroller .swfs and for some reason, can't make one simple like this.
Here's the example:
http://www.thewreckers.com/site/index.html
the news scroller on left. It's real nice!
what keeps happening is when I replace the middle part of "slider", the part that scrolls up and down, it stretches my image to fill the entire area of the scrollbar, depending on how much text is in the field. I understand why it does this, because it's normally just a rect w/color in here, so stretching it won't look bad.
any help will be much appreciated....thanks.

How Do I Make A Button To Download A File?
Hi,
I know this is probably incredibly simple, and while i have used flash for animation for about 2 years, i really know absolutely nothing about webpages or how to make a flash site (this is my first).
What i want is a button, that when it is clicked will activate a file download...similar to right clicking and choosing "save as" on a hyper-link in html to download a file. My file structure looks like this...
not the actual website==> http://website.com/images/video.mp4
I made a hyperlink to this with the button already, but what happens is it changes the whole flash browser into the quicktime window, then waits for the DL..then plays. What i would like is for it to keep the flash site up as is...but open a "save as" screen or something similar so the user can actually DL it to a place on their harddrive.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks ahead of time!
