Flash :: Urgent - Scolling Text Colour

Scolling Text Box
I'm trying to make a scroll text block, and I've chosen this method:

scrollable text = "Huntress"
add newline add newline
"Lost in the woods in a never-ending
Pitch black, tall shadows, edges of pine
Needles glowing with a faint eerie
Green hue in the moonlight. The moon that must
Have shown somewhere, somewhere from way up high,
Outside. Not here. Here is a black dream
Standing in thin air with feet on the floor
Which way to go? They are infinite.";

Some how this isn't working, perhaps because I have many lines that skip to the next, with the "enter" button. I also plan to insert much, much more text.

Is there some easy way to copy and paste this text into the code that this will work?

Scolling Text Perspective
A new dialiemah of mine... I want to create a star wars like scrolling text feature. And im pretty sure its a case of altering the perspective as the movie clip rises. Well, so I think.

I not asking anyone to go to the extreme lenghts of making the hole thing, But any help will the text scrolling up bit would be great.

Scolling Dynamic Images In Text Field
Hi,

I have a text field which is dynamically pulling in a text file, as well as an image using <img> tag. I have up and down arrows to scroll the contents, but when I added the image, it scrolls down to show about half of it, and then stops scrolling.

Is it possible to scroll w/ an embedded image in a dynamic textfield? Here is the code I have on the "up" scroll button:

on (press) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.strategybox.scroll -= 1;

};
}
on (release) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

Any help???
Thanks

Scolling Text With Links And Buttons....not Dynamic
I need to figure out how to scroll some text and there are also buttons I still want functioning within. It's not dynamic text...

Right now I set up a movie with a mask with this text/button/graphic that motion tweens up and down...that would simulate a scroll. I made two buttons. I can get one to work, to play the movie on rollover or press and stop when you rollout. This becomes a problem when I need to move the other way...to reverse it. I'm not sure if there is an actionscript that can reverse the movie from the current position...or if I've run into a wall and there is a better way to create this scroll. Nothing fancy.

I'm having trouble finding this because every tutorial or help is for dynamic text, which would be fine, but I don't need that.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks.

PLEASE..any suggestions on how to make this work? I need to figure this out urgently..thanks!

Text Variable To Insert Into A Text String + Bkgrnd Colour
Hi. I'm not completely new to Flash MX and I've seen the answer somewhere, I've just never used it and you know the saying about not using and losing?

I have a web site that has a story where the reader inserts their own name into the single prompt. That name is then used throughout the story within the text.

I've done it in Javascript, but I want to do it in FlashMX. You know the story about no life and sleepless nights? Well that's me. Please help!

The other thing that's bugging me is that I've made an oval Flash button, but I can't get the document/movie background to be transparent, You can still see a (white) box around the button. How can I get rid of the background or make it transparent?

Thanks for your time

Dynamically Changing The Text Colour Of A Dynamic Text Box..
If I have say a variable called myVariable and the text is blue is there any way you can get that variable to change colour for a certain value?

so for myVariable = 2, its red myVariable = 3, green

that sort of thing, anybody know any snippet of code that does this?

I know I could rig something up using movieclips to do this, but I'd prefer a simpler method really.

.txt Text Colour?
Hi there flash gurus

I usually create flash sites that get large text areas
from .txt documents, that way my clients can usually
change/add text without needing to open the .fla file.

Is there any way to assign colours in the .txt itself
(i.e. a red coloured text header)?

Thanks! Greetings!

Dynamic Text Colour?
Any idea how to change the colour of dynamic text dynamically

Text In Textbox Always The Same Colour As Mc
Hiya all

I'm new to Flash so excuse me if this is a stupid question... but here it goes.

I'm creating a flash-movie where I have all my code in external AS files, and therefore load all interface elements dynamically onto the stage. I create an empty movieclip (call it A) on the root, and attach another movieclip (call it B) to it (B is located in the library). Now I manipulate A back and forth, change colour of it and make it jump up and down and fade in and out. Ok, this all works fine ... but my problem is this: Now I have to attach a dynamically created textbox to A, so that when A moves the t.box moves too. I've done this, but even though I use textFormat for the textbox the colour of my text is always the same as of A ... so it's invisible!! (I know it's on the screen 'cause I made part of it stand a bit out of A, I can see the border, ie the colour.) Why is that? It's on a different level than B, it's created after A and B have fully loaded ... I'm stuck. Any ideas??

Any help is so much appreciated!!!

thanks in advance,

Button Text Colour
Hi,

I'm struggling to get my navigation script to work. When i click on a button i'd like the text color to change to show it's active, and remain active when rolled out. Then, when another one is clicked that becomes active and the previous one reverts back to it's orginal colour.

I know i'll need to put in an 'if' statement but i can't seem to make it work

Can anyone assist me in making this work?

Here's my actionscript:

portfolio_nav["nav"+i].onRollOver = function(){
this.navitem.textColor = 0x3f3f3f
}
portfolio_nav["nav"+i].onPress = function(){
portfolio_nav["nav"+i].navitem.textColor = 0x3f3f3f
}
portfolio_nav["nav"+i].onRollOut = function(){
this.navitem.textColor = 0xB2B2B2
}
}

I can't seem to do this effect for some reason. If you go to http://www.energypixel.com/ when the red thing goes over the menu links (which are grey color), the links turn white with the red bar over it so you can see the text easier. How did he do this effect. It won't change for me, or it's a pain.
