Fast Vertical Autoscroll
I need a fairly fast vertical autoscroll for f/x like you see in futuristic movies. The text might actually be gibberish--it's for effect only. Maybe every five seconds the scroll would pause for an instance.
Any idea how I can do this?
Horizontal Autoscroll News Ticker
Hello peoples, how are you all?
I am trying to create an horizontal and autoscroll news ticker, similar to the one you actually see on CNN footer, for example.
I've already did a scroll like this one, but it just pass one message per time. The messages are being loaded from an XML file throught a XPath query.
My problem is: how can I make this scroll continuous, with all the messages following one by eacher other, as a loop through XML.
If somebody could help me, I will appreciate. Thanx for your attention!

Vertical Scrolling News Ticker
Hey all,
I have Flash MX 2004, although I am still quite a newbie. I am trying to create a vertical scrolling news ticker, using a dynamic textbox. Ideally, the text should automatically scroll upwards, and either:
-> Stop at the end of each paragraph for a second or two
-> Stop when mouseover
This is what I want, yet this is an Java applet: http://www.appletcollection.com
Thank you in advance for any help you give,

How To Build An XML NEWS BOX With Vertical Movement Effect?
Ok, what I'm tryin' to do is a box that contains NEWS (date + short description with links on each). There would be an XML file feeding the swf. I'd like the effect of the 'menu' to be similar to what PixleCrew has been talkin' about in some other thread. The menu would be masked and would move vertically depending on the mouse position.
PixleCrew wrote his code in that thread but I can't seem to build my FLA file the right way since I'm not the best actionscripter there is. His FLA file is not available.
So if someone could help me out with this or simply point me to someplace where this subject has been discussed, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Inserting File (News Reader) / Vertical Text Scroller
Hi,
after trying to look for a external file vertical text scroller..., i decided to build my own. I do not have much flash-scripting know how (or flash as a matter of fact) but so far I have been able to read a text file and insert into flash.
however, the text is not properly formatted (as some of it does not appear). Also, in addition I need some help in scrolling the text that is read from file to auto scroll repeatedly...
Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
name.text = this.name;
};
i was thinking of looking for EOS for each line then display that; then wait couple of seconds and read the next line...however i do not know how i will do that in flashscript...
External Text In A Vertical "news" Scroller-can't Get It To Work
Hey there,
Ok, so I am somewhat novice to flash, but I have kind of come up against a wall here. I have a swf file that will be functioning as my website. It calls another swf that acts as a "news ticker" with vertically scrolling text.
I have two problems:
1-the newsticker by itself works good, except that the text scrolls beyond the limits of the dynamic text box I created to put it in. I have tried to mask it, but that doesn't seem to be working (though I could be doing it wrong...)
2-When I test the main swf, and it calls up my news ticker swf, the text in the newsticker is there, but it doesn't scroll at all.
I have put the fla's and the referenced text file on a webpage where they can be accessed:
http://www.freeflightvideomagazine.com/onlinevideo.html
If anyone has any suggestions on the masking and the non-functional scrolling, I would be very grateful. I have been combing forums and tutorials for a while, and haven't figured it out yet!!
Thanks,
Chris

Autoscroll - Menu
Just looking for some helpful hints or links to any tutorials that would help me create a mouse-sensitive scrolling menu... In other words, when the mouse moves up on the menu it scrolls the menu one way, and when moved down it scrolls the menu the other way.

Autoscroll Question
I'm trying to get a dynamic text box to scroll vertically on its own. On the main timeline, I load the text file externally and then inside the text_mc, I have a simple loop that tells the text box to scroll:
//
names.scroll = names.scroll+1;
//
It scrolls it the first time around but when it loops on this command a second time, the text disappears. Any ideas on why it's not scrolling? The files are attached.
thanks!
AutoScroll If MouseOut
I want to make a thing for the homepage on this site http://signdesigns.com
They make signs and i want to make a thing for them in Flash MX where it has pictures of signs and people can click on them and pop up a new window (Javascript i guess)
you see i am a true beginner with flash and i just installed flash mx today. so im gonna need some help.... i know HTML very well -- I'm a novice with PHP and Javascript
The hard part of this project will be making the images scroll by automatically at a set speed when the mouse is anywhere but on the movie then when the mouse is on the movie i want the images movement to be controled by the mouse
Abelius's - Flag Scroller is a very good example of what i'm looking for -- also another thing that might be hard is making it loop not like the flag scroller where it stops at the end
so what i need to know how to do is--
1. edit the flag scroller fla to open a new browser window
i guess that's it cause the flag scroller takes care of the other stuff

Can Anyone Help Me With Some Actionscript For Autoscroll?
Hello,
I'm trying to dynamically load a txt file (formatted with html) as a news page, and get it to smoothly autoscroll vertically.... Here - http://www.nocco.co.uk/test/text.html
After numerous searches I came across this actionscript which was originally set for horizontal scrolling -
Code:
System.useCodepage = true;
function newsticker(content, posX, posY, depth, tempo) {
this.loadVariables(content);
this.onData = function() {
createTextField("text", depth, posX, posY, 10, 20);
text.html = true;
text.htmlText = news;
text.selectable = false;
text.autoSize = "left";
createTextField("text2", depth+1, posX, posY, 10, 20);
text2.html = true;
text2.htmlText = news;
text2.selectable = false;
text2.autoSize = "left";
text2._x = text._width;
function tick() {
text._y -= tempo;
text2._y -= tempo;
if (text2._y <= posX) {
text._y = posX;
text2._y = text._width + posY;
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
setInterval(tick, 30);
};
}
newsticker("events_artists.txt", 0, 7, 1, 1);
In the function bit i changed all the Xs to Yx which makes it scroll vertically.... as it is there are two text fields, i want just one long scroll rather than having it display double like that.... So I tried removing the second createTextField bit but then the scrolling completely stops.
Can anyone here help me to understand the actionscript a little so that i can tweak it to my liking?!
Thanks in advance

Autoscroll Problem
Hey there, I was looking for a way to make the thumbnail gallery auto scroll and I found it here in the forums the only problem is that for some reason everything works perfectly except when you click on a thumbnail, it opens up a new page on the explorer instead of changing the images in the gallery if someone could check the code I would really appreciate it thanks.

Listbox CSS And AutoScroll?
Hi
I am creating a Flash MP3 player and having troubles with a couple of issues with the Listbox Component.
I am importing my playlist from an XML file, and can get the current song that is playing highlighted in the list. However what i would also like to be able to do, is, if the current song is halfway down the list of songs in the listbox, is somehow automatically scroll down to this point.
Secondly, is there anyway to set the background color of the listbox to transperant? I set the alpha to 0, but I lose all colors with that.
thanks

MX 2004 ScrollPane AutoScroll
Hmm, I feel a bit like a noob, plus, I'm being lazy again, but does anyone remember why scrollpanes do not autoscroll once an swf (or any other object for that matter) is loaded into them, even though they are bigger than the scrollpane area?
Autoscroll Imported Txt File
Hi guys.
Hope you can help me out some here.
Im kind of new to flash.
Ok here is what i want to do.
I have imported a rather large text file in to a text box and i cant see all data in it.
i use the command "loadVariables("text.txt","_root");"
when i run movie i can only see the text that fits in the text box so what i want to do
is a function that autoscroll the text in the text.txt file in the textbox so i can read all the content in the text.txt file.
what i have understand so far is that the way to do it is.
1. Create the text.txt
2. Open flash
3. In first frame take "action" print in code "loadVariables("text.txt","_root");"
4. Go to second frame make a "insert blank keyframe" and take "action" insert code stop()
5. make the textbox
6. insert the variable "text" in the texbox properties "since my text.txt first line is "&text="
7. Make it to dynamic text
8. Run movie
so far so good. i can see the text in them movie now but only so mutch text as the text box size.
so what i want to do now is the text to scroll up and make all the text in the text file scroll up.
i applied the code
var myInterval = setInterval(scrollUp,50);
function scrollUp(){
text_MC._y -= 5;
// text_MC is the name of the text box
}
and the text was scrolling up but still only so mutch text that fitted in the textbox from the first place. not all the text in the text.txt file.
I have been looking around for hours on the net and forums for a good code or tutorial but its hard to find.
I hope someone is able to help.
Cheers

Autoscroll Panorama Scaling Problem
I followed Lee's tutorial for the autoscroll thumbnail menu, only instead of making a small thumbnail menu, I just applied the same steps to a panoramic photo.
I have several buttons on the panoramic photo, each one coded so that when clicked on, the panoramic photo scales, giving the appearance of zooming in on the button just clicked. Once zoomed in, the viewer can then click a secondary button and be zoomed back out.
The troublesome aspect I'm having is accurately zooming back out so that the entire panoramic photo ends up in exactly the same spot as it was on initial load (pre-zoom). My attempts thus far seem to come close to arriving back at this initial position, but I'm starting to wonder if what I'm trying to do is even possible.
Here's the scaling code I'm using.
on(release){
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._xscale+=(650-_xscale)/15;
if(this._xscale > 650-1&& this._xscale < 650+1)
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._yscale+=(650-_yscale)/15;
if(this._yscale > 650-1&& this._yscale < 650+1)
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._x+=(5250-this._x)/10
this._y+=(-500-this._y)/10
}}

Is there similar software which i can purchase and install?
Autoscroll XML Gallery And Path Specific Integration Problem
Hi,
I have a XML gallery SWF movie that reads the XML thumbs and information. It works quite flawless as a standalone SWF but when I try to integrate it into my main movie, all the functions just stop working.
Code:
_root.container.loadeds.contcon,
is the path in which XML gallery movie resides. Which means my XML gallery is loaded into "contcon MC".
There is a horizontal thumbnail slider panel with onRollOver, in which thumbs are loaded(its width is calculated automatically according to the # of thumbs times width of one thumb) and there is a holder MC for the full size images that is called into the stage after clicking thumbs.
THE PROBLEM IS,
Nothing works when I embed this SWF into the path that I've mentioned above.
I know I should modify it with _parent , _root or so... but after trying many things, I finally got lost. Paths and hierarchy... always tricky. and also functions and "this" thing makes it even more complex.
Loaded movie has only one frame of actions which is consisted of 129 lines.
I'm giving the whole code here. So can you give me an idea or manipulate it for me so that it works when loaded into the path I have written above?
Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;

This is the original code without my changes (I got this piece of code from some thread in this forum, i can't remember the exact address line).
I'm near to the end. So please let me accomplish this task successfuly. Any help is appreciated.
THANK YOU.
Typorganism.com - Good News - Bad News
Hi,
I have just been looking at this site.
If you go into the section where it says "good news - bad news" there is a piece of work that I think is very clever.
Any ideas on how this was created? I would very much like to have something similar in a project that I am working on - somewhere that users can post pictures and a little line of copy to go with it.
Any one know of any tutorials/components/open source that will give me some kind of angle on achieving this.
It is very clever though - I tried emailing the site but have had nothing back yet
Hope someone can help
