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?

Scroller Questions, Please Help
Hi there,

I am trying to figure out how to make a scroller with animated buttons in it instead of text. The tutorials I've found seem to only be for text scrolling though. Is it the same type of deal that a text scroller uses or is it something different?
I would like the animated buttons in the scroller to open external swf's. Does anyone know off the top of their head any tutorials where I can see how this is done so I can teach myself?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

[F8] A Better Horizontal Scroller Questions...
Hey there,

I have been trying to work on the following flash script, posted here by ValueAmerica, I want to convert it to a scrolling top thumbnail area for an image gallery, but I can't seem to get the image size corret, apparently the AS is resizing the backgrounds or something, I have tried sample jpegs of 30, 100, 500 etc. and they are all stretched or gigantic, either way I can't figure it out after trying for a couple hours.

Here is the page with the .fla on it

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Compo...0556/index.php

Any, any help regarding this simple script would be a huge help, as it's kicked my ass tonight --

cheers,

More Scroller Questions That Nobody Will Answer
I took the vertical scroller from the tutorial Kirupa posted, and then I tried to marry the horizontal scrollbar that Plonker sent me (Good lookin' out!) into the same SWF. The same problem ensued, one scrollbar works fine and the other shoots the mask way off to the side. What's with that? Are the scripts conflicting? Why doesn't Debugger address this? I even renamed the Bar, Dragger, Up_btn & Down_btn to Ba, Dragge, L_Btn and R_btn - in the script, in the library, and all instances... Does anyone have any feedback? Has anyone else ever run into this?

My movie clip is scrolling across the stage, now here is what I would like to do. as the first image exit the stage reposition itself on the opposite side of the stage and dynamically load in another image. This would continue giving the illusion of a continous scrolling.(see attached)

I am looking for the best method to do this.

Any help greatly appreciated

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!

Text Scroller Help - Scroller Won't Scroll Full Length Of Text?
I have a text scroller that calls for a external text file. I have 16 numbered items in the .txt file but only 12 items will scroll. Why is this and how do I fix it? 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!!

Bitmap - Easing Scroller - Optimize QUESTIONS
1. I have an easing text scroller in my .swf. Everything works great except that the easing characteristic seems smooth on PC's but not on Macs. When I click and drag the scroller it stutters on a Mac. Not the text but the scroller. Is this a MX/Mac problem?

2. A red box which is the exact dimensions and location of the same text scroller I mentioned above appears wherever I go to in my test movie even though I inserted a blank keyframe in the text scroller layer so that the scroller wouldn't show up again. What have I done wrong?

3. I tried to create a motion tween with this text scroller. Starting from the right moving into the stage. There are two layers. The text field and the scroller_mc. I created a motion tween and had no errors or dotted tween line but the pieces still do not move into the stage. Why is this?

Thanks guys.

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 (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() {

btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {

Actions Script Image Scroller And Slide Show Questions
Hi, everybody, please help if you can. Don't need you to write the code for me, just point out the proper direction for me to follow. Thanks!

I have a couple of questions if you could help me out please it will be fantastic and greatly appreciated. I have a big headache now and have been working on it for several days.

I'm building my web site and I'm kinda new to flash actionscript. I got the following actionscript from the following site a want to credit for: http://www.flash-creations.com/ , and have customized the script for my own flash movie.
My priorities in building it are:
1. random main image everytime the page is refreshed. (The script already accomplishes this function).
2. image scroller that moves according to the mouse position, and also according to the position it changes its speed. The mouse over, on release and out are working as I want to. (The script also already accomplishes it).
And the next two functions which I cannot seem to make them work like I want to:
1. The main images to change every "x" seconds as if a slide show in a certain order, besides having the random image display everytime the page is refreshed.
2. That the scroller keeps looping even when the mouse is in the out position. I mean, as soon as someone loads the page to have the scroller looping before even the person uses its cursor. And having also the capabilities described above (in #2 above) when he or she does postion the cursor over the scroller. Also having the scroller to continue to loop on "mouse Out" afterwards.

Here's the script. Thank you very much for the help! I have a headache now because I cannot seem to accomplish all of it, I either have something else not working properly or errors poping up.

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 You Make A Smooth Scroller?
Hi guys... I've got a quick question. Is there a good tutorial site where I can make my own, smooth scroller? The way it works is when you click on the bar and drag down the content it should move smoothly unlike the regular flash built in scrollbar. Another question is how could I incorporate pictures into that?

Thank you.

How To Make My Thumbnail Scroller Work?
Hello everyone,
i am very new at this forum. I need some help from some of you flash experts about this particular tutorial listed below:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm
I am currently using Flash MX. Ive had a hard time opening the source file so I tried to go back to the previous tutorial listed below: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...otogallery.htm and use it as the source file to work on this tutorial. The end result was that the main photo viewer window was working fine with "prev" and "next" button but the thumbnails viewer window was empty.
Can someone provide me some advice on how to make it work or provide me with source file for Flash MX. Thank you in advance.

Make An Thumbnail Scroller Loop?
I have this scroller of thumbnail images, but it stops scrolling when the images run out!

is there a way to make it so it loops around and around???

here is the code i used to make it scroll,


Code:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
scroll_speed = 10;
tscroller.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((_root._ymouse>=thumbnail_mc._y) && (_root._ymouse<=thumbnail_mc._y+thumbnail_mc._height)) {
if ((_root._xmouse>=(hit_right._x-40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_right))) {
thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;
} else if ((_root._xmouse<=(hit_left._x+40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed;
}
} else {
delete tscroller.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue-1;
nextImage();
};
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
thumbNailScroller();
};
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
}

HELP- Need To Make Xml Scroller Appear Visible On MouseOver
Hi,

I have used the xml gallery tutorial and have images scrolling at the bottom and playing at the top.

Does any1 know how to make the bottom scroller visible only when the mouse is over? I tried this code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////
scroller.container._visible = true;
scroller.container.onRollOver = function()
{
scroller.container._visible = true;
}
scroller.onRollOut = function()
{
scroller.container._visible = false;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////

When the file loads, the scroller images still come up but when I put my mouse over, they dissappear.

I am trying to make the scroller be invisible when the file loads and only when my mouse is over it appears.

I think because on the Kirupa tutorial, the scroller already has a function which maybe causing the problem. I am not sure.

Can any1 help? please????

How To Make Scroller Stop When Menu Is Active
hi,

in my flash file i use a movieclip that scrolls images controlled by the mouse. there is a variable speed, and if it set to 0, the scroller is stopped.

so far it works fine.
but i also have a dropdown menu which overlaps the scroll area when it is unfolded. and so, if i want to navigate, the images keep quickly scrolling around, which is rather annoying.
the menu is inside a movie clip.

i think i'll have to set the speed variable to 0 when the mouse rolls over the space that the menu occupies.

can you tell me if it works that way and how i have to actionscript that?

thanks a lot

[CS3] Trying Make Flash Scroller That Reads From XML Work
I've attached the code for download.

Essentially what I am trying to create is a flash program that will read from an XML file AND automatically scroll downward. Once it hits the bottom it will repeat from the top of it seamlessly.

It does read the XML so YAY on that...

I Need To Make This Txt Scroller Move Onmouseover, Not Onclick - Help Needed
I have a text scroll box that is moved by an up and down arrow, but you have to actually click it for it to scroll. I'm wanting to set it up to where you just mouse over the arrow and it scrolls automatically. I just downloaded this text scroller, so I'm not sure what to edit in the script. This is what the buttons currently say:

up arrow:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.lPressed=="1") {
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe-1);
}
}


down arrow:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.lPressed=="true") {
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe+1);
}
}

any suggestions?

It's static text that is moving as well as a layer of graphics. Here's a screenshot of the scrolling movieclip if that helps at all: http://www.nlgraphics.com/screenshot.jpg

Can I modify the code that I currently have in place, or would something totally different have to be put together?

Any help is appreciated.

How Do I Make A Xml Driven Thumbnail Scroller Repeat(loop)
Hey guys -

Please see the attached files to figure this one out-

I am creating a thumbnail scroller and I have everything set to work. The last final issue I'm having is this:


The scroller displays 25 items.
8 at a time.

When you page left/page right it scrolls to the next(or previous) 8 thumbs in the list.

This is what we want to happen:
Once the final (25th) thumb is reached it starts over on the first thumb again and we are back at 1. So that it becomes an endless loop.


// What I've Tried ///////////////////////////////
I tried duplicateMovieClip() so that I could have a second one at the end and then continue to exchange x values but it won't work because I have MCs that are being attached dynamically

///////////////////////////////////////////

Notes: I have included the xml document as a txt so that I could upload it. please convert back to xml when testing.

[F8] Flash Xml Image Scroller Make Movieclip Link
hi i've not used flash for a long time.

i've been using the flash tutorials on here to create an image scroller that has the data read in by xml.

the problem i'm having is attaching an attribute to the url of a movieclip.
i can't figure out how to attach it to the movieclip.

Code:
<images>
<pic>
<image>http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/pg/kresge.jpg</image>
<caption>Kresge</caption>
<thumbnail function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
link = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails[i].strURL.push = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].attributes.url;
trace (thumbnails[i].attributes.url); //this returns undefined
is i trace the line above i get all the values out of that attributes
thumbnails_fn(i);


}

} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;

thumbnail_mc._x -= scroll_speed;

} else if ((_root._xmouse<=40) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {

Make A Standard Thumb Scroller / Scroll Infinitely
I've got a standard horizontal thumbnail scroller and want to have it scroll infinitely. So when it reaches the last one in the list from the xml it continues to show thumbnails starting over with the first... alternately when it starts and a user chooses to scroll in the other direction it shows the last one and progresses toward the first...

hopefully that makes sense.

I load the thumbs via xml here:

PHP Code:



function urlLoaded(event:Event):void {    xml = XML(event.target.data);    xmlList = xml.children();    for (var i:int=0; i < xmlList.length(); i++) {        var thumb:Thumbnail = new Thumbnail(xmlList[i].url);        arrayThumb.push(thumb);        thumbNail.push(arrayThumb);        arrayThumb[i].y = 0;        arrayThumb[i].x = 10+(150*i);         photoContainer.addChild(thumb);            }}




then when one of my arrows to navigate left or right, i check to see if reaches the end and if it does I bounce it back to 0. which is what the onComplete event calls to and passes the max positions, in the checkPos function if the argument is true it Tweens all back to 0, but I'd rather just continue looping on through...

PHP Code:



function moveRight(e:MouseEvent):void{        var maxRight:Number = - photoContainer.width + stage.stageWidth;        if(photoContainer.x < maxRight){                 // do nada        }else{        Tweener.addTween(photoContainer,{x:photoContainer.x-300, transition:"easeInOutBack", time:1.5, onComplete:checkPos, onCompleteParams:[maxLeft,maxRight]});    }}




any suggestions

How To Make Kirupa's Infinite Scroller Advance Via Clicking
Hello all,

I have a question...Of course...I want to make Kirupa's infinite scroller advance by clicking an arrow instead of on mouse movement. Does anyone know if this is possible? The tutorial is here...
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm

Essentially I want a line of images to be advanced by the clicking of a button (arrow). BUT I want the images to be back to back so you can see a couple at a time.

THANKS!

Image Scroller That Doesn't Make You Motion Sick
Hi there, I hope someone can help me and my flash handicapp...so I'm trying to make a portfolio website and I want to have a dynamic horizontal image scroller that is stationary until you click on an image. The image that is clicked goes to the center and with another click enlarges. When the enlarged picture is clicked it goes back into the image scroller.
I was inspired by the website at: www.sorenhald.com,

I really don't like the tutorials that I've found and I need some serious help getting started. Please if anyone knows what I'm talking about, can you help direct me or give me some insight. Thank you!

Make Xml Infinite Scroller Load/unload Images In And Out As Needed
I have a xml infinite scroller that currently loads all images all at the same time. It works great but I will need to load about 20 to 30 images that will scroll by and that will cause processing problems.

I am wondering if it would be possible to make the xml infinite scroller only load the images that are in view and then unload them in and out as the scoll by? I have no idea if this is possible but I think many flashers could make use of it.

TEXT CHANGING, When I Copy And Paste Text Scroller, And Add New Text......?
here's the problem:

I have a text scroller I took from a fla. file on here.
on my site, I wanted to just change the text. in the text scroller, and
place it in diffrent sections of my site a number of times with diffrent text.

I do not have a problem, copying and pasting the scroller.
But when I change the text from one section, to the next, it will make all the text the same.

If I copy the scroller and paste it somewhere else, swap the text it will change all to that last text I entered.

I tried, typing one section's text. Then copy/pasting the scroller, and putting new text, and converting that text to a symbol (graphic). Hoping it would work but had no LUCK.

This is huge and i need help, considering I am a newbie, there has got to be away this can be accomplished so I dont have to build seperate text holders/scroller, for all 15 sections of my site.

Let me know..and thank you all so much.

Loss Of Text Formatting When Using Dynamic Text Field & Scroller
Hi all,

Using MX...

Another small problemo im having is when i format text in my dynamic text field and attch the scroller component to it, in preview mode i lose all the text format and it goes to the first text format it encounters and uses that for everything else in the dynamic text box.

Im not actually loading any text into the dynamic text box, im just using it with static text, so i can use the scroller component.(as i understand it, you can only attach the scroller component to a dynamic text box ??)

Why am i losing my text format AND is there a better way to have a scrolling text field when i just want to use static text...???

Thanks guys..hope thats not too confusing

Cheers

Dynamic Text Scroller (text Crawler?) NOT WORKING?
Hi, I am trying to make a movie that gets text from an external text file, and then scrolls it horizontally across the screen. I made a function that takes the object (movie clip with text) and moves it across the screen. it works fine except if the text is more than the width of the text field, i get this nasty trailing effect. it really sucks!

does anyone know a good way to do this? i would also like to be able to have mulitple texts, following eachother, and then looping to start over.

any info would be greatly appriciated!
