Flash :: Key Press Scroll

Scroll Bar(press And Hold)
How do I make so when I click and hold on a small MC, it moves another MC down or up, but keeps doing it while the mouse is pressed, but stopps when button is released. Just like regular windows scrolling.

I just need basic code, I can incorperate, only need to know the method. Basically I cant see where flash knows that the button is down, it can only detect when its been PRESSED, but not that the button is down. can someone show me basic code?

Thanks for all help

One Press Scroll Button
I have made a very basic scrollable movieclip (one MC, one up button, one down button). Nothin' fancy.
I have got it to work (sort of), but there's one last thing I can't get to work.

On the (up) button I have a basic action:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("mc") {
prevFrame();
}
}

(and nextFrame for the down button).

What I would like to for the user to be able to press the button and hold, and it scrolls. At the moment, it just goes to the 'prev/nextFrame' and stops, so you have to keep clicking to get to the top/bottom.

Any way this can be done without being too hardcore about it? Any and all help appreciated.

Adding Key Press Scrolling To Scroll Box
Hi all,

I have this code (see below) for a scrolling text box. I would like to add to it that if the user presses or holds down the down arrow key on the keyboard, (and if possible if the user scrolls with the mouse wheel) the scroll should work too. I have tried a number of ways including adding it as a listener, a variable and just a plain on function but it has not worked. No matter what I try, the player does not seem to recognize the key press. My file is over 13 mb and this is my first post so I'm not sure if I can upload it. If you need to see it, I'll email it to you.

The only thing is that it has to be compatible with AS1.

Here is my original code:

thanks!

txt.setMask(mask)

On Press Scroll Browser Window To Bottom?
Hi all, say i have a movie which is width=500 and height=900, and i have a button at top of page,is it possible to have an 'on press' go to bottom or a particular area of the movie where the user doesn't have to physically scroll down via the browser's scroll bar.

just like you have in dreamweaver/html sites where you can go 'to top of page' and 'bottom of page' or at a point in the page.

If anyone can help or at least point me in the right direction, i will be most thankfull .

Thanks in advance

Draggable Finger Pic That's Used To Press A Button To Scroll Text On My Flash Page.
I am trying to make the following.

There is a finger on the flash page I am building. The User has to use his curser and press on the finger to be able to drag it around the page. If he releases the mouse button, it will let go of dragging the finger around. What the user must do is get that finger to hover over the up or down button that I have on the Flash page. The up and down buttons are the buttons for a scrollable text on the Flash page. When the finger hovers over one of the buttons, it moves a scrollable text up or down.

Any Flash gurus here that can help is Faboulous.

Thank You

Button Press + Key Press Together In Perfect Harmony?
Well, i have been trying now for a while to get my buttons to display the corresponding number in a text box. I have achieved it so that if you click on the button with the mouse cursor it will happen. I can also do this for a keypress, but sadly they will not work as an either/or option. What actually happens is that the keypress is disabled until the mouse has activated the on release.
Here is the code:

on (release){
if (password == "") {
password = "1";
} else {
password += "1";
}
}
on(keyPress "1"){
if (password == "") {
password = "1";
} else {
password += "1";
}
}

Any suggestions will be greatly welcomed.
Thanks

Add A Movieclip On Button Press, Remove On Another Button Press...
Sounds a little confusing maybe, but the idea is rather simple... I'm trying to figure out a way to have a + and a - button. When a user hits the + button, a movieclip appears. If they hit it again, another duplicate movieclip appears next to the first, etc... basically adding movieclips along the x-plane. Now, when the user hits the - button, the movieclip on the furthest right-hand side is removed, when hit again the next movieclip furthest on the right-hand side is removed, etc until there are no more movieclips.

It's basically an add and subtract movieclip function but I have no idea how to set this up. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Scroll Bar Show Up If Needed And Only Scroll To Dynamic Text Input Bottom... HOW
I have attached a copy of my scroll bar that i am currently using how can i make the scroll bar not show up unless needed (really not all that important but would be nice.)

The important thing is that i can setup a dynamic text box inside my item_holder movie clip but my scroller always scrolls to the bottom of the scroll box not matter if inside my scroll box i have on line of text loaded dynamicly or i have 100. So if i have 1 line of text and a large dynamic text box the scroll bar will scroll to the bottom of the scroll box even though it only has one line. See attachment and see if anyone can help. Thanks in advance. Brian

Change Vert Scroll Script To Horiz Scroll
I found this tutorial for a scrollbar. It works great for vertical scrolling (ex:http://www.matthewterry.net/safetyguide.html click any section), but I want to change it to scroll horizontally, for another project.

Can someone help me change it to affect horizontal scrolling?

On the content's movie:

onClipEvent(load){
goY = this._y;
myY = this._y;
ySpeed = 0;
clicked = false;
delay = 2;
barDis = 380;
barPercent = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(math.round(myY) != math.round(goY) || clicked == true){
barPercent = (_parent.scroller.scrolllever._y/barDis)*100;goY = 116.7 - ((340/100)*barPercent);
myY = this.setonescroll._y;
ySpeed = (myY-goY)/delay;
this.setonescroll._y -= ySpeed;
}
}

On the scroller:

on(press){
startDrag(this,0,0,0,0,_parent._parent.setone.barD is);
_parent._parent.setone.clicked = true;
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
stopDrag();
_parent._parent.setone.clicked = true;
}

Please Help Me Place The Arrows Of My ScrollPane Scroll Bar Together On One End Of The Scroll Track
I have a scrollpane component with a movie clip of some thumbnail images.

I just want to have its scrollbar arrows together on one end of the track (or together ANYwhere) instead of having them at opposite ends of the scroll track.

I have been able to customize the appearance of the scrollpane and its scrollbar using the HaloTheme library, but that approach has so far been of no use in getting the arrows together.

I cannot tell you how deeply any help will be appreciated. I will probably sob and mewl with gratitude, the way I imagine someone lost in a vast rain forest for many weeks mewls when rescued. I am desperate. I am going insane. Please, please help me.

Modifying Position Of Scroll Arrows In Scroll Pane
Does anyone out there know how to modify the code of the standard Flash component scroll pane to allow you to place the arrows anywhere you want on the page? I was able to go in and assign x and y coordinates for them, but they seem to be linked to the bounding box somehow and whenever I raise or lower them the box follows suit, which ends up cutting of the content inside the box...

I didn't post any code because there is so **** much of it and I can't figure out where it is that the position of the arrows is linked to the position of that ****ed box (this is what I suspect the problem is, but please tell me if you know different!)!!!

Scroll Gallery [doesn't Scroll After Particular Point]
Hello guys,

I have got this script from one of the opensource files on flashkit and want to use it for one of my requirements. Basically all I want to do is, scroll images vertically based on mouse movement. I've done that already but the issue is that when I have over 10-15 images, it doesn't scroll as there is no place left for the mouse to go further down. If you have a look at the attached file, you'll know what exactly I am talking about. Ideally, if mouse is held downwards, the images should keep scrolling untill it reaches it's end.

Can anybody have a look at the fla and help me out.

Cheers,
D

Scroll Wheel - Control Page Scroll?
Alrightly... So I have a flash file that is 750 x 1000 px and is embedded into an html page. Since it's height is a 1000px in order to see the whole flash file one needs to scroll down on the page. This is fine except that when people are working with the flash file (have clicked on it) and then want to use the scroll wheel it won't scroll the html page..

I realize this is because in flash you can assign your own properties to the scroll wheel. But is there a way to have the scroll wheel perform it's normal function of scrolling the html page?

I'm not sure if there is an easy way or if I would have to write some code for flash to call javascript to scroll the page? I know people must have run into this problem before and probably have some good solutions.

Thanks in advance

[scroll] Scroll That Reacts To The Mouse Wheel
Hy guys,

Do you know how can I make a scrollable text that reacts to the mouse wheel. Here you can see an example: link here

Look at the news section, or at the about us section.

The majority oh the text scrollers on the web didn't react at the mouse wheel. I found this site and I was surprised when I found that I can scroll with my mouse wheel.

Hope some one knows how they do that.

Thx.

Scroll Box Buttons - Constant Scroll?
Yo,

I've made a scrolling text box, but I cant figure out how to have it so when I simply hold my cursor over the up or down scroll button the text box will constantly scroll in the corresponding direction. I've tried while/for/do loops and I'm stuck, how would you do this utterly simple task?

Also, does anyone know how to make a working scroll bar? One that a user can click like a real windows environment window?

OnRollover Scroll Down...ondrag Scroll Up
Hey guys,

I was wondering if you guys could help me create a flash component for a site I'm working on right now. What I need is a scrollpane type thing, where when the user rolls over the content area, the content will begin to scroll down, and when the user rolls out, the content stops scrolling. Also, the user will be able to drag the content up (not down, they will only be able to drag the content up, they will rollover to make the content go down).

Could you please help me with this?

Thanks.

Scroll Bar - Scroll Pane Issue
I have a scroll pane issue that I can't seem to solve. The issue is, if I load my scroll pane with an image and then on mouseover of the scroll pane change my cursor, I can no longer use the scroll panes scroll bars with my new cursor. If I remove all of my zoom code and just change the cursor the result is the same.

this is my code:

Code:
this.zoom_in.onPress = function() {
var zoomin = false;
pictures.onRollOver = function() {
zoomin = true;
Mouse.hide();
this.attachMovie("mag_in", "cursor_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:this._xmouse, _y:this._ymouse});
};
pictures.onMouseMove = function() {
this.cursor_mc._x = this._xmouse;
this.cursor_mc._y = this._ymouse;
};
pictures.onRollOut = function() {
zoomin = false;
Mouse.show();
this.cursor_mc.removeMovieClip();
};
pictures.onMouseDown = function() {
if (zoomin=true) {
if (pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX>=1600) {
this.zoom_in.enabled(false);
bgSound.start();
} else {
pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX *= 1.5;
pictures.content.myLoader.scaleY *= 1.5;
trace(Math.floor(pictures.content.myLoader.scaleX));
}
pictures.invalidate();
}
};
};
