Flash :: Linking Text Buttons In Scroll To Image Outside Scroll Area

Linking Text In A Component Scroll Bar Area
Please help!

I've created a component scrollable list with dynamic text linking out to play mp3's being called in from an XML file.

The way it's working currently is when you click on a link in the list it opens and plays the mp3 in a browser.

The way we'd like it to work is when you click on a link it plays the selection. We also have a play button that does the same thing-- but we'd like the option of just clicking on the list and playing the songs as well.

Any ideas?

Here's the code: the 'window 1' area is the place that's calling the song to be played-------

firstLoad = true;
nodeNum = 0;
if(pause != true){
time = "00:00:00";
}

var array = new Array ();
var xml = new XML ();
xml.onLoad = function ()
{
var header, link;
for (var i = 0; i < this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
if (this.firstChild.childNodes[i].nodeName != null){
header = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name;
link = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.path;
array.push (new struct (header, link));
}
}
window1 = "";
for (i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
window1 += "<br><a href="" + array[i].link + "">" + array[i].header + "</a><br>";
}
};
function struct (header, link)
{
this.header = header;
this.link = link;
}
xml.load ("tracklist.xml");

stop();

XML Text Not Appearing In Scroll Area
I haven't posted in two years or so...and I'm just now getting back into flash and need some help.

http://www.tektonic.com/reed/

I decided that it'd be easier to update my news from an XML file - which worked until I added scroll bars.

The movie clip that scrolls up and down in the scroll area will display images, but not the dynamic text that is read in through actionscript.

Has anybody run into this problem? I'm happy to supply any source files if you could help me.

Thanks again!

Skinning The Scroll Bar On A Text Area?
Hey everyone ...

I have a document with a plain old textarea component, linking to a .txt document. What I want to do should be very simple -- just for the up and down arrows to be red. Can anyone help me with this in very simple "newbie" terms?

I know what I'm asking is a real pain in the hiney, but it sure would be a great help to me. I need your expertise!!

THANKS!

How Do You Adjust The Text Scroll Area Of This .fla File?
I have a scroll bar for my text movie that I use throughout this website I created.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to adjust this scroll box so I can add more text, if needed.

I's very limited. I can only add so much text and then it cuts it off, so when I publish the movie it would display all the text inside. I can't even adjust the speed of the floating scroll. I attached the file to this posting. If anybody has knowledge of this, Please help!

Thanks,
Tom

How To Scroll To Specific Area In Text Field?
I am wondering if there is a way to scroll down to a specific area of a text field aside from directly using the scrollV property (specifying the line #). The example would be clicking a "D" button in a glossary and having the text field scroll down to the the beginning of the D terms. Obviously a simple thing in HTML with named anchors, but how to emulate with Flash AS3?

[F8] Freezing An "Infinite Scroll" Menu When The Mouse Exits The Scroll Area?
Hey folks,

I found this great script that adds a fun "infinite scroll" menu to my page. Problem is, the scroll continues to spin even when the mouse cursor moves outside of the scroll's box area. Can anyone recommend an amendment to the script which would allow me to freeze the scroll menu in place when a user moves the cursor outside of the box? I'm new at this stuff, is this a job for "if" and "else if" statements? Any help would be appreciated.

The scroll box is sized to 157 px wide x 355.2 px high. I've uploaded the file I'm working, if that helps at all.

Also, here's the address to the page -

http://seanmurphydesigns.com/illus_page.html

...and the script...

onClipEvent (load) {
ycenter=285;
speed=1/20;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y-=(distance*speed);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y-=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 0) _y=-355.2;
if (_y < -355.2) _y=0;
}

Importing External Text Files Into A Scroll Area
I am making a flash website for a University project and i am a bit stuck at the moment. I have two problems, the being that I need to be able to import an external text file, so that the user can easily update the site. I thought of using loadMovie but that doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions ??

Secondly when i load the text file i want it to be able to figure out if it needs scrolling or not. So if more text gets added later on then a scrollbar can appear or visa versa if text gets taken away then the scrollbar dissapears. The client i am making it for does not have Flash, nor does he know how to use it, so it all needs to be done in the swf file.

Cheers

Noob: Scroll Pane Component & Text Area ?
Ok...so of course this is a noob question.
Situation: I'm trying to put together my first flash website. IM trying to make it as simple as possible though. However I want to use a scroll pane and a text area component. (they are not on the same page.) However, I don't understand how to link the scroll pane component to the data that I want it to display. I looked through some of the behaviours and didnt quite find what I needed.

PLease help.

BTW im using Flash MX 2004 Pro, if that helps. Also Im just barely getting into Action Scripts so Im not as affluent with that.

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

Dynamic Text For Multiple Buttons W/ Scroll Buttons/bar
HELP! I know a similar question to this has appeared multiple times before, but here is my situation:

i have four buttons, each of which will load a a separate text file into a dynamic text field (ie: button A to textfield 1, button B to textfield 1).

The other trick is, this also has a custom scroll bar. (I would rather just use an up and down arrow, but if i have to use a bar as well, I will not be too distraught.)

Is there a way that I can have all the text files loads in a dynamic text field PLUS have a scroll bar to aid with scrolling.

Any help would be greatly appriciated. I have been trying to figure this out for about a week now, and am still no where.

ps: i am a designer, and for some reason, programming, even of the most simple nature, still eludes me. so please take pity me

Scroll Text With Buttons
I've made a basic dynamic text field that scrolls when the user clicks a button using this:

on (release) {
scrolltext.scroll += 1;
}

How would i make it so that when the user hovers over the button it scrolls continuously. i presume its using the on(rollover) function?.

One other thing, would it be possible to add easing to how the text scrolls, so that for example it slows down gradually as opposed to just stopping?.

Thanks.

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?

I Want To Scroll An Image Not A Text Field HELP
Hey Everyone,
I ran into a problem with my scroll text. The font that I'm using is not a common font that people have on their computers so its showing up as the right font. This is a problem because I need it to be exactly a font named Frutiger.
I was thinking about taking the text I'm using and outlining it on illustrator so it becomes shapes. Than maybe instead of scrolling a dynamic textfield my buttons could scroll the image. But I do not know how to scroll images, can someone help me with this?? I need a way to make the image scroll up and down when people push the scroll buttons. Thank you everyone.

HELP: Scroll Text And Images On Background Image
[Repost in appropriate forum]

Hi there,

I'm a complete newbie to Flash MX, but learning fast...
I've been seraching through previous posts - but I haven't been able to find and answer.

I wish to be able to scroll text and images within a scrollpane box on top of the main background image/jpg of the movie and have the scrollpane box transparent. I've tried it with text and a scrollbar and it works good (see example). It seems that when you make the MC with the text and images you want to display, it retains the white background when you view it.

I've attached a little example test url to show what I'm talking about, it shows both the scrollpane (on the Left) that is not transparent with the background and the scrollbar on the right that is.... This is the effect that I'm trying to accomplish. I also have a shadow and a semi-transperent box on which I placed the scroll boxes, might be a bit hard to see with the backgound pic on this example.

If their is an entirely different way to get the same effect, I would like if you would share it.

Any help appriciated
many thanks,
JD

Here is my example..!

Dynamic Text. Horizontal Image Scroll
A client has changed the parameters of the flash movie. Initially it was a horizontal image scroll driven by navigation beneath the scroll, and a left side horizontal text scroll. One text document that allow the user to scroll through all the copy.

The client now wants the copy in the scrolling text field to change depending upon which image the user has chosen. Images 1-3 demonstrate a set of capabilities that should have accompanying text, Images 4-6, etc. And this needs to be done ASAP to coincide with a product launch! I'm sure this is a total neophyte question.

The current working piece is at:
http://tunnelstudio.biz/tests/ts002_...oll_v05_mo.swf
(assets have to be put in place and the scroll changed graphically)
the fla is in the same tests folder.

Referring URL 1: http://tunnelstudio.biz/tests/ts002_...oll_v05_mo.swf

I'm having difficulty putting together the actionscript that will load a different text file into the dynamic text field depending upon which image in the scroll is displayed. Does the actionscript for that reside in the "frameleft" library item that contains the text field, or in the "scroller" library item that contains the numbers for navigation (that control the "clip general" strip of images)?

This is the actionscript for the text field:

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("casestudies.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.bellacor;
};
stop();

(but this script won't work if I set it to "this.informedesign" which is also contained with "casestudies.txt")

and this is the actionscript for the scroller:

on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask._x+(-2-1)*280/2;
}

each number for the navigation slides the image to the left or right. e.g. "root.mask._x+ (-4-1)", (-6-1), (-8-1), etc.TextText

All is help is much appreciated.

Diplay Image And Text In A Scroll Bar? Urgent
I've a CD presentation using flash and XML. The CD includes a search facility. The search and rest of the things are ok but the problem that the result comes along with the picture that is reading from XML file. Sometimes the result contains more that one person's details with photographs. So scrolling the content area is necessary. I've tried to display both, the pciture and result (text) but the scroll bar component doesn't support picture. <img> tag i've tried but no result. Is there any other option for display the image and text withing a scrolling area.
