Scroll Bar Component Doesn't Scroll When Dynamic Txt Is Used?
I have a dynamic text box with the Flash UI component "Scroll Bar" attached to it. It works and scrolls fine when you enter text directelly into the dynamic box but when you use the loadVariables command to load an external txt file into it, it fails to scroll the text?

Scroll Bars Dont Show Up
Hello,

I've been designing web sites for a while now but I'm new at the Flash game. Using Flash MX 2004 I've added scrollbars to a few pages on a site i've created. On my computer everything shows up fine...but I've noticed that if I view it on another computer the scroll sometimes doesnt show. I'm not sure if this is an issues with resolution, flash version or mabie the "drag & drop" scroll bars I used from the components menu.
Here is the link if you wanna look...check out the "special features & events" link under "visitors"

I want it to scroll normal. I open just attitude.swf and it scrolls fine. Its just because it loads another movie. ANY SOLUTIONS ANYONE?

Scroll Buttons In External Swf Dont Work
i have an external swf movie which contains scrolling text. This is loaded into the main movie using targets. The text appears, but the scroll buttons dont work - this is my scripting for the buttons

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (textscroll) {
_root.mytext.scroll--;
}
}

I think that _root. becomes invalid, but i dont know what to replace it with. I am using v5.

When tested on its on the swf works fine.

any help please?

Basic Question: are ther any ways of stopping components loaing before preloaders?

_levelX Buttons Dont Work After _levelX+1 Movie Beggins To Scroll
Hola
I figured out how to target a loaded movie from the main timeline... but now something else arose.

in Frame 1 of my Mainmovie
frame 1

loadMovieNum ("doors.swf", 5);
loadMovieNum ("scrollingmenu.swf", 4);

frame 2
stop 0;

I have a button in my Main movie set to control opening and closing the doors

on (press){ _level5["doorAction"].gotoandPlay("close");

}
on (rollOut){_level5["doorAction"].gotoandPlay("open");
}

...I get the doors to open and close ... as scrollingmenu.swf starts scrolling ( depending on mouse posiiton - the scrollingmenu.swf is not even close to the button controlling door.swf) My button on _level0 doesn't react to press or rollOut ...
I dont get it ...

Any suggestions?... =) "Gracci Tanti"

Scroll Bar Component
I've put a scrollbar (UI Component) and a textfield which can display the value of a variable (call it "a").

However, when I assign values to "a" using actionscripts, the scrollbar doesn't work even the textfield is not large enough to show all the contents.

What's the problem?

Scroll Component
Hi, dunno if I should have posted this in the n00b section =), but anyway here goes..

I got a scroller component from a magazine (Computer Arts #33) and I was able to get it to work fine. But when the swf with the scroll component is loaded into my main movie the draggable part of the scrollbar stops working =(

I think it might have to do with that the different component parts refer to "_parent" instead of a specific target.. but that's just my guess.. i dont know any actionscript, so ill leave the problem to yuz guyz =)

You can download the files from http://www.acceon.net

Thanx!

Scroll Bar Component
Hi,

I just made a dynamic text box and filled it with text that was bigger than the box. The extra text was hidden right.
I dropped in the scrollbar component gave it a target and it worked great. I closed the file. The when I reopened it the text box had resized to the size of the text. Like the excess wasn't hidden anymore. I tried to resize it smaller than the text and it doesn't want to shrink smaller. Why? Thanks

Php To Scroll Component
I have this php page that I'm pulling into a dynamic text box connected to a scroll bar component. It works fine when I'm looking at my site locally, but doesn't work on my live site. Here is the code I used:

Code:
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("http://www.listenfaster.com/blueq/flash_news.php");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};

Scroll Component
Ok I got the scroll to work but text will go on for ever to the right. I mean I have the text box the size I want and the text keeps going under the scroll bar to the right until I push enter then it comes back to where it is suppose to. Also the text is double spaced. How do I fix?

Also I am new if you couldn't figure it out

Thanks

Scroll Bar Component
Hello all,
I have a scroll bar question. Is there something special that I need to do when using this component with a dynamic text field that is importing the text in order for it to work. I have no trouble with the scroll bar when using it on a dynamic text field when the text is created within Flash. I only have trouble when the text is imported. The parameters for the scroll tell me that it is attached to the text field, but when I publish, the text shows up and the scroll bar is disabled. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Please Please Help Me. Scroll Bar Component
i have NEVER been about to get the scroll bar component to work in MX. I have no clue what im doing wrong. I've looked at several tutorials about it, and followed them, and still cant get it to work

im trying to attach the scroll bar to a dynamic text field, I get the text to come up in the test, but it wont scroll. its attached to the instance as well, but still nothing. please help me.

UI Scroll Bar Component
I have attached a UI Scroll bar component (MX 2004) to a dynamic text field. It snaps to the text field as indicated in the Help Guide. The vertical size of the scroll bar matches the height of the text field. However, there is no thumbwheel or end caps visible. Clicking on the track does cause the text to scroll however (though you can't click all the way to the top or bottom of the file).

I tried changing the MinMaxSize parameters (NOT LISTED IN THE DAMN HELP GUIDE) but saw no change. Anyone else used one of these animals?

Scroll Down Component
I have a simple scroll down coponent in mx ver6, I want to have the text align to the right and have tried to do this but the scroll bar is always far right of the text. Is there a command I am missing to do this?

Thanks

Scroll Component
how do i use the scroll bar component in mx? i've tried it a million times, and yes, all the forms were filled in with the correct information.

Scroll Bar Component
Background: I have a text field that reads in the text from an external file. I want this to be scrollable but I see the ScrollBar component was missing from Flash MX 2004. I also see that this is a known issue on the Macromedia support pages (http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...fm?id=tn_19237) and they recommend creating it yourself either with a TextArea or from scratch with ActionScript. The TextArea solution didn't seem to fit the bill and the ActionScript they provided produced several errors and didn't work as intended.

Question: What is an easy way to add a scroll bar to a text area that loads in from an external file?

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

UI Component - Scroll Pane
This is an urgent matter, please reply if u hv any idea

I tried to use the scroll pane to load a series of swf, I used a array to store the swf names use a button the move from one name to another. but when i tested the movie, it doesn't work! Instead, it 'loaded' the movie but nothing is displayed in the panel.

How to solve this problem

Scroll Bar Component Woes
I am changing the content of a dynamic text box with a button press. I have a scroll bar attached to the movie and each time the button is clicked I setScrollTarget(myTextBoxName). The scroller doesn't seem to pick up the change and the text that is larger than the box can't be scrolled. It seems as though when I put new text in the box dynamically it isn't reseting properly. Does anyone have any ideas?

Scroll Pane Component
Is there a way to put an image in the scroll pane?
How about a scripted button?

Component Scroll Bar For Flash MX
I notice that when I use the component scroll bar in my movie, it adds 16kb to the first frame, preventing anything from loading (and the user from seeing anything). How can I move that kb down the line to a different point in the movie? I used a GUI scroll bar. If this is not possible, are there any tutorials on creating a scroll bar between arrows that scroll text created in Flash (NO EXTERNAL TEXT FILES). Thanks, Tim

Scroll Bar Component And Fonts

Thanks!

Scroll Text Component
I have created a scroll text bar with the components that comes with Flash MX. It works fine , but I find out that somehow I cannot make a word or perhaps a sentence to be italic or bold etc. If I change one word to a different font,the whole scroll text's font will be changed.

Am I doing something wrong???

Thank you so much for all the help!

Scroll Bar Component Tutorial
Does any one know of a good scroll bar tutorials in MX that i can learn how to apply it to text in a specified area. I just spent two hours on a tutorial on scroll bars in Flash 5 and I am still lost. Hopefully the component in Flash MX makes it easier for simple minded artists like myself. Any and all info is greatly appreciated from the great minds out in cyber space. Please hear my prayers oh great ones!!!

Component Scroll Width
Hi,

I am using components in a project, which i need to skin to fit with the graphics of the site. Its all working fine except I need to adjust the width of the scrollbar in various components.

I have found that the width of a scrollBar component itself can be adjusted by using this code:

Code:
myScrollInstance._width = 5;

But how do I adjust the width of a scrollBar inside of another component? I imagine its a case of knowing where to put the actionscript, and how to target the scrollBar inside the component to define its width?

I already posted something about this, but I think my question was too specific before...

Thanks in advance, Matt

Scroll Pane Component...Please Help
I have a scroll pane with a MC in it...It scrolls, but the content isn't "in" the scroll pane...it looks like it's "on top" of it...

In other words, I can see t content above & below it... when I scroll, the content goes up above it & doesn't get hidden...same with the content below...

I need it to sit "inside" the scroll pane, thus the conent should only be visible "inside" it...

How do I do this???????
