Flash :: Scroll Pixelfonts

* Pixelfonts *
anybody have a good pixelfont they might be willing to share with me?
feels like i've searched the whole internet, and all the pixelfonts i find are excellent, but you have to pay for them, and i've never bought anything on the internet, i don't like giving out creditcard numbers etc. plus, who wants to pay 50 dollars when all you need is one font? if you know any links or have one installed that you could e-mail, i would really appreciate it! thanks!

Centering Pixelfonts Possible?
In a menu I am using pixelfonts for the caption. The caption needs to be centered, but when centering the pixelfont doesn't align to a whole pixel anymore (example _x of pixelfont = 1.3 instead of 1.0 as is necessary). As a result the text gets blurred.

Any Ideas on how I can center the text and still having pixelfont advantages?

Loading Pixelfonts To Appear Clearly
Brief question, and to all you pro's out there, should be quick to answer. I'm using a pixelfont (vary between Kroege and some freebie fff fonts). Problem is that when I'm loading an mc into my main movie, the text appears blury, not crisp as it should.
What's the sweetest way to get text to appear crisply?

Any help would be greatly apprecitated.
Thanks

Question About Pixelfonts...
Is there a pixelfont available which is really close to Verdana HTML text 9px?

FFF Alias is to wide, so is Standard 07_54...

Does anyone knows if there is a pixelfont closer to Verdana 9pts HTML...or knows a clean, easy readable Pixelfont with both Capitals and undercast letters????

Thanks!

Pixelfonts+flashMX
hi folks,
i am wondering if flash is just a tool for insane freaks, who don't need to earn money, have a lot time to spend, believing in miracles and so on. maybe some companies hiring people for some bucks and let them do the flash. globalization.

ok.
who likes to make my flash animation? just kidding.

i read them all, the tutorials about the fonts (also fff-fonts) and embedding and x/y coordination fixing and breaking apart and and and. BUT it don't work every time. Who the hell has the nerves to make this nice flashs out there?

importing gifs from firework doesn't work, also after deleting the source fork, flash recognizes the font and displaying it wrong....

i have two buttons of the same kind (act. duplicating the first one) after changing the text it get displayed blurry? why?
maybe someone likes to look at it:

What Makes Pixelfonts Blurry?
minor problem: i am using pixelfonts for my new flash site and it looks really sharp and crisp and nice and all. but there is this one place where a couple of links are placed and they come out all blurry, they have _x and _y that are whole numbers, and i used links just like them in other places and they look fine... just can't figure it out...

thanks

Pixelfonts Anti-aliased ?
Hey! I've tried absolutely everything found here, but the blasted fonts are still anti-aliased. (FLASH MX)

The font is FFF Galaxy (from fontsforflash/freebies) or any other pixel font, for that matter, its size is 8, its x & y positions are whole numbers, it's a dynamic text, line type is "Single line", text is left-justified.

problem #1: If I embed characters, text gets anti-aliased. If I don't embed, nobody will see it properly.
problem #2: if I break text apart, using CTRL+B command, text gets anti-aliased again. I know that I should set the "publish" quality to "low", but I want to keep the anti-alias on other objects.

Can anybody help, please? How do I anti-alias background (which was made in AdobeIllustrator), but keep the text crisp?

Pixelfonts, Publishing And Margins
Okay...
I'm designing a new website in Flash MX. So far, so good.
A little while ago, I learned that to use pixel fonts in a good way, you need to always position them on ,0 values. Like 100,0 instead of 100,3.

When I preview my movie in Flash MX itself, everything looks fine. It's all great. But when I watch the .swf on internet, the text is blurry! How does it DARE!!!

And especially, how does it come? Is it because I'm looking at the .swf file right away on the internet? ( I mean, like http://www.mydomain.com/index.swf) instead of in an html file?

I'm soooooooo frustrated!!! GRAAA!

Burry Pixelfonts When Swf Displayed In Browser?

thanks!

Strange Behaviour Of Pixelfonts When Loaded Into Mc
Hi,

I'm having an swf with pixelfonts. When rendered, they are sharp.
When I load this swf in another it gets blurry. Into a level or an empty mc, doesn't mather, they become blurry. No scaling going on, round positioning etc...I use them for years...Is this flash 8?

Don't understand it but freaky annoying :s

Anyone experienced this / work around?

thanks in advance

My Pixelfonts Aren't Clear In Flash.
Whenever I try using my pixel fonts in Flash (mx 2004) they blur, even though I have bold off. The only way to keep it from blurring is to zoom in once...... Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Autosize "center" Blurs Pixelfonts..?
I'm trying to create buttons which create a txtfld within themself, and I'd like to center the txt.. it's working but the txt is blurring..
This is the code inside the but_mc..

ActionScript Code:
_parent.createTextField("but_txt", 1, 0,0, 1, 1);
tekst = new TextFormat();
tekst.font = "standard 07_51";
tekst.size = 8;
tekst.color = 0x000000;
_parent.but_txt.autoSize = "center";
_parent.but_txt.embedFonts = true;
_parent.but_txt.border = 0;
_parent.but_txt.background = 0;
_parent.but_txt.selectable = 0;
_parent.but_txt.text = "Home";
_parent.but_txt.setTextFormat(tekst);

Is there any way to stop the txt from blurring...or another easy way to center the txt in the middle of the button?
this._x=Math.Random(this._x)
this._y=Math.Random(this._y) isn't the problem..

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

Make The Browser Scroll Bar Scroll A Flash Text Box?
Is there anyway that javascript can detect when and which scroll bar button is clicked? I want to use javascript to make the browser scrollbar scroll a flash textbox.

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;
}

Thanks,
Matt

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 Page Scroll Bars/boarder
anyone have idea how to change the scrollpane scroll bars in 2004 and how to get wride of the border?

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();
}
};
};
