HELP: RESET SCROLL TEXT
Hello

I've got few text.txt file which are dynamicly loaded into textfield...
I don't have any problem with loading those texts or scrolling them down or up, the problem is reseting them when I load another text after last has been scrolled.

Problem: for example, when I scroll one text in the middle of text field, then I load second external text in to same text field the text appear in the same position as it was scrolled last text and so on.
Question: how do I reset those text when I load them???

script for up scroll

Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrolling) {
_root.mainText.scroll--;
}
}
script for down scroll

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrolling) {
_root.mainText.scroll++;
}
}
the instance name of textfield is "mainTextField"
the name of "var:mainText"

Load Text From A External File In A Scroll Bar
Hi there,

My problem is, that I can load text from a notepad file, but when I load that text into a scroll bar box, the scroll bar doesn't work. It seems like for the scrool bar the text doesn't exist...

My question is:

Can I use text loaded from a external file into a textbox with a scroll bar?-if yes, how?

Text Component - Reset Scroll
Hi Folks

I wonder if anyone can help me out.

I am using a text component to read in text from an external txt file. The text component spans about five frames and reads in a new variable each time flash is sent to a new frame

All good so far.

the problem is that if the text is scrolled then the next frame is selected, the newly imported text is also scrolled, thus the viewer does not see the top of the text.

is there some code I can add to each frame to reset the scroll function? I have tried scroll/maxscroll= 0 etc but to no avail.

I'd be grateful if someone could assist me with this dilema.

cheers in anticipation

Scroll Text Position RESET?
I know this is a dumb question, but it would've taken me forever to search through all the rest of the posts regarding Scrolling Text boxes.

So I have text scrolling in a dynamic text box. Buttons control it's movement, up and down with (scroll --) and (scroll ++).

Let's say I read to the bottom of this text, and then load a new file into this same box. When I do this, the new text is scrolled to the bottom.

My Question:
How do I reset the scrolled position back to the top for each new file that I load??

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

Reset Scroll Position
I have all my scroll components working correctly (finally ) except one minor aspect. Once a user has scrolled down on the page, when they change the dynamic field they are using, it retains the position of the original text. I tried using (on the MC that contains the textfield and scroll components):

Code:
reset._root.Display.theText.maxscroll;
but that failed. Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. The coding on the MC in total is:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.loadVariables("home.txt");
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
reset._root.Display.theText.maxscroll;
if (_root.Display.theText.maxscroll>=2) {
_root.Display.ScrollUpText._visible = true;
_root.Display.ScrollDownText._visible = true;
}
else {
_root.Display.ScrollUpText._visible = false;
_root.Display.ScrollDownText._visible = false;
}
delete this.onenterFrame;

}
Thanks!

Reset MovieClip Scroll Bar
I've created an image gallery that allows the user to select from multiple galleries, which are loaded dynamically using XML. I've implemented a homemade scrollbar to scroll through the thumbnails, which works perfectly. However, when I select a new category, the scrollbar remains where the user left it, and the new content is loaded as if it has already been scrolled.
How do I wipe it out and reset it for each new category.

Thank you!

Window Scroll Reset?
Hey Guys

I need to know if there is anyway to set the window back to its topmost scroll position upon pressing a button.

Here is what I mean.

I have a large flash page that users will have to scroll down with their browser window . However at the bottom of each page there is a "next page" button which moves the flash movie to the next frame. Is there anyway I can get the browsers current scroll position to reset itself to the top of the page when it skips to the next frame?

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks in advance

MODERATORS Help Reset Scroll Position?
Hi all,

I am loading text from 3 text files into the same dynamic textField on press of 3 seperate buttons.

The textField is in a movieClip and i have the following onClipEvent code on that movieClip to scroll the brought in text

==============onClipEvent Code==================

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (downScroll == "1") {
this.prodText.scroll = this.prodText.scroll+1;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (upScroll == "1") {
this.prodText.scroll = this.prodText.scroll-1;
}
}
===============================================

Quite simple, i have buttons within the movieClip that set upScroll and downScroll variables to 1 and 0 on press and release respectively. Scrolling occurs as reqiured.

The problem is that if i scroll one of the texts and then load another textfile into my same dynamic textfield, the scrollposition of the dynamic textfield is not reset, so i have the textField displaying the new information halfway down the page if you will.

Is there any way that i can reset the scroll position of the dynamic textfield when i load a new section's text on the press of one of my original 3 buttons??

i am already clearing the textfield on press and then loading the new text files on release - i thought this may solve my problem but it has not.

Hope i have explained myself clearly

Thanks in advance

How To Reset Scroll Position In DataGrid ?
How can I reset the scroll position back to the top after reloading the datagrid (after a database call) using the 2004 Datagrid? For instance, if I load in something with 100 entries and scroll down a ways then load something with 1 entry, I can't see the new entry unless I drag upwards with my mouse (no scroll bars since there is only 1 item);

I am using the dg.removeAll() followed by several dg.addItem() and finally dg.redraw().

I then tried dg.setScrollPosition(0), dg.vPosition(0), dg.scroll = 0... nothing worked.

any ideas?

Scroll Bar Will Not Reset When New Movie Is Loaded
I'm new here. Any help will be much appreciated!!

I'm building a site that has a list of banners which categorize various clothing designers by brand on the accessories page. The banners are scrolling buttons. When clicked, a banner should bring up a new set of thumbnails showing the inventory of the designer listed on the banner. Once on the inventory page, the scroll bar stays in the position of the previous banner page - making it possible to completely miss the second page of thumbs if left scrolled halfway down the list.
I worked on this for the past few days thinking that a solution must be right in front of my face - but....
website: http://www.circlesandsquares.biz - click the shopping cart/accessories. (second banner down is linked)

Here is what I did:

In first scrolling movie ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ banner button has this code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

on frame two I have a empty mc - "holder" and designate it as the target in which the new movie (an external swf.) ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œqueen_bee2.swfÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â will replace the original.

loadMovie("queen_bee2.swf", "holder");

I tried to use the "setScrollPosition" method to reset the scrollbar with no results. Help if you can!! Thanks. (Using Falsh MX on a Mac)

Dynamic Scroller - Reset Scroll Position. HELP ME
I'm using the dynamic scroller found on the kiropa site found here http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

In the action script on the ScrollBar, I can't find what variable to change to reset the position of the bar to the top of the scroller when I use the same dynamic text area for other content. It loads just fine, but if the scroller was left at the bottom, it stays there on the new text until you move it a bit, then the text catches up.

I'm hoping to find the variable and reset it when the new text loads.

I'd appreciate your time since I'm still a novice with action script.

Thanks.

FMX DYNAMIC LOAD/Scroll Text QUESTION
hello,

I am getting a error loading the url after completing the dynamic Scrollable text Tutorial.
The Error:

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Sonic%20Bee/Desktop/DNS/Fla%20Source%20Files/kirupa.txt"

My movie is in that folder. Maybe someone else has already encountered this issue, maybe not. I have gone over the tutorial quite a bit i cannot see what I am missing.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Scroll Using Dynamic Text From A Txt File
I'm working on a scroll that loads the text from a txt file .. But i'm having problems with a little detail..

My Goal:

What i'm trying to do is to have two pieces of scrollabe text on my site .. and that these texts be stored at the same txt file ..

What Am i Doing ?

The txt file has a "body=" statement wich i conected to the var input on the dynamic text box .. If you open the txt file i'll link right at the end of this thread you'll see what i mean ..

what i did was add a "text=" statement on it and moved on to flash ..

(see the fla file to understand what i'm saying now)

In flash i put another tScroll movieclip (just duplicated it on the frame without duplicating clips) and then i breaked the movieclip once till i find the textHolder movieclip .. breaked it again and found the dynamic text box .. then i altered the var to text.. If i hadn't breaked the clips this 2 times i would have changed the original clip when i altered the var imput on the copied clip ..

I hoped it would work but to my surprise it didn't .. there are two objetcs called mov.eventLoop and mov.process that don't allowed the clip to work since i lost them on the break deal .. If you regroup the instances (or whatever the individual elements are called) you won't get it back (obviously) and the clip won't work ..

I really wouldn't like to have 2 txt files with 2 different texts .. part of that because to change the second movie's action (the copied) on the textHolder object and don't change the original i would have again to break the clip and lose the effect of mov.eventLoop and mov.process (wich i believed is about the scrolling itself) ..

Bottom of line is:

Can anyone help me to duplicate my scroll in a way i can call a different section of the txt file on each one of them ? Let me now if you didn't understand what i wanna do ...

P.S.: I'm using Flash MX and this scroll was originally made on Flash 5..

Help With Text From A .txt File To Scroll On Page
Forgive my lack of knowledge!

I need a basic 'how to' tutorial to create a scrolling text pane. I need this text to come in from a .txt file so it can be updated by anyone at a later date.

I need it to be a very simple guide with basic instructions.

My plan is to have a few scenes with text included on them, this text being the text coming in from the .txt file. It needs to be scrollable just in case there is a lot of text.

Can anyone either provide me with a link or give me some step by step instructions or even a fla source file to play with.

Many thanks

Scroll Bar With External Text File
Hello all,

I need to make a flash movie with a graphic background with text from an external file.

Ideally:
1) The text file would NOT have to be imported into the flash movie. It would simply be in the same web folder as the flash file.
2) Even better the text file would have a separate css file so I can change font size etc, while I tweak the movie, and get client approval.

If 1 and 2 are not possible, then I can live with importing the text file. But CSS would sure be a nice addition!

BTW I have Flaxh MX Professional 2004.

Thanks

[F8] External Text W/ Scroll - Problem W. Partial Load
The problem I am having is when loading an external .TXT file into a text box, it only loads the first 10 lines or so, and abrubtly stops mid sentence. I am trying to have a .txt file as the blog that I can update easily, without going through Flash. Everything was working great, until I came across this...I have no indication as to why it would be stopping at a certain point...
The code I am using in the frame's Action is:

Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
blog_txt.text = this.myVariable;
};
myData.load("blog.txt");

down_btn.onPress = function() {
blog_txt.scroll += 1;
};
up_btn.onPress = function() {
blog_txt.scroll -= 1;
};
You can see the problem happening at the website, just click on "blog"...

Custom Scroll Buttons With Dynamic Text Load
I have a dynamic text box called "news". I also have 2 custom scroll buttons on a different layer labeled "upbutton" and "downbutton".

I applied this action to my "news" text box:

scrollText = function (news) {
about.scroll += news;
};
upbutton.news = -1;
downbutton.news = 1;
upbutton.onRollOver = downbutton.onRollOver =function () {
scrollInt = setInterval (scrollText, 1000/24, this.news);
};
upbutton.onRollOut = downbutton.onRollOut =function () {
clearInterval (scrollInt);
};

What am I doing wrong? It wont scroll. The text I use is called from an external text file called news.txt

Any ideas? I attached my .FLA file and news.txt

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

Dynamic Text Loaded From A .txt File With A Scroll Bar
Hello, I've tried to do things the way the tutorial on Flash MX told me to load the dynamic text, but it seems I might be missing something. I have no idea what, or why this isn't working, but maybe someone can take a look at my .fla file and see if they can come up with a way to do things. What I'm looking to do is on frame 2 of the "site" scene, I want that text field to have a scrollbar, so i can make the text larger and easier to read. I would want to do this on a few other frames too, so if someone can let me know how to do this, it would be great. I would also like the "Treat text as HTML" option enabled as well.

P.S. I've tried to do this by taking the variable name away, and the scrollbar doesn't attach, i've tried making an entirely new field of dynamic, multiline text with nothing in it and placing the scroll bar in it and it didn't attach. I even tried it with static text and it wouldn't work! It's not like the component isn't working, I've done it when i just create a new file but for some reason it doesn't want to work with this .fla. Perhaps someone can tell me why? or What I can do?

The .fla file is located at http://www.daveking.ca/daveking.fla and i'm currently uploading it now. It's about 1.4 megs I believe.

Dynamic 'ticker' Text Scroll From A Txt File
I wanted to make a news ticker that scrolls from right to left across the bottom of the screen. I have looked in the movies section and still can't find what i want. Am i asking too much i wonder? I have attached what i have so far but there are two problems with it.

1) - If the text it is reading, is too long it will cut it off. the text will change so it has to be ready for almost any number of words

2) - It just seems to take long to first appear and between loops

3) - URLs don't seem to work even when i specify 'render as html text'

No Scroll Button If There Is Not Enough Text
Hi

I am loading a text file. When the file fits into the dynamic text box I do not want the scroll buttons to appear.

When there is an overflow, I would like the scroll buttons to appear

I think the solution has to do with figuring out many lines of text can appear before the overflow occurs. Just not sure how to write that.

Any help would be great

Thanks
