Linking Text Buttons In Scroll To Image Outside Scroll Area
Hi,
I am desperately hitting my head against a brick wall - so please help me!

I have created a flash area that is divided up with an image on top and a scroll area under.

I am trying to get the text buttons in the scroll area to each change the image above and cant seem to get it to work because of the masking.

I have tried heaps and heaps of different ways and am going crazy!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

thanks,

Text + Image Scroll Function With Scroll Bar. Help

Please help

Scroll Panel Text
I am trying to get text to load into text fields in a movie clip, that is used inside a scroll panel.

Here is the setup..
(In Movie Clip: Menu2)
Frame 2:
There is a button called Wine. When it is clicked it loads variables from a text file "wine.txt" and it moves to Frame 10 where there are two text boxes; one that displays the variable "name" and the other displays the variable "date"
Below the text fields is a scroll panel that uses a movie clip called "ListBG"

(Movie Clip: ListBG)
It is a blue background with 3 text boxes, with black lines in between. This is so i can have a long scrollable list, of
Name--------Sale Price-----Regular Price

Each text box uses a variable like LNS, LSP, LRP

Now the problem...

In my loadVariable() statement... how should i get the information into this movie clip?

Since the ListBG is loaded through the scroll panel from the libary and is no where else on the stage.. i dont know how to send the information from a text file into the text boxes in ListBG...

Thank you so much!
God Bless you.

Making Scroll Panel For A Lot Text
First let me say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone for all of your help over the months and months. I finally built my first entire swish site and got over the fear of placing it on the internet.

Now I need help trying to figure out how to make a scroll window for a very long text. I've already figured out how to make the text move, up and down when placing your pointer on the text but I still can't figure out how to first of all make a scroll bar and then how to place all of my text in the window only having the rest of the text seen when scrolling. As of right now all of my text is showing, running straight through the window that I made all the way to the bottom. Can anyone help? I can send my file to someone if needed so I can learn how to do it, after they actually fixed my scroll panel correctly.

Please take a look at my first swish site and yes I realized I have a type-o, I'll will fix when I get home. Thank you to everyone, it has taken me 8 months to finally figure this much out. www.cindesign.com

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

Scroll Panel Help....PLEASE HELP.
Can somebody have a look at this link....go to the bags section....and test the scrolling gallery...it was done using a great tutorial. When previewed the gallery scroll works perfectly...or did work perfectly.....now as you will see it seems to stick and jerk at certain points....any ideas?

The scroll is a seperate .swf which is loaded into a loader_mc in the origainl .swf (basic shell based navigation)...when I preview the scroll.swf alone it wors perfectly...how ever when it is loaded into the shell.swf loader_mc it starts to jerk.....

I think this may have something to do with the position which it is loaded into i.e off centre and therefore this is throwing of the code for the scroll function.....any suggestions??

http://www.prbags.com

Below is actionscript for the scroll.swf:

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver(){
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel(){
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax){
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
if(panel._x >= 113) {
panel._x = 113;
}
if(panel._x <= -485) {
panel._x = -485;
}
var xdist = _xmouse - 300;
panel._x += -xdist / 7;
}

And the code for the frame action of shell.swf:

onLoad = function(){
_root.shell.loader_mc.loadMovie("about.swf");
}
//import flash.display.BitmapData;
shell._x = Stage.width /2;
shell._y = Stage.height /2;
/*var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap ("tile");
function fillBG() {

this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.moveTo(0,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,0);
this.endFill;
}
fillBG(); */
var stageL:Object = new Object();
stageL.onResize = function(){
fillBG();
shell._x = Stage.width /2;
shell._y = Stage.height /2;
}
Stage.addListener(stageL);

And this is the code for the frame action within the shell movie clip:

about.onRelease = function(){
loader_mc.loadMovie("about.swf");
}

bags.onRelease = function(){
loader_mc.loadMovie("bags.swf");
}
contact.onRelease = function(){
loader_mc.loadMovie("contact.swf");
}

PLEASE HELP>>>>>sorry i know its alot.

Help With Scroll Panel
Hi all,
Can someone please help me with the scrolling panel tutorial?
I have completed the tutorial and it all works correctly. The scroll is smooth, and the mouseover produces a more coloured version of the button/pic.

I need to export the scroll.swf and import it into my mainpage.swf. And I've done this with "this.loadMovie('scroll.swf')". However the problem is that now when the scrolling is kind of blocky, and the buttonover state doesnt work too well.

Here is a link to show how it doesnt work...http://tbone1.awardspace.com/mainpage.html
And here is a link to show how it works on its ownhttp://tbone1.awardspace.com/scroll.swf

And here is the actionscript from the scroll.swf file
Code:

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
   this.onRollOver = panelOver;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if(panel._y >= 121) {
   panel._y = 121;
}

if(panel._y <= -5) {
panel._y = -5;
}

var ydist = _ymouse - 220;

panel._y += -ydist / 10;
}
Has anybody got any ideas why this doesnt work or how to fix it?
Thanks

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.

SCROLL PANEL Question
I am trying to do the following. I have set of the buttons on the left. I want to set up a scroll panel on the right and make it so "on the press" of a different button it would display a different content in the scroll panel. Is that possible? Content in the scroll panel can be taken from an HTML file or can be a movie clip in the Flash file.

Can you please help me to figure this out?

Scroll Panel Question
hey

i am still in the womb here but yesterday i followed a tutorial and was able to convert gifs to buttons, then use those buttons in a scrolling panel..which will be very useful for a site i am building... except... i need each of those individual thumbnail buttons that i place in the panel to link to an html page when i pop this into dreamweaver. i have the site set up in frames and it is image intensive thus the need for scrolling thumbnails....to link to bigger images that come up in another frame. i know how to use static thumnails and have them link in the frames. i have that set up..but this panel would solve a lot of real estate probs for me.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help With Lee's Scroll Panel Tutorial..
I have followed the Tutorial to a Tee, only difference is my stage size, and my thumbnail sizes. That's it.
http://redolent.net/stuff/gallery_lina.html that's the file right there, and here's my fla file..
http://redolent.net/stuff/gallery_lina.fla.

My issue with this tutorial isn't until the end part of it where you have to make it so that it doesn't scroll forever to the left and then forever to the right. I can't get it to stop. It just keeps scrolling on forever.
Here's my code:
Code:

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollover;
}
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if (_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
   this.onRollOver = panelOver;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
if (panel._x>= 677) {
   panel._x = 677;
}
if (panel._x<=-15) {
   panel._x = -15;
}

var xdist = _xmouse-333;
panel._x += -xdist/7;
}

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..help please..

Someone Please Help Me... Scroll Panel With Preloader
My page uses a scroll panel like the one lee has done, what type of preloader can I use with this?? as everytime I move the content from frame 1 the scroll panel fails to work.

How can I get around this?

Thanks

Sticky Scroll Panel
I have a website that uses a scroll bar like the one Lee did in his tutorial a while back.

You can see the page here: (click on tranquility mattresses)
http://www.idahobeds.co.uk/home.html

The swf that contains the panel is loaded into the main swf and this is where the problem comes from. With the help of this forum I modified the code to get the panel working but its still sticky and sometimes it just doesn't spring into life properly.

If I access the swf on its own (without loading into the main swf) it scrolls fine.

Is there any way I can improve this?

My code currently looks like this:-

Thanks

Code:

stop();

//Scrolling Panel Actions
var home:MovieClip = panelStroke_mc;
//Scrolling Panel Actions
panelMovie_mc.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = panelStroke_mc.getBounds(home);

function scrollPanel() {
if(home._xmouse<b.xMin || home._xmouse>b.xMax || home. _ymouse<b.yMin || home. _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
var xdist = _xmouse -333;
panelMovie_mc._x += -xdist / 18;
if(panelMovie_mc._x >= -190) {
panelMovie_mc._x = -190;
}
if(panelMovie_mc._x <= -827) {
panelMovie_mc._x = -827;
}

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.

Is this possible?

Buttons Not Working In Scroll Panel...
Hello,

Am using Flash 8, and am still quite new to flash in general, however I thought this question was better for here rather than the newbie section....

I have created a scrolling button thumbnail bar. The buttons don't work ... I presume this is because they are within a movie clip? I used some action scripting from a tutorial which I somewhat understand but am too new to actionscript to know what to do/alter. I think I'm a bit over my head with this... Here is the script I am using....

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver () {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b =stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

if(panel._y >= -40) {
panel._y = -40;
}

if(panel._y <= -2136) {
panel._y = -2136;
}

var ydist = _ymouse - 146.55;

panel._y += -ydist / 7;

}

Anyway, if you have any suggestions, comments, or even if you could direct me to some other, perhaps simpler tutorials for scrolling panels with usable buttons, I would really, really appreciate it!

Thank you in advance,

franny

Flash 2004 MX Scroll Panel Help
I am using the scroll Panel component from 2004 MX and it seems that sometimes the scroll panel spills out the text and the actual scroll bar is gone. It seems to only happen when I look at the site on a PC. IT does not happen very often but it happens. What can I do to prevent the text from spilling over??

Please help Attached is a jpg of waht i am talking aobut.

Simple Scroll Panel Problem
I am using a scroll pane instance in which I am loading an external swf.
When I test the movie from within the Flash MX program it works fine.. but when I export it and try to use it outside the Flash program it exhibits an oddness...
Where the scroll pane ends on top and bottom, the external clip I loaded should lose visibility oursite the viewable scrollpane area... and it does so within the test movie function of the main flash program. But on its own outside the program, the scroll works but the entire external swf image is now viewable ..although it can be scrolled.. it does not hide what is outside the pane area....

What am I doing wrong?

Want A Challenge? A Scroll Panel Inside A Mc, Fix
Here's the site: http://www.clay.bellmor.com/PFC
Here's the fla: http://www.clay.bellmor.com/PFC/resized.fla

I have a couple things going on in my movie that's not working correctly.

the main problem is that I have a drawer that has a tooltip. When the drawer is clicked a thumbnail panel comes out of it. Problem is that since the panel is inside the drawer mc, the tooltip is attached to it and it won't scroll.

I hope someone can figure it out, I'm new to Flash and I'm quite lost.

Keep in mind that the panel will also be placed inside three other drawers, which is why i figured i would nest it inside the drawer in the first place.

good luck and thank you!
