Flash :: ScrollPane.getValue Doesnt Work? Help

Scrollpane Scrollbars Doesnt Work Sometimes
hey all,

i have a scrollpane (flash 8) with a contentpath to one linkage mc

in that mc i attachMovieClips.. and set text fields.. (loaded from xml)

now sometimes the scrollbars off the scrollpane arent working and totaly disapeared.. and sometimes they are present?

why?

[UPDATE]
scrollpane.redraw(true);

does make it work.. for now..

Button Works, Doesnt Work, Works, Doesnt Work With Each Click
I have this code on a button

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("smokeleft");
}

that obviously takes the viewer to a frame labled "smokeleft". At that frame there is a stop action and a MC with an instance name of "smokeleftmc"

I've followed this procedure with two more buttons and MC's, smoke and smokeright.

If a button is clicked once, it works perfect. However, if the button is clicked a second time, BEFORE one of the other two buttons is clicked, the play head will not trigger the MC again, rather it will move forward one frame (I assume it would move forward more if there wasn't a stop action).

If the button is clicked once, then a second button is clicked, then the first button is clicked a second time, it works exactly as designed. The only time there is a problem is if one button is clicked twice in a row.

How do I solve this? Thanks

Scrollpane Doesnt Scroll
hi,
so ive got my empty scrollpane there and i am attaching movies to it with
_root.mainscrollpane.content_mc.attachMovie("item" ,"item_"+i,i+1);
_root.mainscrollpane.content_mc["item_"+i]._y=60*i;

(the number of the attached movies is dynamically from an xml.)

but the scrollpane doesnt become scrollable when there is more content than the height of the pane. it just stays like it used to be in the beginning.

is this normal? am i missing something?

ScrollPane Doesnt Load Swf :[ HELP
hi ppl,
ive got flash 8 and im makin a site. i made some sites before (not too advanced) and i used scrollpane as main content object:
there are buttons that load another swf into scrollpane (like news.swf etc).
before im pretty sure i used:

scrollpanename.content = "news.swf";

and it worked, but now when i made the main flash and put some buttons like News etc - i added script to each button:
note: the buttons are movie clips "symboled" to buttons

on (release) {
spl.content = "news.swf";
}

the scroll pane didnt changed its content - just left blank. tried to change script and use: spl.contentPath = "news.swf",
also tried to use spl.contentPath = "C:
ews.swf" (where i put news.swf) - to check that it works - IT DIDNT.
tried also to create scrollpane by usin command - and i succeed it - but it displayed content in horribly big dimensions, and i didnt like that method.

i guess there's maybe a problem with the name of scrollPane? actionscript cant localise the object or what? i named that scrollPane and even tried three times to change it (simultaneously changing the script) - but in every case it didnt work...

what the hell is goin on?

Scrollpane Doesnt Show Arrows Or Bar
I'm having a problem that only presents itself to a client on a certain computer (his, of course). with the scrollpane component, the scrollbar isn't showing at all, just in MSIE. So I set the vertical scroll policy as "on" instead of "auto", and now the client reports he sees the gray bar of the scrollbar, but the arrows don't show, and the content is unscrollable.

Anyone have any ideas?

ScrollPane Scrollbar Doesnt Appear At First Load
i have a problem with the scrollpane component, whenever the content is loaded for the first time the scrollbar doesnt appear, but if i refresh the page the bar appears..

additional information :
- the content path is set dynamically throught the action script
- the content is another swf flash file
- ive tried every method inside the scrollpane class, (refreshPane(), refresh() and redraw() ), ive put it in the frame actions and in the on(complete) event. but still same problem arrised.
- the main flash file that has the pane is embeded using java script embedtion as to avoid the security problems with ie7..

hope these information is useful to identify the problem, please if anyone encountered this similar problem and knows the solution tell me, or if some expert manages to identify the problem help would be appreciated :)..
thanks alot for reading it.

Why Doesnt This Work In MX
Ok i have this working when i pulblish to flash 5 player but when i do it for the flash 6 player it doesnt work.

Code:
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.input1") {
_root.input1 = "";
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.input2") {
_root.input2 = "";
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.input3") {
_root.input3 = "";

im trying to make a simple fade, for an image contained in placeholder_mc, here is the code im using, but i cant see why it is not working:

while (picalpha <100) {
setProperty(placeholder_mc, _alpha, picalpha + 5);
continue;
}
i initially use a getproperty line and set that as the picalpha,
shouldnt that just increment the alpha value by 5 until it reaches 100??
If u have any idea, please let me know, or another way i can make a simple alpha fade, thanks

Why Doesnt This Work?
I have a preloader function which reports the progress of a movieclip which is loading. In Internet explorer it works fine, however in mozilla firefox it doesnt. the number is reported back as NAN.

Can be seen at MI-7

my preloader function does this:

code: //create a new movieclip to load
//the external movie into
//check the download status of the external
//movie once every frame
function loaderFunction() {
_root.holderMc.hldMc.unloadMovie()
_root.holderMc.hldMc.removeMovieClip();
if (movieToLoad=="intro1.swf") { _root.opener_mc.gotoAndPlay(2) }
_root.holderMc.createEmptyMovieClip("hldMc", _root.holderMc.getNextHighestDepth())
//load the external movie into the new movieclip
_root.holderMc.hldMc.loadMovie(_global.serverAddre ss+_root.movieToLoad);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
//trace the percentage of the movie that has loaded
percent = (_root.holderMc.hldMc.getBytesLoaded()/_root.holderMc.hldMc.getBytesTotal())*100;
if (!isNan(percent)) {
trace(percent+"% loaded");
if (percent == 0) {
percent_display = "";
} else {
percent_display = Math.ceil(percent)+"% LOADED.";
}
this.loadbar._visible = true;
this.loadbar._xscale = percent;
if (percent>1) {
this.reelmc._visible = true;
}
} else {

}
if (percent == 100) {

delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.reelmc._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
this.loadbar._visible = false;
this.mi7Logo._visible = false;
}

}
}

It DOESNT WORK
I have a movie and within that movie i have other nested movies, maybe one or two.
I am trying to load pictures into the lowest movie clip.

the code is as follows:
stop();
my_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.onLoadComplete = function(movieClip) {
trace("Loading is done for the movie clip "+ movieClip);
};
my_mcl.onLoadError = function(movieClip) {
trace("Error: " + movieClip+ " did not load.");
trace("Your load failed for the movie clip "+ movieClip);
};

// Set up button actions
next_btn.onRelease = function(){
nextFrame();
}
prev_btn.onRelease = function(){
prevFrame();
}

my_mcl.loadClip("photos/me-illustrated.jpg","jpgHolder");
name = "bright blue water";

Its simple and its from a tutorials you can find anywhere on the web, but it doesnt seem to work when i try and put it into my movie. Whats the problem anyone know?

Why Doesnt This Work
Should be simple.

I am sending data from flash to an asp page that sends mail. The mail sends but has nothing in the body. It seems like my varuables are not being sent. Any help would be great.

code:
stop ();

function sendForm () {
my_lv = new LoadVars ();
my_lv.fcontact = _parent.contact_txt.text;
my_lv.fcompany = _parent.company_txt.text;
my_lv.fphone = _parent.phone_txt.text;
my_lv.fsender = _parent.sender_txt.text;
my_lv.finquiry = _parent.inquiry_txt.text;
my_lv.send ("http://www.tm-g.com/forminfo.asp", "POST");
gotoAndPlay(23);
}

send_btn.onRelease = function () {
if (contact_txt.text == "" || company_txt.text == "" || phone_txt.text == "" || sender_txt.text == "" || inquiry_txt.text == "") {
gotoAndStop(22);
} else {
sendForm ();
}
};

For Doesnt Work?
hi guys can anybody tell me why this doesnt work?
I try to display a text in a textfield, depending on which button is klicked.
The script creates as much buttons as the number of the xml Elements.

But i get this error each time I click a button:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MethodInfo-539()

can anybody help me? if I use a number instead of the "i" here:

ActionScript Code:
trace(dieXML.Sorte[i].Name);
textfield.text = dieXML.Sorte[i].Name;

it works.

Thanks a lot

ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Sorten.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var dieXML:XML = new XML();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fertigGeladen);
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, EIOError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);

function EIOError(myEvent:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("feehler");
}

function fertigGeladen(event:Event):void{
dieXML = new XML(event.target.data);
var SortenAnzahl:Number = dieXML.Sorte.length();

Why..why..why.. It Doesnt Work?
Hi everyone

can any one figure out what am I doing wrong, I have been working on this simple thing for 2 days now and I am getting nuts: what I am trying to do is to make paperblock appear when I press button1. when I press button 2 make paperblock2 appear and paperblock1 disappear

the stage : 2 buttons, 2 paper blocks (paperblock1 and paperblock2movie clips as ), movie clip called actions (off the stage for initialization purposes only).

I start by intializing (I created a special movie clip, named actions, that contains the code):

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.paperblock1._visible=false;
_root.paperblock2._visible=false;
var changer;
}
(Changes the paperblocks to invisible + define a variable named changer)

then I put inside button 1

on (release) {
_root.actions.changer = 1;
}

and inside button2

on (release) {
_root.actions.changer = 2;
}

then I put in paperblock1

onClipEvent (load) {
if (_root.actions.changer=1) {
_root.paperblock1._visible = true;
} else {
_root.paperblock1._visible = false;
}
}

and in paperblock2

onClipEvent (load) {
if (_root.actions.changer=2) {
_root.paperblock2._visible=true;
} else {
_root.paperblock2._visible=false;
}
}

Thanks

Ok, while learning flash8 -since i am a brand new flash user- i found a nice tutorial here in kirupa about hover caption.
(http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...r_captions.htm).
So i decided to change some stuff and put the entire thing inside of a movie clip. It works just half. Since i am able to create the text, but the background is not "following" the text. Its static.
Can anyone help?

Why Doesnt This Work?
hi, i'm trying to make this work, but I cant figure out why it wont do what i want...
I have two buttons and behind them is a movieclip with an outline. By default the outline is around the left button (mapMode_mc). I want to make it so, that if you click on cloudMode_mc the outline (kader_mc) slides to the right until it is around that mc. And then if you click on mapMode_mc it should slide back to the left. Here is the code I use in the timeline:

ActionScript Code:
var myInterval:Number;
cloudMode_mc.onRelease = function ():Void {
myInterval = setInterval (cloudMove, 20, "cloud");
};
mapMode_mc.onRelease = function ():Void {
myInterval = setInterval (cloudMove, 20, "map");
};
function cloudMove (direction:String):Void {
if (direction == "cloud") {
kader_mc._x = kader_mc._x + (cloudMode_mc._x - kader_mc._x - 5) / 20;
if (kader_mc._x == cloudMode_mc._x) {
clearInterval (myInterval);
}
} else if (direction == "map") {
kader_mc._x = kader_mc._x + (mapMode_mc._x - kader_mc._x - 5) / 20;
if (kader_mc._x == mapMode_mc._x) {
clearInterval (myInterval);
}
}
}

And it slides perfectly to the right and stops when kader_mc._x equals cloudMode_mc._x, but for some reason it won't slide all the way back.... It stops somewhere in the middle of mapMode_mc...

can someone help me out??!!

thanks!!!

Help Help, Why Doesnt This Work
I having a problem which shouldnt be a problem. I have a movieclip test_mc on my _root mc. I defined a function testing in test_mc and call it in _root by test_mc.testing(); . When I execute the file, the function does not execute. Its like flash cannot find the function to execute. It doesnt give an error by the trace in the testing function is not executed. I dont know if you cant call functions in movieclips in flash 8. Now i tried the same thing but importing an actionscript class as a linkage to test_mc. In my test.as file, i declared my testing function and that works just fun. My question is, the first approach should work. why is it not working.

In test_mc

function testing():Void
{
trace(" just enterd testing");
}

In _rot

test_mc.testing();

Loadingorder Doesnt Work :(
hi !

pls excuse my bad english
so here we go: i'm working on a presentation for a customer. there are some *.swf's which are loaded into _level1 of the mainmovie after each other during the presentation. the presentator will be able to define the loadingorder of the *.swf's by himself !
the script i use to reach this dont works properly, and i dont know why !
the *.swf's are loaded in, but the order that i or the presentator define isnt correct...

i would be happy, if you download my files and have a look what ive done wrong ! ---> http://people.freenet.de/odensack/arrays.zip
THANX !

cya
ZachariasZupf

p.s.
first you have to define your loadingorder -> for example: if you want to watch the 3rd movie first, you should type 1 in the textfield of the 3rd movie... to watch the 8th movie second, you should type 2 in the textfield of the 8th movie and so on

Hscroll Doesnt Work
I created a dynamic text box which loads the text variable CUSTOMERS into a single line text area, when i add the script to scroll it, it just blinks.

The CUSTOMERS variable is about 600+ chars long, i want it to scroll horizontally like a stock ticker, but it just blinks...

Any suggestions, I tried it two ways (im using FlashMX btw)

First way:

while (tick.hscroll < length(customers)) {
_root.tick.hscroll += 1;
}

No good, then i tried this:

var push = 1;
var listlen = length(customers);
while (push < listlen) {
push += 1;
tick.text = substring(customers, push, 30);
}

This is no good either, it loads the text, then just blinks...

I cant find any example of this anywhere, has anyone dealt with this?
