Scrollbar Problen In Flash MX (not 2004)
Hi,

I'm building a Flash GUI to an Access database to be distributed on CD-ROM. I've run into a problem on what I thought would be a simple operation - including a scrollbar component in a dynamic textfield.

The scrollbar and textfield are properly associated but the textfield has a variable name (so the contents of the relevant db field can be displayed) - I think this might be the problem but I can't see another way of getting the text from the db to the output screen.

I've searched relevant posts on this site (and found some interesting stuff) but can't find anything that addresses this - has anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance ...

Scrollbar Component In Flash 2004
I just upgraded to flash 2004. I tried to create scrollable text. However, there is no scrollbar in the components panel. Flash MX had a scrollbar component. Where did it go in flash 2004?

Flash MX 2004 - What Happened To The Scrollbar Component ?
Hi sup guys, downloaded the Flash MX 2004, I have no probs with it whatsoever, everything works fine, and I like the new features, especailly CSS and the new components... But after a short while of messing around in Flash MX 2004 (Standard) I noticed that the "very handy" scroll-bar component is gone ;o

Now just out of curiousity, but why in the world would they take it out ?!?!?? And why would they take it out in the first place, when they made it so simple to add scrollbars for their users ?!? Is it just me, or did they just get rid of something that was quite useful for flash ?

And lastly, the main reason why Im wondering this, is because it was really like the only component in Flash MX that I actually used on a regular basis, plus for the fact that people are now wondering in the "Flash MX Forum" what do now, that there is no simple component you could use for scroll-able text. Any solutions ??? Because from what I've seen, you can only code scroll-bars now !? Let me know if Im wrong.

Scrollbar In MX 2004 Pro
I am trying to set up a text box that scrolls vertically. I read some of the threads and saw that a common thing referred to is the scrollbar component. I have a scrollpane but no scrollbar in my component list. I am very new to this and have never used components before. Am I looking in the wrong place? What is scrollpane? Any help is appreciated.

Scrollbar UI In MX 2004
Hey guys, I've been playing around with my new version of Flash MX 2004 (Professional) and noticed something odd -- there's no Scrollbar UI anymore...

Anyone know what happened to it? More importantly, I liked it a lot and now don't know what to do. Any advice? Is it something that can be imported from MX?

Thanks!

Where's The Scrollbar Component? (2004)
I cant seem to find the scroll bar component in MX 2004..

what's the big idea?

2004 Components Where's The Scrollbar?
Hello,

I'm very familiar with Flash MX... I just started using MX 2004 Pro.

Anyway, I'm not too happy with it... I like Flash MX better for a lot of reasons, but that's another story.

My question is about the scrollbar component... where did it go? I used to enjoy adding a scrollbar to any type of text box (input/dynamic). Now I'm at a loss. I tried the text box component and the input component, but they only seem to work if you publish your movies with actionscript 2. I need to make my movies compatible with Flash Player 6.

Does anyone know if or where I could get the scrollbar component, or one similar? I checked out Macromedia Exchange and didn't see anything that looked like what I was looking for, although I could be wrong.

Thanks for your time.

TextArea Vs ScrollBar & Mx Vs MX 2004
Hello

Thanks in advance

[MX 2004] ScrollBar Now ScrollPane?
Checked the Components list in MX 2004 for the good old ScrollBar, and to my horror it wasnt there.

Has it been replaced by the ScrollPane? That component looks a bit weird, though (square in shape, hmm)..

Dynamic ScrollBar In 2004 Pro?
Hey there...I'm having more than a few problems with my dynamic text boxes in MX 2004 Pro. I can't find the ScrollBar component in the Library, and I thought that I heard that MX 2004 automatically inserted a scrollBar on dynamic text fields...or is this one of those things that got taken out of the Pro version, so that Developers can create their own? If so...that's fine, but I wish I'd known that.

Any ideas?

MX 2004 Scrollbar Component - Can't Set The Height
I have a simple input text field on the stage and have attached the MX 2004 UI scrollbar component to it. I resize the scrollbar component to match the box surrounding my input text area. Everything looks great. But when I publish the file, the scrollbar contracts to the size of the text field. how can I get the scrollbar to stay a certain size? I've tried scripting it as well:

myScrollBar.setSize(200);

That doesn't do Jack. What's the deal here?

Thanks for any help!

Scrollbar Component Unavailable In Mx 2004 So What Now?
Hi there,

I love your service and your tutorials..brilliant!

Your web site told me that scrollbar components are not included in mx 2004.

I did manage to find a scrollbar component from another flash file so I dropped it onto the text box but it's not doing anything. I'm hoping someone can look at quickly and tell me why it isn't working. I tried to send file but too big? is it possible to get one I can just edit?

I also notice that you don't use external text file for dynamic text.

thank you for your time,
rob

MX 2004 - Dynamically-attached Scrollbar
Hey kids,
Grabbed this script (sorta) from actionscript.org (turned it into a function and added some stuff). When it runs though, the scrollbar appears not sized, and just as a grey bar (no arrows or anything). It SHOULD be the same height as the textfield, and it should also, you know, scroll.. Something is definitely amiss... Can anyone help me out?

Oh, also I've got text loaded in from an XML file (working), so there's more text to scroll than shown in this function.
Thanks in advance!

Steve

Code:
function createPlaylist(w:Number, h:Number):Void {

//root_mc.playlist_txt.autoSize = "left";
//p_txt.selectable = false;
p_txt.html = true;

p_txt.wordWrap = true;
p_txt.border = true;

Flash MX 2004/2004 Pro - Bring Back The Old Undo - Petition To Macromedia
Many of you will know that the removal of the movie clip specific undo is causing us enless hassles and this isn't one of those features that we just get used to, this is a serious workflow hindrance.

We have been discussing in this in more detail here if you want to read more first http://webforums.macromedia.com/flas...hreadid=709486

I don't want this thread to become another discussion about it as it has already been done, but I do want to get a petition together of emails or names which we can send to macromedia or maybe they will take notice here, so If you feel the same way that I do then reply here.

Flash Scrollbar Instead Of Browser Scrollbar
Hi all,

What I want to do is replace the browser scrollbar with a flash one when the flash movie is larger than the browser, and I'm using 100% sizes.

I've seen this done, and even when you manually resize the window, the scrollbar adjusts. Any ideas on this? Any tuts? Thanks.

Decision -- Flash MX 2004 Or Flash MX 2004 Pro.
Hello everyone. I am new to programming period, and to the Flash enviroment. I am currently training myself on actionscript 2.0. I am also training myself on Flash MX 2004. Now that I have made you aware of my lack of knowledge I will continue with the main question.

I need help with a decision, and that is which version of Flash to purchase. Flash MX 2004 or Flash MX 2004 Pro?

Flash MX 2004, Flash MX 2004 Pro Or MX Studio
Hi,

I am still on the 30 days trial with Flash MX 2004 and I wonder what would be the best choice for me when I go on buying it. Should I buy Flash MX 2004, Flash MX 2004 Pro or MX Studio. I want to create animations and games for my web site. I wonder if the other softwares of the MX Studio would really be useful. I already own Photoshop so I guess Firework would be of no use. Is there other softwares that I may need to create animations and games?

Thanks,

Richard

Flash MX 2004 Vs. Flash MX 2004 Professional
Hello all,

I have a question. I've been using Flash MX 2004 Professional at work for a couple of Flash movies that I put on the Optim Electronics website. Now, since I put up a Flash examples page that has examples of various Flash techniques, I would like to show my supervisor what Flash is capable of doing. However, you can only download the Flash MX and MX 2004 versions of the Flash source files at the Flash Downloads web page. Will Flash MX 2004 have problems opening the Flash MX 2004 file?

Thanks in advance,

How Do You Convert Flash Mx Pro 2004 To Flash Mx 2004
I bought some flash templates the work with flash mx 2004 but not the pro version. So now I need to use flash mx 2004. I tried uninstalling and deleting the registry, then installing again, but I dont get the option to choose anymore.

Flash MX 2004 Professional > Flash MX 2004?
I'm looking to buy one of Macromedia's products within the next few days. Problem is, I'm not sure which to buy. This question is aimed at Disjuku (remember me? ) in particular, since Disjuku visited a site mentioned in my previous post. (The site is http://www.square-enix-usa.com/seui/index.htm - you'd have to register (don't worry, it's free) to see what I'm talking about. Go to "ONLINE GUIDES" then "FINAL FANTASY X".) OK, so what is Macromedia's best product to create this site that was obviously created using Flash? Flash MX 2004 seems obvious, but I don't know if Flash MX 2004 Professional is worth the extra money. (By the way, Studio MX 2004 is a little (well, waaay) out of my price range). Anybody have helpful solutions? Thanks.

Scrollbar Problem - How To Load Text And Have The Scrollbar Default To Bottom Onload?
Hi,

I am currently working on a project whereby I need to display text in a scrollable area that refreshes every 2 seconds. I have the text loading ok but there is some extra functionality that I require.

At the moment I have a PHP application that uploads text files and adds the latest comment to the end of each text file. If you open the text file you can see the older comments at the top and the latest comments at the end. In the flash movie, I need the text file to load and the scrollbar to default to the bottom of the flash movie - that way, the latest comments will appear at the bottom of the screen and you can scroll up to the older comments.

I am not sure how to do this as I have just used the built in Flash components to get what I have so far.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin
