Flash :: Scrollbar Won't Show Up Once .swf File Is Online

Scrollbar Won't Show Up Once .swf Is Online
i have a UIScrollBar set to a dynamic text field that loads an external .htm file.
in test movie mode, everything works fine. even when i publish it and open the .swf file offline, the scrollbar appears and works as it should.

but i just uploaded it to my site, and everything is there, except for the scrollbar. i still see the silver streak that looks like the scollbar background, but the arrows and track and well, the scrollbar ingredients don't show up. it didn't show up at all yesterday, then today the scrollbar appears, but only sometimes. when it doesn't, if i refresh the page a few times, then it'll usually appear.

here's a link directly to the page in question:
http://www.calrockx.com/etc/temp/pismo4rj3/
it's the "trip info" page that's the shows the problem.

also, i uploaded it here just to see how it'd work on another site, and for some reason the scrollbar has better luck here -

but it still won't show up everytime.

i'm using flash mx 2004.

help please!

Hide/show Scrollbar With Dynamically Loaded Text From A .txt File.
hi,

i've been trying to figure out how to hide and show the scrollbar component with dynamically loaded text depending on whether the text overflows or not.

the problem i am having is that TextField.maxscroll keeps returning 1 because it is being performed before the text is loaded into the textfield. here is the code i am working with:

loadVariables("copy.txt", this);
scrollbar._visible = (text.maxscroll > 1);

how can i solve this?

Don't Know Why Text Will Not Show Online
I have got a perfectly working (offline) movie and I wondered why the dynamic content will not show online.
I have a dragable menu and I have frames that have my content on. My menu is a movie clip. I tried to have the dynamic text box on the frame that I want it to view the content but now it only works offline.

my code is :
--------
on (press) {
_root.MS.scroll = _root.MS.scroll-total;
loadVariablesNum("Me.txt", 0);
}
-------

Is there anything that I need to change?

Help would be very much accepted and appreciated.
If this message is better off somewhere else I am sorry if i have put it in the wrong place!

Scrollbar Not Showing When Online
Hi all,

I have a problem that seems to be quite common, yet seems to solved rarely (as far as I'm aware).

I have a flash website I have developed with the use of UI Scroll bars on dynamic text. I have customised the visual style of them to fit the style of my site.

Everything works fine when viewed off-line on my HD. However once I have uploaded the site, the scroll bars fail to load/appear when I visit the site. The odd thing is, is that if you visit another page and return home, the scroll bars appear.

I have searched this and other forums and have found people with the same problem, but no-one seems to have a definate answer. If this could be solved simply, it would definately be a sticky for newbie component users like myself.

I have a theory that the scrollbar is loaded before the dynamic text is, thus saying to itself, "no text, no display". However after a refresh, the text is loaded into the cache, thus allowing the scrollbar to recognise the text and display.

The problem with my theory is that I don't know how to implement it. I'm not exactly an actionscript or component guru so I would appreciate any help on this.

My theory may completely rubbish as well, so feel free to offer any oppinions.

cheers

Scrollbar Component Not Working Online
I am using a scrollbar component on a dynamic text field that loads a .txt file with some .htm embedded in it. All works fine locally, but when I upload to the server, the scrollbar does not work. I tried uploading to two different servers and no luck. What could be the problem?

Flash Uses XML File To Show Pics - Can I Randomize The Show Order?
I'm playing around with a flash template at the moment which uses an external XML file to display pictures in a flash frame. The file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <images>
- <pic>
<image>home/jpg/image6.jpg</image>
<myURL>http://www.yahoo.com</myURL>
</pic>
- <pic>
<image>home/jpg/image5.jpg</image>
<myURL>http://www.google.com</myURL>
</pic>
- <pic>
<image>home/jpg/image1.jpg</image>
<myURL>http://www.lycos.com</myURL>
</pic>
</images>
So in this case the site displays image6, then image5, then image1 - Can I do something to the XML to make them display in a random order instead of the list order?

Thanks

Show And Hide ScrollBar
Hi there!

How could I show and hide the ScrollBar attached to a dynamic text field depending on the size of the displayed text?
I tried different solutions based on bottomScroll and maxcroll but nothing works...

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Show/Hide Scrollbar
Hi all,

1. I've downloaded the Source for MX included in the "Hide/View the Scrollbar Component" page of kirupa.com. It simply doesn't work when I open the file and publish it. I'm using Flash MX 2004, ... has anyone experienced the same problem and solved it?

2. I've been able to set the scroll visibility with an external dynamic text using several procedures. One of them is:SB1.setScrollTarget(_root.Texto1);
if (Texto1.maxscroll > 1) {
SB1._visible = true;
};

Were SB1 is the scrollbar instance, and Texto1 the dynamic text instance.
All works fine in my PC, but it doesn't work when I load it in the server (the scrollbar cannot be visualized).

Does anyone know if there's a bug or a rational explanation for this problem?
Thank you in advance,
Fernando

Text Scrollbar, Show Only When Needed, Is It Possible?
Hi,

I have a flash movies which dynamically loads text from external txt files, and all that works fine. my issue is that some of the text files might have just a bit of text, and some of them have a LOT of text. so I needed to add a scrollbar to the text field to show it all for the large cases. however, i would like it to dissappear when there is no overflowing text. because it looks bad to have a scrollbar when there's just a line or two of text.

I have looked around for a component to do this with no luck... i can't figure out how to program a check for this in actionscript, so if anyone has a solution, or a component that would do this please let me know!

I don't know much about how components work exactly, but i do know that when there is no overflowing text it usually makes that middle "drag bar" go away on the scroller, so if i can find that check, and just make the whole scrollbar invisible (when the drage bar does not show) it would be a solution, but the default flash components are pretty complicated to look into and i could not figure out how to do it.

Hello;

I have a movie I am trying to stream from a flv file. It works fine on my desktop but does not seem to work when I have it online. I have a broadband connection. The movie clip is 4:58 seconds long and about 8MB.

Any help would be great.

Swf File Doesn't Play Online
Ok, well I finished my first flash layout using Flash MX 2004...it's going to be used on my myspace. The problem is the file won't play online/on a website when I upload it. I've tried uploading it to photobucket, imageshack, and another site that another user was using for swf files and it won't play on any of them. The only thing that works when the swf is uploaded, is the buttons that only have links on them. The buttons that use the external swfs, don't load when clicked.

Everything works fine when I test the layout using swf and html using flash, but after uploading it online, it doesn't work.

Now on myspace to use flash you have to use div overlay so this is what I'm using below including the embed, I don't know if this will help anything but it's below:
Quote:

<div style="position:absolute; top:120px; left: 40%; margin-left: -278 ; height: 3000px ; width: 800px; text-align:center; overflow:none; border:none; background-color: black;">

<embed src="http://users.cjb.net/dlink/myspacelayout1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="750"></embed>

So, does anyone know how I can get it to work online?

I appreciate any help thanks.

Online Editing Of A Text File?
Hi all

I'm using Flash 5, I'm fairly proficient with the 'design' side of things but know NOTHING about CMS et al.

Is there a way I can provide a login so users of a site can edit a text file online?

I'd like the solution to be simple (like me) rather than beautiful. I have a swf that reads my txt file.

Thanks all.

Unpredictability When Loading SWF File For Online Training
Last year I built an online course for a client that includes linked video and connects to an LMS/database upon login. The course has been online for 9 months or so and has been relatively successful, but users are continually having intermittent problems with the course loading. After logging in, some users complain that the course either doesn’t load or loads and then never connects to the database/launches.

Here are the course specs:

SWF file – 5.3 MB
Linked FLVs – 85 videos, total of 507.5 MB, FLV sizes range from 1 to 20 MB

Course files are located on a shared server.

Does anyone have input on what could be causing these loading problems?

Let me know if you need more information about the details or course configuration.

Thanks!

.swf File In Popup Window Online Not Playing?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me as to why a simple _root level .swf file that loads others into levels above it will not load or play in an html page that is online?

Here is the kicker!

The series of files that I have play just fine locally on multiple machines, but once I upload the entire set including the html page that corresponds with it. The _root level file dies and does not load anything at all.

All I get is a blank html page??? I am a little

Thanks for the help in advance...

Online DB Interaction From Offline Projector File?
hey guys,
happy halloween! I am doing some research about the possiblity of accessing an online db from a projector file. I was wondering if there is a way to have a projector file write information to a webdna database? More importantly, is there a way to store or send information regarding sections of the projector movie a user has accessed? Any help or direction would be great. thanks!!

Unpredictability When Loading SWF File For Online Training
Last year I built an online course for a client that includes linked video and connects to an LMS/database upon login. The course has been online for 9 months or so and has been relatively successful, but users are continually having intermittent problems with the course loading. After logging in, some users complain that the course either doesn't load or loads and then never connects to the database/launches.

Here are the course specs:

SWF file – 5.3 MB
Linked FLVs – 85 videos, total of 507.5 MB, FLV sizes range from 1 to 20 MB

Course files are located on a shared server.

Does anyone have input on what could be causing these loading problems?

Let me know if you need more information about the details or course configuration.

Thanks!

MovieClipLoader Disabled When File Plays Online?
hi everyone. Thanks to several forum members suggestions, i now have a parent flash file that uses the MovieClipLoader class to load external swfs as they are needed. Everything works smashingly when played locally, including when i fire up the parent flash html file. However, when I loaded the files onto a server and go the site online, the file no longer works correctly.

i have it loaded here:

http://www.hanlonarchitects.com/hanlona ... /home.html

I think what is going on is that the MovieClipLoader is not being allowed to fire due to some security settings somewhere.

The first error in playback occurs after the text that intially loads has faded and a preloader appears. Locally, the preloader functions correctly, and an image is loaded in the space that the crosshairs mark (this is all within the parent swf).

A second error occurs after the first thumbnail in the scrolling panel is released. A swf file that contains the information for that project loads, but images inside it that are also activated using the MovieClipLoader class will not load (this all occurs within a child swf).

In both these cases it seems that the browser has a problem using MovieClipLoader within another loaded movie. Again, this kind of leads me to believe that it is a security issue, but i'm definitely not 100% on that...

thanks for taking a look!
