Flash :: Scrolling Through Text With Mouse Wheels

Text Scrolling & Mouse Button
Hi, can anyone tell me how to change my text scrolling buttons so the text scrolls when the button is held down, currently I can only get it to scroll down one click at a time.

The code Ive got for the scrolling buttons is:

Up Button

on (press) {
this.news_txt.scroll -= 1;
}

Down Button

on (press) {
this.news_txt.scroll += 1;
}

Is it surely possible to add some additional actionscript to this to get the text to scroll when the mouse button is held down?

Thanks

Lyle

Scrolling Text With Mouse Issues
Hi- new to the forum/flash and having problems with a custom scroll bar.

Website: click on Why Choose Us (it takes a second to load)

I would like the mouse on a PC to scroll the text the same way as the scrollball does when you click it and drag up and down on the scrollbar. Right now the text and scrollball move in the right direction when you mouse scroll but they do not stop and they do not move at the right speed to each other.

Any ideas? It's driving me nuts so any help is appreciated.

The text is not dynamic and just has a mask over it.

Code:
var scrollUpper:Number = 148.5;
var scrollLower:Number = 352.4;

var textLower:Number = 148;
var textUpper:Number = -129;

var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower-scrollUpper;
var textRange:Number = textLower-textUpper;

function scroll() {
var moved:Number = scrollball._y-scrollUpper;
var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
aucontent._y = textLower-textMove;
}

scrollball.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false, this._x, scrollUpper, this._x, scrollLower);
this.onMouseMove = scroll;
};
scrollball.onRelease = scrollball.onReleaseOutside=function () {
this.stopDrag();
this.onMouseMove = null; z
}

Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
aucontent._y += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
scrollball._y -= delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
Thanks!!

Scrolling Text With A Mouse Scroll Wheel
Is it possible to scroll text in Flash with a mouse scroll wheel? If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is the wheel between the two mouse buttons found on PCs.

If you've done this, please give me some direction. How is it done? Is there an FLA somewhere? Etc.

Thanks in advance.

Rotating Wheels
Hey,

I drew this picture in flash and now i want to know what the best way of rotating the wheels would be.

Its all draw on the same layer and the wheels are not seperate symbols at the moment. Would it be best just to cut the wheels out and draw in the hidden parts (parts that are covered by the exhaust etc) and use them like that?

thanks

edit/ forgot to include the picture lol, here it is...

Spinning Wheels
I have a banner, and on this banner there are three wheels which spin continuously by way of motion tweens.

What I want to do is have them stop spinning for a few seconds and then continue spinning, this process will be repeated every time.

So my question is: How would I accomplish this?

I know I could just add a bunch of frames to stop the wheels from spinning, but I was wondering if there's a script that will do this without having to add frames.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wheels SPin?
I just made a car in Flashmx, actually in illustrator and then I imported it as an swf frame in flash. NOw im trying to make it seem like the wheels are moving. The LEft and right wheel are on a seperate layer. I was able to make the wheels seem like they were spinning on a motion tween from a rotation. But that was only when it stood still. Now im trying to make the whole entire car seem like its moving. I tried to change the postion of the wheel at each keyframe. It was good until i saw that the wheel stop spinning. How come? I even tried to make the wheel into a movie symbol and making it spin in the movie and have the wheels move out side of the movie clip (wheels).

Does anybody know how to resolve this?

Preloader Hell On Wheels
hi flashers

i have a problem but i'm not sure how dificult it is as i thought i understood preloaders. okay. i have a master swf that has a preloader at the beginning that preloads this swf perfectly... but what it doesn't do istake into account an swf that i pull into this main swf... i can't have a preloader on the external as the transition between the two is supposed to be seemless... is there a way that the main preloader at the beginning of my main swf can take into account the size of the external swf aswell?

hope that this explains my situation.. . any ideas of example would be great

Wheels Running Over An Irregular Shape.
Hi Flash Geniuses!

I wish somebody could help me with my problem regarding a Wheel MC that runs over an irregularly shaped surface. Controlling Wheel MC to run in a smooth, horizaontal surface is very easy because its surface is fixed. But how about controlling an MC to roll over an irregularly shaped MC (Example, a slope). Is there an easy method doing it? Or I must look back at my Maths and work with a very deep programming? I hope somebody out there could help me with this. Thanks!

How Do I Create?: Scrolling Image Stops On Mouse Over-starts On Mouse Off
I’m trying to create this animation:

I have an long rectangular image (with more images going across it) scrolling FROM the right side of the screen to the left (very slowly). similar to a ticker.

I want the scrolling to stop when the viewer mouses over the menu strip. If they press on the image that they have just moused over, I have a movie clip I want to play for that image (a few images pop up, one bigger than the other). When the viewer mouses off, the movie clip disappears, and the menu continues scrolling to the left, from the right.

Greatly appreciated!!

Using Flash Scrolling Text Box To Create Scrolling Schedule
Hi All,

For work, I'm creating a PowerPoint presentation which needs to include a really long schedule. I wanted this schedule to crawl up the screen. I thought of doing this part in Flash and inserting it into the PPT. Has anyone had luck with this sort of thing using PPT and Flash? Is there a better strategy. I have CS3 Web and Production and will be doing this portion of the project this weekend and thought I'd ask some pros. Is there another CS3 product that might be better. I am more Familiar with After Effects but haven't used it for anything quite like this before.

Thanks!

Hello -

I am trying to make a Movie Clip (MC) move when the user activates one of four buttons (up/down left/right). I need the user to Mouse Over a button to activate a smooth scroll... Let's say the MC should move 40px every 20 miliseconds in the correct direction.

I am having a terible time figuring out a Loop that will Start on mouse over and stop on the mouse out.

Any bright ideas?

Thanks so much!

Mouse Scrolling
I was curious if it is possible to scroll a text box made in a flash movie with the wheels on your mouse. The thing is, I am creating a flash presentation that will not be used on the web. It would be nicer for the customer to be able to scoll the text box I have with their mouse, rather than push on the little arrow. Any ideas? THanks.

Scrolling Upon Mouse Over
This is probably pretty simple but I have very limited experience with Flash.

What I need to do is this:

I have an image, on either side of the image will be a button. To scroll the image to the left you mouse over the left button. To scroll to the right you mouse over the right button. When you aren't mousing over either button the image is stationary.

I also need to mask the image so only a certain portion of the image is viewable.

I was digging around in the tutorials but couldn't find anything that meets exactly what I'm trying to do.... anyone have a tutorial or a detailed explanation for an inexperienced user?

Scrolling With Mouse
hi, i have this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x<=40 and this._x>=-800) {
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);
// Calculates the distance between the movie clip and the mouse
_root.xChange = Math.round(_root._xmouse-365);
// Calculates the distance between the movie clip and the mouse
_root.yMove = Math.round(_root.yChange/20);
// Determines the amount the movie clip should move toward the mouse, grows larger the further the mouse gets from the MC
_root.xMove = Math.round(_root.xChange/20);
// See above
this._x -= _root.xMove;
}
if (this._x>=40) {
this._x = 30;
}
if (this._x<=-800) {
this._x = -780;
}
}

at the moment, the movie clip moves so it reveals more in that direction and when it gets to a certain point it stops and moves the movieclip back inside the boundaries.
the problem is that as it comes to the ends/boundaries it flickers (once it is placed back inside the boundary it starts scrolling again and then keeps jumping back again)

how can i stop this?
is there a better way to script this?

thanks

Mouse Sensitive Scrolling
Can anyone help me find a tutorial or tell me how this particular scrolling was achieved. I have seen it only a few times and the tutorials on it only describe the basics not the technical. The scrollbar in question is at http://www.subzero.com/ at the very bottom of the page. The scroll bar only responds to a measured amount of movement and then stops. Others I have found keep going... Thanks ahead of time.

Scrolling By Mouse Position
Let's say I have a horizontal image that I want the user to be able to scroll through based on the mouse position.

For example, if the mouse is on the left part of the menu, the mene will scroll left (and vice versa). Many sites have menus like this, including the Macromedia site, so I presume it's fairly basic.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, or at least point me in the right direction? I gather it has something to do with the mouse x/y position on the screen.

Thanks in advance.

Enlarging A Scrolling MC On Mouse Over
I have created a continuous scrolling image bar with several MCs as the pictures. I placed all the MCs in a single frame and used this AS to get them to scroll -

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {// movie clip enterframe event
_x=_x+3;// change position for each enterframe event
if(_x>=270){// condition
_x=-735;// if condition true movie clip jumps to starting position
}
}

What I want to do now is enlarge each MC by 50% when the mouse rolls over each one.

Anyone know how I can do this?

I did create a button in a new layer for each MC so when the mouse rolled over the scrolling image, a larger one appeared covering this smaller image. This did work but when I did this for the image next to it, the image was overlapping the scrolling ones, therefore partly blocking some of it. I tried re-arranging the layers and arranging them to the front or back but this did not work. I have attached what I have done but only done the roll overs on the sunset and fish image next to it, just to show what is happening.

Any help would be appriciated as I need to get this done the weekend.

Thanks

I've seen this on other sites, where the mouse's location determines the direction and speed of the scrolling. Any help with the actionscript?

Scrolling Image Using The Mouse
Hiya guys,

I want to scroll an image using the mouse x and y postion but am finding it hard to find a tutorial on this.

I found this fla (attached) which does the kinda thing I want but I dont fully understand the code, which will make moving the image on the stage really hard.

Here's the code from the fla...

PHP Code:

//variable for the image instance path (symbol: reef_graphic, instance: img)
varimg = _root.img

//variable for the background instance path (symbol: background, instance: bgd)
varbgd = _root.bgd

//speed of the mouse scroll (between 0 and 1)
v=0.2

//mouse position in varbgd
mousex = varbgd._xmouse;
mousey = varbgd._ymouse;

//image position in varimg
imgx = getProperty(varimg, _x);
imgy = getProperty(varimg, _y);

//distance fom the center to the left, right, top and bottom side
left = getProperty(varimg,_width) / 2
right = (getProperty(varimg,_width) / (-2)) + (getProperty(varbgd,_width))
top = getProperty(varimg,_height) / 2
bottom =  (getProperty(varimg,_height) / (-2)) + (getProperty(varbgd,_height))

//scrolling of the image
setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v)));
setProperty (varimg, _y, (imgy+(mousey*v)));

//stop the image on the horizontal side
//left
if  (getProperty(varimg, _x) >= left) {
    if (mousex > 0) {
        mousex = 0
        setProperty(varimg, _x, left); }
    else if (mousex < 0) {
        mousex = varbgd._xmouse ;
        setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v))); }
}
//right
if (getProperty(varimg, _x) <= right) {
    if (mousex < 0) {
        mousex = 0
        setProperty(varimg, _x, right); }
    else if (mousex > 0) {
        mousex = varbgd._xmouse ;
        setProperty (varimg, _x, (imgx+(mousex*v))); }
}

//stop the image on the vertical side
//top
if (getProperty(varimg, _y) >= top) {
    if (mousey > 0) {
        mousey = 0 ;
        setProperty(varimg, _y, top); }
    else if (mousey < 0) {
        mousey = varbgd._ymouse;
        setProperty(varimg, _y, (imgy+(mousey*v)));}
}
//bottom
if (getProperty(varimg, _y) <= bottom) {
    if (mousey < 0) {
        mousey = 0 ;
        setProperty (varimg, _y , bottom); }
    else if (mousey >10) {
        mousey = varbgd._ymouse;
        setProperty(varimg, _y,(imgy+(mousey*v)));}
}

I thought there must be ab easier way using getBounds but wasn't sure how to implement it.

If you guys have any advice or know of a good tutorial on this kinda thing it would be much appreciated. I dont just want the code I do wanna understand promise.

Cheers

Scrolling Images/MC On Mouse Over

So far I have this actionscript:

slider._x = slider._x+(0.25*Stage.width-_xmouse)/60;
};

This one is almost perfect, but it only scroll one pixel and I have to keep moving the mouse in and out of the sPane. If some one can help me to make this scroll continuously, your time will be appreciate it greatly.

Thank you.
