hi all:
i place the following code in the main timeline which there's a movieclip on the stage containing a text field, to let it scroll following the mouse:

};

it works fine but by default, the text scroll very fast even the scroll is +=1, how can i make it smoothly(the defult scroll is line by line, maybe i want it pixel by pixel?)

Dynamic Text In Smooth Scrolling Text Field
here's links to the files.
http://www.anicespot.com/test/
http://www.anicespot.com/test/easing...roller-01.html
http://www.anicespot.com/test/easing...croller-01.swf
http://www.anicespot.com/test/easing...croller-01.fla

here's the problem:
1) when I have FlashMX open and select 'test movie' the text loads but is visible outside of the text field. (see .fla file)
2) when I publish and view locally the html or .swf file directly from the folder everything works fine.
3) when I place all files in the root folder and view from the web nothing works.

so can anyone help me out here?
this really has me puzzled.

Smooth Scaling Of Text..
on my page i have numbers going from 01: to 09: when the mouse rolls over these i want the text under the cursor to enlarge or scale up. As the cursor leaves the text its over it goes back to normal. I found a good tutorial to build tsunami here;

http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/adavanced/Building_a_tsunami/index.shtml

All said and done this code is little above my current skill and knowledge. I was wondering how to achieve the same effect in a more simple form. I know there is a scale command in mx but it just did'nt seem to work for me....

how would i go about trying to achieve this effect??

Smooth Text Scroll
i want some dynamic text scrolling with buttons, so far i've made it by naming the text scrolltext and adding to the scrolling buttons this:

on (release) {
scrolltext.scroll -= 25;
}

and:

on (release) {
scrolltext.scroll += 25;
}

but this has to be activated by a click of the mouse, and its pretty rough, since the text just "falls" to the next position.

and i would like to have a smooth transition, by onlyt putting the mouse over the button, i figured it'd be by changing (release) for (mouse over) but when i write that only the word mouse is in blue while over stays black..

how do you do it?

thanks.

Smooth Text Scroller
i am having a little trouble with this smooth scroller:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/launc...height=426&bg=

i've searched kirupa and haven't found this scroller, but i am sure someone knows how to work one of these...?

basically, my problem is this: the actual scroller works fine on its own if you open just the "scroller.swf" - but when you call it as an external in to your main (lets say index.htm) it does not work.

anyone know why? there's not much coding to the scroller, so it cant be that hard, but i've tried all of the logical things, and nothin works..

thanks in advanced

Scrollbar With Smooth Text?
It seems that Scrollbar component works only with dynamic text and hence sharp text. Is there any way to produce scrollbar with smooth rendered text?

Smooth Text Scrolling?
Is there any way to make a long text scroll smoothly using AS? I tried using a dynamic text field, but that only seems to work with integer line increments so the movement feels jumpy.
Thanks in advance for your time/help.

Smooth Text Scroller?
What I'm trying to accomplish is a scrollable text box. I've studied the tutorial here and the only problem I have is that the user must keep clicking to bring the text down. I'd like it so the user can just click on the scroll button and the text keeps moving, instead of stopping after one line then forcing the user to go click, click, click until they reach the bottom of the page. Here's the action script for the scroll button. Any ideas?

on (press, release, rollOver, keyPress "<Down>") {
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp currentScroll = scrollableText.scroll;
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp if (Number(currentScroll)<Number(scrollableText.maxsc roll)) {
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp scrollableText.scroll = Number(currentScroll)+1;
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp }
}

Best Way To Have A Page Of Text And Run Smooth?
Hello,

I'm working on a page-flip type catalog in Flash with about 10 pages total. A couple of those pages are full of text, which causes Flash to majorly slow down upon playback. (using P4 3gz, 1gb ram, win xp).

As of right now the text is static, but eventually it's going to be pulled in dynamically.

What's the best technique to do when using a lot of text and still have Flash run fast?

Smooth Dynamic Text Scroll
Hi,

I have a scroll bar which scrolls content and when the user clicks the scroll arrow the content accelerates and decelerates so the scrolling appears smooth.

This works fine with static text or other content such as images. However, the scrolling is not smooth (ie. will not accelerate and decelerate) if the content to be scrolled is dynamic text, loaded from an external text file.

I have attached a small fla. to illustrate my question.

Does anybody know how I can achieve the same scrolling effect but using a dynamic text box?

Thanks!

Smooth Scroll Dynamic Text
I have a textbox that dynamically loads from a txt file. I'm trying to have the text scroll on its own... kindof like movie credits. The problem that I'm running into is that it appears choppy when it scrolls line by line. How would I make it smooth scroll without any user interaction?

I've attached my existing file.

Any suggestions would be awesome!

Scrolling Dynamic Text (Not Smooth Please Help)
Hi

Please see my page

http://www.creativeauto.co.uk/products/ ... s_one.html

Now the scrolling horizontal text in blue is dynamic text that gets loaded in via a .txt file so my client can easily change the messages displayed.

This is just a dynamic text field in a movie clip tweened across the stage.

No matter what the frame rate / amount of frames the animation takes it always looks jerky. Is there a better way / a way of improving the quality of this? Its really spoiling the look of the page.

I would appreciate any tips please note that my action script knowledge is fairly basic.

Thanks Ricky55

Horizontal Smooth Scrolling Of Loaded Text
Hi everyone,

I have to make a horizontal scroller, which scrolls a text variable, loaded from file. Like that on the CNN running at the bottom of the screen. The main trouble is to get the width of the text, because smooth scrolling (not just by shifting letters) needs to be done by moving the symbol containing the text smoothly.

Is there any way to determine the width of text (I'm using variable-width fonts) or any other way to organize smooth horizontal scrolling of dynamic text (loaded from file).

Thanks a lot beforehand!

Easy: Smooth Scroll Text Btns?
Ok, I want a text field/ loaded html file to scroll smoothly when the mouse is held over the up or down buttons, this will probably require a variable speed setting too. I havent quite figured out how to pull this one off. Thanks for any help you can provide.

edit: I've tried several tutorials including:

I got that Demo to work now, but was wondering how to put another flash file inside of it, because i assume linking to the fla from the xml document is considered dirty coding.

Auto & Smooth Scrolling Of Dynamic Text
I have included the subtitle for my flash file by adding the dynamic text. the data source for the text is through the XML file. now what happens is the text is not scrolling smoothly it just moves line by line. But what i need is the smooth scrolling and the text needs to be hide on the top of the text box when the size of the textbox reaches, for sake of simplicity say 3 lines is the size of the textbox . when 4th line comes the 1st one needs to hide in the smooth manner. like a news scrolling. thanks in advance for who helping me

Smooth Text Position Tweening With Dropshadow?
Hi,

I'm trying to implement a sliding text that changes position on both the x- and y-axis. Everything works fine until I add a dropshadow to the text box. Then, the movement becomes jumpy. I've tried adding the dropshadow directly from the properties panel but also through actionscript. Both methods lead to the same unsatisfying result.

Did anybody face this before? Is there a solution to make this work?

Many thanks in advance for your time and help!

Smooth Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text.
How do I make my dynamically loaded text scroll smoothly?

Smooth-scrolling Dynamic Text Boxes
I have a dynamic text box which loads the text in from an external .txt file. I created an up and a down button which on rollover, scrolls the text up and down. My problem is that the text is scrolled line by line and not smoothly (eg 2 pixels at a time or so). I know that smooth text can be done with static text boxes by masking the text box and moving it up and down behind the mask by a few pixels at a time. But how do I do this with an dynamic text box because it's length will be changing?

Smooth Text Mask Effect - Using Maybe A Motion Path Or Something - Leaving A Trail
Hi all.

I can create a textural mask, whereby the serif text is gradually revealed. I achieve this by using the key frame technique, where I would add a few white areas, thus revealing the mask. So on play, the text is gradually revelled.

However there must be a better method for achieving this, a method that allows perfect smooth mask effect.

If done using my method. It can vary in speed depending upon the type of curve etc. I wish for the font to be made visible smoothly and elegantly. Can anyone advise on an alternative method, or am I stuck with what I know already.

I had thought of a motion path around the fancy text, and a ball following the path, but the problem I have there is that the ball would need to grow or leave a trail behind itself. If there was a way in which you could leave a trail of say a small ball, I am sure a perfect smooth effect could be achieved.

Please help anyone if you know the answer or have an idea that may be suitable.

Kind regards
