Image+text Scroller, Form Scroller, And Loading External Text Files - Urgent
Hi everybody!
Does anybody know how to do the following things in Flash MX?
1.Make a scroller with text + images in it;
2.Make a scroller with text + a form in it;
3.I followed the tutorial entitled "Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text", but the text that I tried to load has over 160 lines, and I can only scroll down to about half way of the total lines. Why is that?
4.I also tried to load xml files using the code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> on the first line of each xml file, but the ', &, and " " don't work.
Can anybody help me, please? This is urgent!
Thanks in advance!

Convert Movieclip Scroller To Dynamic Text Scroller
I have code I borrowed that is set up to scroll a movie clip image. However, it doesn't work well if I replace the graphics with a text box as the scrolling becomes "jerky" as I think there is too much information for it to process with the complexity of the text. So I was hoping to change the scrolling content from a movie clip image with text to a dynamic textbox. But it will not function when I do that change. In this currrent setup, the movieclip instance name is "contentmain". I tried naming the instance of the dynamic textbox with that name, but no text shows up next to the scroller when I play the movie.
Here's the code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrac._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrac._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrac._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrac._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrac._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrac._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);
// Setup easing event
contentMain.desiredX = contentMain._y;
contentMain.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= (this._y - this.desiredX) / 3;
};
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain.desiredX = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
};
};
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};
btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
if (scrollFace._x<=left) {
scrollFace._x = left;
} else {
scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = left;
contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnUp.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._x-speed>finalContentPos) {
if (scrollFace._x>=right) {
scrollFace._x = right;
} else {
scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._x -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._x = right;
contentMain._x = finalContentPos;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnDown.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;

if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;

TEXT CHANGING, When I Copy And Paste Text Scroller, And Add New Text......?
here's the problem:
I have a text scroller I took from a fla. file on here.
on my site, I wanted to just change the text. in the text scroller, and
place it in diffrent sections of my site a number of times with diffrent text.
I do not have a problem, copying and pasting the scroller.
But when I change the text from one section, to the next, it will make all the text the same.
If I copy the scroller and paste it somewhere else, swap the text it will change all to that last text I entered.
I tried, typing one section's text. Then copy/pasting the scroller, and putting new text, and converting that text to a symbol (graphic). Hoping it would work but had no LUCK.
This is huge and i need help, considering I am a newbie, there has got to be away this can be accomplished so I dont have to build seperate text holders/scroller, for all 15 sections of my site.
Let me know..and thank you all so much.

Loss Of Text Formatting When Using Dynamic Text Field & Scroller
Hi all,
Using MX...
Another small problemo im having is when i format text in my dynamic text field and attch the scroller component to it, in preview mode i lose all the text format and it goes to the first text format it encounters and uses that for everything else in the dynamic text box.
Im not actually loading any text into the dynamic text box, im just using it with static text, so i can use the scroller component.(as i understand it, you can only attach the scroller component to a dynamic text box ??)
Why am i losing my text format AND is there a better way to have a scrolling text field when i just want to use static text...???
Thanks guys..hope thats not too confusing

Dynamic Text Scroller (text Crawler?) NOT WORKING?
Hi, I am trying to make a movie that gets text from an external text file, and then scrolls it horizontally across the screen. I made a function that takes the object (movie clip with text) and moves it across the screen. it works fine except if the text is more than the width of the text field, i get this nasty trailing effect. it really sucks!
does anyone know a good way to do this? i would also like to be able to have mulitple texts, following eachother, and then looping to start over.
any info would be greatly appriciated!

Text Scroller - Adjusting Scollbar As Text Changes
I've created a simple dynamic text scroller and have a question relating to the scrollbar - the files for this can be downloaded at:
http://www.weazelweb.co.uk/dump/dyntextmx.fla
http://www.weazelweb.co.uk/dump/text1.txt
http://www.weazelweb.co.uk/dump/text2.txt
and the SWF file can be viewed online at
http://www.weazelweb.co.uk/dump/dyntextmx.html
The movie is dead simple, when you reach a certain point in the timeline, the text changes.
Unfortunately, in my second text file the content is much shorter but the scrollbar does not adjust to the size of the new text - it just remains the size of the first one. Even though the text doesnt move, the scrollbar can still be pulled up and down.
If I change the text files around so that the smaller one opens first, then I get no scrollbar at all for either.
Any suggestions as to sorting this problem out - puh-lease.... thanks.

Text Scroller
Can anyone help an old dog do a relatively new trick?
I've been trying to understand actionscript for a while now and can never seem to grasp anything more than goto next frame when it comes to scrollong text vertically. Could someone help with scrolling text smoothly with one onPress instead of lots of clicks. I know this involves setting up variables...but to tell you the embarrassing truth I'm not that clued up on this.....but I'm willing to learn if anyone has the patients with a dumb ass like me.

Please, Some Text Scroller Help
I can't figure it out. Its a simple text scroller that scrolls text from a .txt file. But when I'm scrolling it, it suddenly stops scrolling the text half way down. As well, the spacing is all messed up. There are huge gaps between text, but on a Mac there are no gaps?? Would the scrolling length have something to do with the actions that make the text scroll? Would I maybe have to set a specified ......um, length value for it to properly scroll the whole thing? I don't know, can someone please shed some light!

Text In A Scroller
hi
I have a mc that scrolls using ...
-----code------------------------------
header1._y = Math.round (header1._y+(header1Y-header1._y)/ntitleInertia);
-----end------------------------------
...when a button is clicked
that works fine until i put text into the mc then it slows the player down to the point that it almost stops! It works with one line of text but if i put a block of say 10/15 lines it slows down.
what is the best, if any, way of gettin round this.

Help With Text Scroller
I have an example of a text scroller I downloaded from flashkit, unfortunately there is no contact for the person who created it (name of zip file - Simple_S-Alan_Wis-864), so I am posting the question here!
There is only two scripts involved -
the script on the scrollable text box mc -
onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables ("text.txt", "");
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
textbox.scroll = _root.slider.b;
}
and the script on the dragable bar -
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
a = new Object();
a.y = this._y;
a.x = this._x;
_root.path.globalToLocal(a);
b = int(a.y/(100/_root.text.textbox.maxscroll)) ;
}
All I want is to make the text scroll via two buttons,one for moving text up and one for moving text down, on roll over! instead of dragging the bar up and down
Can someone help me out please?
Thanks

CSS Within Scroller Text Box
I went thru some tutorials on ActionScript.org and found them very helpful. In particular Tutorial 41 CSS in Flash MX 2004 from the Beginner Tutorials and Tutorials 33/34 Scrolling a text box from the Intermediate Tutorials. I was successful with both tutorials but wasn't able to combine the concepts of both into one.
I am trying to have an external file (txt) load into the Scroller text box and have the text formatted based on CSS. This may seem very easy to do but I am having trouble with it as I am an ActionScript newbie. The Scroller text box portion works fine but I cannot get it to load/recognize the CSS.

Text Scroller
I've been searching flashkit for a good scroll bar for scrolling text.
I haven't found anything that I am needing. I need to make a scroller where I can change the "look" of the scroll bar. Unlike using the scroller component that comes in flash.
I also need something where the text is managed in the text box and not in an external file or in the actionscript code itself.
Can someone direct me to a good tutorial with source?

Can Someone Help Me With My Text Scroller?
I have researched several scrollers and I found one I like, but I can't get it to work properly.
The scrollbar goes down to far, and the when you scroll p, it dowsn't reach the top.
There's only twelve lines of code, so it's fairly simple. I tried working with the code but no luck.
Here's the fla: http://www.caillouette.com/scrollbar-new.zip
here's the code:
Code:
ysize = 800;
targY=0;
dragger._x=-84.8;
dragger._height = (theMask._height / theText._height) * scrollbar._height;
dragger.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this,false,this._x,0,this._x,theMask._height-this._height);
}
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=function(){
stopDrag();
}
theText.onEnterFrame=function(){
scrollAmount=(this._height-(theMask._height/1.1))/(theMask._height-dragger._height);
targY=-dragger._y*scrollAmount;
this._y = targY;

Can Anyone Help With This Text Scroller
Hi guys,
I have made a text scroller in flash however I can not get the text to scoll on my desired trajectory.
can anyone have a quick look at my AS and maybe advise me as to where I am going wrong.
here is the example I am working with:
Code:
//set my variable
targY = 0;
targY = 0;
//set the x position of my scroller
scroller._x = theMask._width;
//set the drag action of the scroller
//drag is restricted to the height of the mask
scroller.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this, false, this._x, 0, this._x, theMask._height-this._height);
};
//stop the drag
scroller.onRelease = scroller.onReleaseOutside=function () {
stopDrag();
};
//set the mask for the text
theText.setMask(theMask);
//the scrolling animation
theText.onEnterFrame = function() {
//set the scroll amount
yscrollAmount = (this._height-(theMask._height/1.3))/(theMask._height-dragger._height);
//set a new target y position
targY = -scroller._y*yscrollAmount;
//set the y of the text to 1/5 of the distance between its current y and the target y
this._y -= (this._y-targY)/5;
trace("yscrollAmount = " + yscrollAmount + " : scroller._y = " + scroller._y + " : targY = " + targY + " : this._y = " + this._y);
//set the scroll amount
xscrollAmount = (this._width-(theMask._width/1.3))/(theMask._width-dragger._width);
//set a new target y position
targY = -scroller._x*xscrollAmount;
//set the y of the text to 1/5 of the distance between its current y and the target y
this._y -= (this._x-targX)/5;
trace("xscrollAmount = " + xscrollAmount + " : scroller._y = " + scroller._y + " : targY = " + targY + " : this._x = " + this._x);
};
alternately I thought I would be able to achieve the same effect with a different script. I found this one on the internet, am trying to modify atm.
Which one do you guys think would work better?
Code:
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ slider
scroller.onPress = function () {
this.startDrag(false,3,14,3,116);
}
scroller.onRelease = function () {
this.stopDrag();
}
scroller.onRollOver = function () {
this.nextFrame();
}
scroller.onRollOut = function () {
this.prevFrame();
}
scroller.onEnterFrame = function () {
_parent.info._y = -this._y-30;
}
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ down
down.onRollOver = function () {
this.nextFrame();
}
down.onRollOut = function () {
this.prevFrame();
}
down.onRelease = function () {
if(scroller._y+5<115) {
scroller._y+=5;
} else {
scroller._y = 115;
}
}
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ up
up.onRollOver = function () {
this.nextFrame();
}
up.onRollOut = function () {
this.prevFrame();
}
up.onRelease = function () {
if(scroller._y-5>13) {
scroller._y-=5;
} else {
scroller._y = 13;
}
}
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sliderBg
sliderBg.onPress = function () {
if(this._ymouse>13 && this._ymouse<116) {
scroller._y = this._ymouse;
}
}
sliderBg.useHandCursor=false;

Text Scroller
Hello there,
I think this could be an easy thing but however, I couldn't figure it out. included I have a really great text scroll file. But there's one thing I like to change: now the text comes from actionscript, and I would like to load it in from a text file or more preferably and .xml file. It would be really great when someone could have a look at it. On forehand thanks !!
Yntze

Help With Text Scroller
I'm trying to create a simple text scroller, but want the scroller to be custom and on a slightly diagonal line.
I found a drag along path tutorial in another thread and tried to add it to my project, but I'm having some problems. It scrolls down fine, but if you get to the bottom, it locks and stops working.

Please see my attached .fla
Thanks!

Text Scroller
Hi,
I have a text scroller with easing that scrolls a static text field. The problem is that if I make the text field too long, the text just drops off after awhile? Is there a limit as to how much text you can scroll. Here is some snippets of code. The height of my text box in just over 3000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
//frame1
mh = 273;
contenth = content._height;
ratio = (contenth - mh) / mh;
if (contenth < mh) {
setProperty("barre", _visible, "0");
}
//frame2
ctpos = content._y ;
edpos = ((barre.drag._y) * ratio) * -1;
dgm = (edpos - ctpos) / 5;
if (dgm < -0.05 or dgm > 0.05) {
setProperty("content", _y, ctpos + dgm);
} else {
}
//frame3
gotoAndPlay("roll");

Scroller Text
I made a text scroller (see code below), and everything works fine, excpet for when i test my movie, the text disappears. It will still scroll but you cant see any of the text. Back in the edit mode you can see it, the mask is even hiding the part its supposed to. Any ideas?
var scrollUpper:Number = -152.9;
var scrollLower:Number = 67;
var textLower:Number = -152.9;
var textUpper:Number = -567.6;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
function scroll() {
var moved:Number = scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
text_mc._y = textLower - textMove;
}
scroller_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false,this._x,scrollUpper,this._x,s crollLower);
this.onMouseMove = scroll();
}
scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function() {
this.stopDrag();
this.onMouseMove = null;
}

Help For Text Scroller.
I got this text scroller with buttons on an external .swf file. When I preview this file everything works fine. However, when it is loaded on the main movie on of the buttons does not work. I am not familiar with actionscript but I tried deleting '_root' from the code... still does not work. It is the upper button which does not work.
The code for the upper btn. is :
on (press) {
_root.text.rev.play();
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
_root.text.stop();
_root.text.rev.stop();
}
Where as the code for the bottom btn is:
on (press) {
if (text._currentframe <text._totalframes) {
text.play();
text.rev.stop();
}
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
text.stop();
}
