I have a scrollpane but need to put the scrollbar on the left. I've used the code:_root.scrollPane.vScroller._x = 0;This only works once the scrollpane has loaded. up a function/listener? I'm useless with listeners so I've tried on(complete) with no success.I've also heard an "added" event listener may be the answer, but I've not managed to succesfully set that up.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a dynamic dictionary with Flash AS2 and I've been pretty successful with most of what I'm trying to do. I've created a movie that will read in an XML list of terms, definitions and optional images and/or audio. The XML is being read successfully, the desired loading of information is occurring successfully, but the ability to see an unlimited amount of content is being hampered by the fact that I'm not able to get the scrollpane I'm using to provide "scrollability" when the number of terms exceeds the visible area.
I'll attach the code I'm using in the hopes that it will be clear what's going on, but a few definitions first: "my_SP" is the scrollpane on the stage, created in the authoring environment. "Container" is the name of an empty movie clip symbol in the library that has it's properties set so it will be exported for ActionScript and can serve as the contentPath for the scrollpane.

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}
I need to use a ScrollPane in my site to show several photos.My site is set up to load MC's to the MainStage using attachMovie.One of my MC's is named Photos. If I add a ScrollPane to Photos with content called Pics (another MC containing all the photos.) it won't scroll What is the proper method of adding a ScrollPane to a MC called with attachMovie?

Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.
I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

I have 2 functions, 1 loaded before another. Some value are determine by the other function data, but since one of it has to load before the other 1, how should I get the data that is loaded after current function?
private function wMessage():void {
Message.width=Name.width+20;
}

I've taken out some other unnecessary codes, but as you can see Name position is set according by the position + width of Message, but I want Message's width to be not smaller than Name

I've got an application which loads anexternal swf, then needs to add content to a specific depth in it. It does this by finding a named placeholder clip and replacing it with a UIComponent, using addChildAt(); This seems to work fine - I have a trace utility that walks back up the display list and it shows my UIComponent right where I expect it, then the parent movie clip, then all the containers up to the stage. At each level the container is a) visible b) 1.0 alpha and c) the size I expect it to be, and from my trace I can see that I have a structure which looks something like this:[code]
All well and good, but if I draw a rectangle on the graphics of the UIComponent (or add an image to it, or do anything else), nothing is visible. I can trace any parameters of the UIComponent, I can use it to make changes to its parent SWF, I can even note that if I draw a rectangle on the UIComponent which is larger than the Loaded SWF, then the SWF changes size to accommodate the new bounds - but I can't see a thing.I was wondering if some security stopped the parent application adding content to the Loaded SWF, or if there was some other issue.

I have a class called Bike.as, linked to a movieClip in the library. The class essentially tweens a bike graphic across the stage. At the end of the tween, I instantiate a new class called Slideshow. Slideshow loads an image. The image loads(I get no loading error, and I can trace info about the loaded content)... I just can't seem to see it. In attempting to debug, I wrote the loading code(in Slideshow) into the Bike.as file(replaced the code that instantiates Slideshow), and it worked. Did it work because Bike is linked to a movieclip, and Slideshow is not(Slideshow is called in Bike.as)? I'm attempting to transition from AS2 to AS3. Here's my Slideshow class:
public class Slideshow extends Sprite {
private var container:Sprite;

I'm struggling with a project. I'll try and describe it. 10 mc are loaded randomly with one of two ext.swf's. Each time you click/drag on one, 1 of 6 questions are randomly loaded from an array into a text box on the main timeline. I need to count and add up how many of each of the 2 ext.swf's have loaded and whether they have an x pos < or > 300. My first problem is: The question shows up in the text box when the mc is clicked/dragged but when I trace it, the question that shows in the output doesn't match the one that's loaded into the text box?The second problem is a big one. I need to be steered in the right direction as to keep track of what is where on stage. I only have a vague sense of how to go about it, and combining all the bits is too much.
1. I need to trace the question2. I need to say if the question is 'blah' do this3. The 'do this' is pretty complicated. I need to add up the #1 movies that have an x pos of <300 and the #1 movies that have an x pos of >300 and then do the same for the #0 movies. Then I need to compare a users input answer to the correct one!!! The question AS is in the external swf. [AS]stop();

I am loading an external SWF using the Loader class, and adding it to the stage with addChild.When trying to add a mouse click event listener to the MovieClip, using addEventListener, nothing happens, the event never fires.Is there a specific way to add listeners to externally loaded movie clips?My code looks somewhat like this:
var target:MovieClip = assets["screensaver"] as MovieClip;
target.root.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickScreenSaver, true);
addChild(target);
The target shows up on the display, but the CLICK event is completely ignored.

I want to load a txt/dat file into flash - the file looks like this:
<p>testujemyTRESC</p>
Now, loading this text by loadText i need it to begin with "n=". Is it possible to add for example "n=" in front of the text outside the text ediotr? I can get the data loaded without the "n=" mark by a code like this:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onData = function(content) {
textarea.text = content;
textarea.html = true;
}
If I do so the html tags are not working.
I have a MovieClip, and inside of that is a Loader that loads an image. I have an INIT event listener, which fires a function like this:
Code:
private function BoxartLoaded(event:Event):void {
(event.target).parent.addChild(event.target.content);
}
I assumed that would add the image to the Loader's parent MovieClip once loaded, but it tells me that "parent" isn't valid.
What's the proper method for adding a child to a Loader's parent?
