I've been looking for a tutorial to create a timeline scrubber (not animating specific movie clips, but actually a scrubber that can move along different keyframes of a timeline that has a series of images on it).I found a bunch of these (scrubber controlling specific movie clips): http:[url]....but nothing that allows you to just scrub back and forth on the whole timeline in the exported swf.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a scrolling timeline using a very (horizontally) long image and a scroll thumb that can be dragged right and left. When I first open the .swf file, the position of the image is correct (the far left side is on the stage). But once I click on the thumb and release it, even if I don't drag it, the image jumps as if it was dragged and suddenly I'm looking at another part of the timeline. When I drag the thumb all the way to the left, it can't go any farther left to the beginning and it's just stuck at where it jumped, but I can drag the thumb more to the right and see more of the timeline perfectly fine. Also, when I scroll all the way to the right, the timeline goes past its end and then there's blank white space. There's obviously some space missing at the beginning that should make up for that blank space at the end.
why it jumps like that and why I can't drag it back to the beginning of the timeline. In fact, I used this exact same code for another project and the timeline worked perfectly fine. All I did was use a different image for this one. I'm completely stumped on this.
Here's the actionscript I'm using:
Quote:
stop();
var thumbLeft = thumb._x;
var thumbRight = Stage.width - thumb._width;
var thumbDistance = thumbRight - thumbLeft;

I'm designing a page that is kind of like a photo album. You click on the next button to view the next image. The current image moves off to the left and the new one moves in from the right. Thats simple as its just sequential. But if i wanted to go back to the previous image in the same way with that one moving back to the right and the previous one moving back in from the left you obviously can't make the timeline go backwards can you?
View 14 Repliesim wanting to have a scroller appear at the bottom of my site that moves content along based on the animation i have in the timeline.so for example. Lets say that I have a circleMC on frame 1 thats positioned on the left side of the screen and the end frame of the animation is frame 10 with the circleMC on the right side of the screen. tweened/animated to go from frame 1 to frame 10 .instead of a play button that plays that simple animation. i want to make a simple scroller that allows the user to scroll it through so that he/she can see the animation as fast/slow as they want it....meaning that when the scroll is activated, essentially the timeline will be going back n forth between the ten frames.

View 1 RepliesI need to learn how to create scrolling text. I�ve looked around on the web but I can�t seem to find a good tutorial on it. The text does not need to be dynamic, I must be able to choose different fonts and colors for the text, and most importantly create a custom scrolling bar.

I need to create a Flash banner. Fairly straight-forward in terms of looks - a long list of services that scrolls from right to left and then loops continuously.
I'm using Flash MX 2004. So far I've created the text - it comes on from the right and leaves on the left. The problem I've got however is how to make this a continuous, seamless loop. When it goes off on the left I can't figure out how to make it come back on from the right.
I would like to create a scrolling effect on one of my MovieClips. In Javascript I'd simply create two divs, one positioned absolutely in the other, and have the surrounding one have the style 'overflow: none'. Now I want to achieve the same in ActionScript, as shown in the following picture:
When I try to set the size of the surrounding MovieClip the contents just get 'squashed'. I want it to stay the same and the parts outside of the 'rectangle to be hidden outside of the MovieClip.
I would like to create a scrolling background for a web site (something that functions like the old 2d pane scroller games). Does anyone know of any books/articles that address this functionality?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create Vertical scrolling images. I found a tutorial using AS 3.0, used that, but made a couple of alterations - like I did not want the images centered on the stage and I added more images than what the tutorial showed. As a result I have several errors in the Actionscript.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a Vertical scrolling xml menu. This menu is based on [URL] "Creating 3D Carousels tutorial"
This is my code
Select all
var Items:Number;
var xml:XML = new XML ();
xml.onLoad = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc_Control", this.getNextHighestDepth ());
mc_Control._x = 0;
mc_Control._y = 0;
[Code] ......
My problem is when I add a new item in the xml file, I can't see it in the .swf file. My xml file have 37 items. I only see 24 buttons! in the .swf file and I' m stuck at this point my buttons have 26 px (_height).
I'm trying to create a scrolling text in Flash MX that will go horizontally from side to side of the stage, each scrolling text will be a number of words each separated of each other by a bullet or small circle. The scrolling text will be a Movie Clip with one single Dynamic text field that will load it's variables from a .txt document, that dynamic field will duplicate it self as many times as the amount of variables on the .txt document.
So I was thinking that if I created variables using a numbers like 1 = word, 2 = another word ect. To whatever numbers of words I want to be displayed on the scrolling text I could use a script on the first frame that could say something like this. (Dynamic text field has a variable called ticker)
loadVaraibles(TickerText.txt, this)
ticker = 1 + "."
Now comes the questions
Can flash read more than one variable in a single .txt file? Or it read on and assume that everything else within the file is just part of the first variable?
If this is possible how can I tell flash duplicate this dynamic text field as many times as the amount of variables on this particular .txt file?
I know this all sound really confusing but I hope that some one can understand me and give me some tips to get this to work or maybe make a simple sample of it and upload it on my server so I can see how can this be done.

I'm about to create a scrolling platformer game, something like Gum Drop Hop, where the background is scrolling constantly, and you have to keep running or else you'll die. Do you know any tutorials on how to do something like this? I'm not really sure how I would generate random platforms all the time...

View 92 RepliesI am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a endlessly scrolling bitmap background. I want to make it as efficient as possible as there is plenty of other game logic going on too. The idea is to have a repeatable bitmap scroll horizontally on an endless loop, which can obviously be achieved by placing two sprites of the same bitmap next to each other and offsetting one when it reaches the far left boundary. I was wondering if there is perhaps a faster more efficient way to do this, perhaps using scrollRect or copyPixels? If anyone has any idea which method would be fastest,

What is the best way to create buttons to give content a scrolling function.The functionality is provided by ScrollPane, where content, images etc. can be used and scrolled but aesthetically buttons are preferred.There is actionscript for creating scrollable text fields with buttons, but it requires constant clicking and only applies to text. Just mentioning this if there is something similar to attain the functionality of ScrollPane for content.
