View 17 RepliesI recently purchased a scrollbar from the exchange marketplace and it works beautifully within it's own swf but as soon as I load it into a second swf (the main "start movie") it doesn't work. When I click on it to scroll, the tracker sticks to my pointer (like a mouse follower) and won't release until I click on a button leading me into another movie. The scrollbar component came with an external caurina file which is where I think the issue is coming from. I think it's having trouble finding the associated code when inside the second movie. I've tried all sorts of parent vs root scripts to try and get it to jump a level to recognize the source of the original code.
View 5 RepliesI have a dynamic text box with text imported from an external .txt file and I'm trying to add a scrollbar using the scrollbar component. The scrollbar works fine if I simply paste the text into the box, but does not work when pulling the HTML formatted text from the .txt fileETA: Here is my script:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;

how to display text from external text files but the problem that they all use the regular component scrollbar inside flash, and how to make custom scrollbar for dynamic text but still not for external text. But as the title says, how to make a custom scrollbar (with/without easing but hopefully with it) to display text (or html) from an external text file?
View 8 Repliesi have one simple question. I did simple scrollbar for text which is loaded from external file. But, if the text in textfield is too short ( few words ) I dont want scrollbar to roll.
I would be grateful for any useful advice.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("abcd.txt"));loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{

Simply put, what I'm trying to do is create a Dynamic Textfield with custom scroll bars via this tutorial [URL], that renders an external HTML file with CSS attached as its content instead of images like in the tutorial. I've tried a mix and match combination, ultimately, when I test the movie, the scroll bar works, but I see no content to scroll through. I have attached my project file.

View 2 RepliesI have a main movie that contains a series of buttons that load different swf files into a loader component.
Each of the secondary movies contains a series of buttons that when clicked load a movie clip with information specific to that button.
Nothing earth shattering, right...
When I preview the secondary movie it runs as I would expect.
When I bring it into the main movie via the loader component and click any of the buttons to load the secondary movie's movie clip I receive the following errors[code]...
how I would convert this vertical scrollbar into a horizontal scrollbar
heres the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);

View 1 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box and attached the default UIscroll bar from the components library in CS4.I have attached it to the text box and it works ok.When i drop it onto my page it appears white (my background is black). When I preview it does what it is supposed to. So far so good. NO! The default Scroll bar is hideous. I want to change it but I cannot figure out how to.
I have tried double clicking it but it cannot be edited. Is this an action Script thing? I have recreated it in another flash document with the text box and the scroll bar which I have attached called 'scroller with text'.I have double cliked the scroll bar and changed it to how I want it and it works, i know how to but its not in my main flash file i am working from. I have saved the one Ire-created one as a SWF and tried importing it but it has errors on it. see attached 'MAIN_Menupage'.I have been through all the tutorials on this website and cannot get this to work.
When opening an .fla in Flash CS4 everything is aligned top left and no scrollbars appear:Have I forgotten something really simple here !? Can this be a mac to pc issue? I tried resaving the .fla but nothing changed.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip that loads thumbnails from images folder by reading the location of image from xml file...The problem is I have put up a scroll bar but its not working i.e its not scrolling the thumbnails' movie clip contents. I am uploading the fla...any line of code I need to change I think its the scrolling function. The scrolling script I used is from kirupa. I don't want to use classes in this...and want the up n down buttons to remain.

My client would like his pages without the right scroll bar. I realize it is a bit crazy on his part, but this is what he wants. How can I publish Flash ani so that there is no vertical scrollbar on the right side? Here is the example that he is using..[URL]..
View 4 RepliesAlright so I'm a flash idiot, got a premade template that's flash with XML for the page's text / titles.. now that's fine and all, and I can write lots of text.. but the downside is.. there's no scrollbar.. so if you write too much, you can use the middle mouse button and scroll down to read the rest.. but I'm wanting to add a scrollbar to be more user friendly and visually 'appearling'.. now I'm wondering since I'm a flash idiot how I can add a scrollbar to certain pages (or every page?) when needed.. can anyone tell me how to start.. whether it would be strictly in the XML (easier I guess because it's just adding in code..?) or does it have to be done in Flash? (harder.. since I have no idea wtf to do)..

View 3 RepliesI have an AS 2 scrollbar that I use over and over when I need to. The scrolls layers sit on the main timeline so in the past all I did was copy to the new fla main timeline edit the scroll, buttons, colors etc. I need a scrollbar in a project and I want to use the same scroll but the problem is the scrollbar must sit inside of a movieclip called "page-design"
The scroll uses the old Tell target method in AS 2 and I'm having trouble getting the correct code to work. rather than copy and paste the original code here, I have the fla of the original scroll working off a main timeline. What I need to do is to put the scroll inside a movieclip so the scrollbar is inside "page-design_mc and page design _mc goes on the main fla timeline follow?
How do you reset the scrollbar in Flash? (I'm using the component, not a cusom scrollbar.)If you go here, scroll ALL the way to the bottom and then click on "Donations" - you'll see the scrollbar stays in place.How do I get it to refresh each time new text is loaded? I've tried refreshPane() and a few other things, but nothing works.

View 4 RepliesI made a scrollbar, dynamically attached to a dynamic textfield, and it looks fine when I publish in Flashplayer 6. When I switch to 7 however, the x_position jumps to the _x postion of the Textfield instead of the position I gave it (513). And I also made something to make the scrollbar invisible when there is not enough text, but in Flashplayer 7 I still can see an 'inactive' scrollbar.Is it my coding that is maybe partly AS1.0 (I am terrible at that)? Or something with UI components and Flashplayer 7?[code]
View 2 Repliesok - i'm totally confused here... this is probably a stupid noob question... just recently got flash 8 - upgrading from mx2004, but had previously been using flash 6 components and AS1, due to files that had already been written in mx... my problem is this - i have a dynamic text field, populated with data from a LoadVars object. When a button is pressed, different data is loaded into the text field, and the scrollBar is supposed to reset to the top (position=0)

I have a small problem, i used the tutorial from kirupa for my scrollbar, but it's not working. I load the text dynamically from a text file with a typewrite effect. Here it's the code:
