ActionScript 1/2 :: Make A Scrolling Text Box?
Sep 30, 2009
i'm looking to make a text box that the user can control the scrolling, i've made it how i want it to look already, but i haven't got a clue where to start as to how to make it actually work.here's how i've got it set up so far, okay this is gonna take some explainingi've got the document made up in AS2, the movieclip known as 'Philosophy_tween' is on the main timeline, and inside that movieclip are two more child movieclips, one for the text and another for the scrollbar.the text movieclip is set to scroll upwards, behind a masking layer using a motion tween on the parent movieclip, whereas the scrollbar movieclip motion tweens (inside itself) the scroller button. look at the attached image

Usually a song name in music players, like in Winamp for example, song name scrolls from right to left. The only way I can think of is to have 2 dynamic textfields, both having the same text, one next to each other (with desired spacing in between), and then in enter frame or with timer move them both (below the mask) from one side to another, and when each textfiled crossed certain point, move it behind the other and repeat this action forever...

Does anyone know how to make an LED scrolling text effect? This is the best way I can describe it as I don't want scrolling text in the normal way, I want it to be on one line moving right to left with very few characters. Like you might see in an elevator or shop window on an LED scroller.

After 2 days of trying, I was finally able to make a simple scrolling text with the up and down arrows. It is functioning fine, but it scrolls line by line which is kind of cumbersome. I want it to scroll smoothly until the mouse is released. May be some scripting. But I am almost at 0 point when it comes to action scripts.

I am trying to make scrolling text appear on a few screens, so that when I click on a button to go to the next frame the characters of a sentence will appear one after another as if someone is talking. This works a few times however when I go back to the first frame the following error occurs and the text no longer appears??
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at rollingtext_fla::MainTimeline/runthree()
at Function/[URL]::apply()
at SetIntervalTimer/onTimer()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
This is my code basically the same for each new frame
stop()var talkinterval=setInterval(runone,60)var i:Number;
i=0 function runone() { var text:String = "Restrictive signs come in red and blue circles."; text1.appendText(text.charAt(i)); i++; };
b_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nexts)function nexts(e:MouseEvent){ clearInterval(talkinterval) gotoAndStop("h")
}

What is the easiest way to make scrollable text that I can set to whatever font I want (embeded of course)have it look very well anti-aliased; like most Flash text, not like it's being read out of a regular system or browser window. (the text will be big so no probs)have different portions of the text be different colors so I can highlight certain words and leave others aloneuse actionscript to load text content into itmaybe make (all) the text semi transparent for design purposesI'm going to use some action script to load some XML content into the text areas or whatever. Any of you know of any easy ways of accomplishing this? or have a link to any type of tutorial? (at least for Flash CS3 and above of course, along with ActionScript 3)

How to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.
The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?

I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text.
If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link.
Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code:
var formatObj = new TextFormat();
formatObj.size = 15;
formatObj.color = 0;
formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

//this if statement not working as should. button and track are always invisible.
//txt is text field name

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

I have a simple text box with a UIScrollBar component added to it.
The text box properties are set to "input text, multi line.
The problem is when I want to change just one line of the text to a bold or a different color, the whole text box contents changes. I've tried different property setting for the text box itself with no luck.

I had posted a post earlyer asking how to make this, this is just clarifying things. So to start off one question was, what do i mean by scroll box, the slider bar like the thing to your right that you can grab and scroll down to see the content on the bottom of your page. and secondly There is no better way for to explain what a paralax scroller is than to show you so bellow is a link to a website that uses it. Now keep in mind what i am trying to do is much much smaller this is an entire website, all i am trying to do is the content on one page. By making it scroll to the right as it is scrolled down and have content on the stage to the right. i appalogize for not explaining myself earlyer hope this helps to explain what i am trying to do.[URL]..
is an advanced thing to do and i just want to get the basic structure down before tackling more advanced things. but what i am trying to do though is as the stage scrolls sideways (rather than verticle like on the web page linked here) to show the extended stage off the the right. Content that was hidden in the bottom slides up to be shown in a tween animation only frame by frame, and what I mean by frame by frame is so if I scoll on the linked page notice how when you see a new picture and the car is blowing up in size, now if you stop scrolling that action will freeze leaving you at exactly the place where you stopped and this is not a normal motion tween ( the site is not a motion tween at all being built in html 5 and not flash) but i have to think there is a way off getting this done like perhapps a Mouse Event listening for a scroll to play a tween animation or even a frame by frame animation and when the mouse is not scrolling the tween or frame by frame stops. and does not keep playing the time line untill it reaches a stop(); function.

I am in the process of building a web site and am running into an issue with dynamic loading text.I am trying to make a scrolling news section with a stage of 200 W x 250 LCreated a movie clip with the following coding:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
Then set the clip (which is 250 W x 600 L) on the main stage, moving upwards, creating the auto scroll effect.The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to make the text use the whole width of the text box I created. It only uses half of the width, creating columbs like this:
Hello and
welcome
to our new
[code]...
The text box itself is at least twice the width of the sentences, but they aren't using the full width.

Is it possible to make scrolling clouds with Flash, jQuery or JavaScript? If yes, could you please give me code, that I would need to insert in homepage?
I got 3 small cloud images, and I need to make them move on the background, they should be under content, but over body, for example I got content (margin: 0 auto; (in middle) where text is located e.c.), and body image (sky and grass on the ground), the clouds should fly horizontally, is that possible to make?
