I'm attempting to get my UIscrollBar to reposition the scroller to the top every time there's new text loaded into the textfield. I have tried scroll and scrollPostion=0 and every other keyword in the livedocs. I have even tried creating at runtime and thought that it being remade every time would reposition it but apparently not
Code:
destroyObject("mcArticle.uiscroll");
mcArticle.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "uiscroll", mcArticle.getNextHighestDepth());
mcArticle.uiscroll.setScrollTarget(mcArticle.stupidBox);
mcArticle.uiscroll.setSize(16,mcArticle.stupidBox._height);
mcArticle.uiscroll.move(mcArticle.stupidBox._x+mcArticle.stupidBox._width,mcArticle.stupidBox._y);
When I do it that way, it also creates a white rectangle on stage.

When Mouse is down on PlanetEarth_mc, only PlanetEarthOuter_mc starts moving, leaving PlanetEarthInner_mc and PlanetInner_txt in the same existing place. I want to call the parent of the target i.e. I want to move PlanetEarth_mc. also, EventReceived.target.parent.startDrag();//Gives Error. How can I achieve that from received MouseEvent Object I hope u understand this.
I would like to position relatively a scroller in my application like below.When I scale the image, I resize the scroller...
<s:Scroller width="50%" height="50%" >
<s:Group>
<mx:Image

In Objective-C how to get instance name by certain rules?[code]...
View 2 RepliesThis seems so simple and yet I can't figure out why my MovieClips won't hold their instance names.[code]And I do this for each button (I know I can do this with XML but nothing seems to work right now so I've broken it all down to see what's going wrong).[code]And the trace statement gives me "instance29" or some such. Can't seem to get the name to stick. I've tried creating getter and setter methods in my button class to access a label property and use that instead of the name but it comes out undefined when I trace. I'm having trouble finding anything on the forums though I'm sure it must be there. Could someone point me in the right direction. I don't need a full answer, just an explanation of why this is happening.
View 2 Repliesi need to assign an instanceName to a dynamic movieClip and I get it! But, the drag & drop functions aren't works properly..the code:[code]
View 8 RepliescreateTextField function has the following signature:createTextField(instanceName:String, ...)it's ok if the instance name is passed as a string literal.but it does not recognise it if it is passed as a name of the variable containing this string:
createTextField("name_of_the_textfield", ...) is OK
name_of_the_textfield.type="input";
trace(name_of_the_textfield.type) returns "input"

Is there a way to lock instancename in a swf to prevent it conflict with other swf, when they are loaded in mainmovie.
Say I have this string: in both b.swf and c.swf. And they are loaded up at the same time in a.swf.
loadMovie(this.pathToPicsJan+this.pArrayJan[0], _root.photoJan);
Somehow the mainmovie get confused with the instancenames. Is there a way to get around with this so I don't have to rename each name?? It would b such a hassle to rename all instancenames if I got many duplicated/similar swfs.
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart [code]

change vertical scroller to horizontal scroller?
View 2 RepliesI would like to use it as a horizontal scroller for an image gallery. Just to clarify a horizontal dragger and a horizontal stage motion for image viewing.
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false;

I can find tons of articles/tutorials on custom scrollers but none of them actually replace the browser scroller. If the browser is made smaller the custom scroller and the browser scroller are there. [URL]...
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)

// set up content_mc info
contentRight = _root.content_mc._x;

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)
I have a dynamic text field that I create and populate with code, and a UIScrollBar that goes along with it.works correctly, the scroll-bar appears no problem.The issue comes in when I load the SWF into another project.I have a SWF interface that loads other pages (SWF, FLV, etc) When the SWF with the scrollbar is loaded into the interface, the scrollbar does not display at all.Here is the code for the scrollbar SWF, if:
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
var myTxt:TextField = new TextField();
myTxt.border = false;

Is it possible to change the look on the UIScrollBar in flash cs4 using AS2 ?? ive tried almost everything now without success,.
View 1 RepliesI have a TextArea for a Chat. When I write a lot, the UIScrollBar remains on the top of my TextArea.I'd like my UIScrollBar is located at the bottom of TextArea..
View 7 RepliesIt seems the simplest way is to use the UIScrollBar, but it will not work in my Flash file.I create the dynamic text box and drop the UIScrollBar on it from the components panel, the scroll bar attaches but only shows up as a white rectangle with no arrows. When I test it it stays the same. I don't think it's just the color because when I hover over or click where arrows should be nothing happens, the text will not scroll. I can click and highlight the text to make it scroll, so I know the additional text that isn't showing up is there, I just can't scroll down to see it.The weird thing is in another flash website I have the UIScrollBar does work. I can drag the problem one from the first file into the second and suddenly the arrows appear. I even tried creating a new text box with the UIScrollBar in the working file then dragging it over to the problem one, but the arrows disappear and the bar turns into a white rectangle again.
View 4 Repliesi added this code (from another post on this forum) to a project i'm working on but can't seem to make it work. i am using a normal textarea, with the uiscrollbar. the text load from an XML file, all working fine. i'm trying to hide the UIscrollbar when it is not required, where textA is the instance name of my textarea.

make a text scrollbar NOT using the UIScrollbar! I have been trying to figure this out for a while.very tutorial I have used has had something wrong in the directions or something I am not looking to do. Just let me know which ActionScript to use 2 or 3.
View 2 RepliesI created a UIScrollBar and linked it to a dynamic textfield. It works OK, but if I publish it and view it in the generated HTML file
(with flash player 9) it is not visible. If I view it in the standalone flash player it is fine.
The component itself works perfectly. I can create a scrollbox and the scrollbar and everything works perfectly..except that it somehow partially disables my other codes. I'm trying to create a small database in flash where I can store stuff and to quickly find what I'm looking for I made a Input Text field and added a code so that you could search for a keyframe label and then it would jump to that keyframe.The scrollbox disables the search function, although only partially! The button with the search code looks like this:[code]which means the scrollbar component somehow disables the Enter button! Weird. I know I should be content with at least the clicking working, but I'd really love to have a search where you can just simply press Enter for it to go to that keyframe.
Well, the problem didn't end there.When I try to delete the scrollbar and everything that made the search stop working, the enter button still won't work, even when I deleted all the faulty keyframes where I added the scrollbars! So I have to begin again from scratch to make it work.A scrollbox would really help me get more text into a keyframe, so I'd love to have it there. If someone can help me get this work, I'd be happy.I tried creating my own scrollbar. It works great, too, and it doesn't disable the search code. The problem is, that I made the scrollbox into a movie clip, and I need many scrollboxes with different texts, and I'd really hate to create a new scrollbox from scratch each time I need one with different text. Plus, I'll probably need 100+ scrollboxes so it'd take a while to make that many.Anyone know how you can duplicate a movie clip and then edit the duplicate without the original being edited? That annoys the hell out of me and I'd really love to be able to just duplicate my self-made scrollbox and edit the text on each one, because right now when I edit the text on the duplicate box it also edits it on the original one :/
I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxes with the same scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component.
View 2 RepliesI need to add a scroll bar to a textFlow and I was wondering if it's possible to use the UIscrollbar component to do this.Here is my code:

I have a website I created in Flash (CS4 AS2), and on one page, I have a UIScrollBar component. It is linked to a text box, which loads text from an external .txt file. The page has a short pre-loader that plays while the page is loading; the page is not supposed to be shown until it's 100% loaded.
My problem is that when the page loads, the text is there, and there is a box where the scroll bar should go, but no scroll bar. The mouse wheel makes the page scroll as it should, but the bar itself is not visible or functional. If I navagate away and then return to the page, or reload the page, the bar displays as it should.
I want to add a horizontal scrollbar to a textfield that shows the text in HTML format.When I try that in other documents without scrollbar I get it to work.In the code bellow, which I mainly took from the Actionscript Reference, the code works when I use text (like in the Actionscript Reference).But when I change it to htmlText to get it HTML formatted (and get rid of the HTML codes) the textField doen't show anything.
The code:
import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
