ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A Scrollbar In Flash CS5 Using 1.0?
Jul 8, 2010
I am attempting to add a scrollbar to A) Text fields in an AS1.0 Flash CS5 file, and B) to a movie clip in the same file. Everywhere I look for the answer they say to use the UIScrollbar component, however in my version it is not listed under the components section of the file. However I did check and it was listed under "new" AS2.0 and AS3.0 files that I opened up just to check. Is it possible to add scrollbars to text fields and movie clips in AS1.0 Flash CS5?
make it so when the user clicks on the track the copy scrolls to the accurate place? At the moment you must grab and hold the thumb (handle) to scroll the text.
ActionScript Code: var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); format.letterSpacing=50;
I am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.
I'm currently having trouble on integrating a scrollbar that I downloaded from Warm Forest Flash. I built a XML gallery that is going out of the boundary of height of 466 pixels. The thumbnails that are out of the boundary are still visible. On top of that, I tried to add the scrollbar to the sprites inside and outside the for loop, but sadly it doesn't appear. For the height thing, can I set the size of the ULLoader? Or should I just use a mask or something?
I have been stuck on this for far too long. I think it's simple so I must be misunderstanding something. I want these to display across the full width of my flash app. When I shrink the width of the flash player I want a scrollbar to appear. At the moment no scroll bar is appearing.
I am building a text editor in Flex using the Text Layout Framework. So I have a Canvas in which I display the content of a TextFlow. I would like to show scrollbars in the canvas, so that I can use the scrollbars to scroll throught the content.
However, the width and height of the 'composed' text layout is equal to that of the canvas, so it is not a matter of just turning on the scroll policy. Somehow I am not able to find the full height and width of a full composition of the TextFlow.
adding the TextFlow to the canvas: rawChildren.addChild(_textFlow.flowComposer.getControllerAt(0).container);
Anyone knows what is the best way to add a scrollbar here? Or how to figure out the full height of the TextFlow?
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]..
Alright 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)..
I am trying to build a AS3 only project and I ran into a problem that when I turn some MC's visible on...they are out of my browser window and there is no scrollBar for browser to scroll down...
I'm using the List and UIScrollBar components. I've got a list with a scrollbar placed far from it. I want to disable the built-in scrollbar in the list and scroll it with a different scrollbar. How is this possible?
I have several scenes in a Flash app; for some of them the Movie height is right while for others the content is very long so i would need to have scrollbars to let the user scroll down.Which is the correct way to handle it in this old version of Flash?
I am designing my first simple website with Adobe Flash, and I have run into a problem. When I do publish preview, I notice that no scrollbar appears in the browser; therefore, only part of my content is shown. How can I create a scrollbar in Flash so that when someone views my webpage they will be able to scroll down and view all of the content on the page?
I found this when looking around for something usefulbut I can't make it work. Is there anyone out there that has been using this or something similar? Do you know any tutorials or maybe example fla files that I could use? I'm kind of a beginner so I would need things explained a bit more.
I'm trying to create a scroll bar almost exactly the same as the one on this site [url].. where it only appears if the window isn't wide enough and also resizes when you resize the window. i've googled around trying to find examples of how to do it / tutorials but been unsuccessful!
Flash has a scrollbar class, documented here: http:[url].......However, besides listing functions and variables, there's no real explanation of how to hook an instance of this class to a textfield.Everything I've tried either ends up in errors or the scrollbar not showing. The documentation lacks a clear way of how you should bind the textfield and the scrollbar toghether, and CS4 isn't providing any help either.how scrollbars work with textfield?
I'd like to adjust the width of the default ScrollBar that appears inside of a Flash ComboBox. From my research on various forums, it seems like the best approach would be to subclass fl.controls.ScrollBar, which I've tried doing here:
package helpers { import fl.controls.ScrollBar; public class CustomScroller extends fl.controls.ScrollBar {
[Code].....
Then, in my library, I've taken the "ScrollBar" movie clip that appears upon initial creation of a ComboBox and changed the base class to "helpers.CustomScroller". I've got three ComboBox instances on the stage; however, none of them are showing anything but the default width, nor am I seeing the output from the trace() statement in my constructor.
i followed a tutorial on line that showed me how to create a scrollbar gallery with the use of only action script and xml, i also looked at another tutorial that allowed me to be able to use thumb nails to change the images been displayed. now i'm trying to modify the former tutorial gallery i made to include this function by using my already set images as the thumbnail and when this images are clicked i go to the next page or frame and display the corresponding image. i have been able to get the images clickable but i can't seem to get the image to be displayed. here is my code and my xml file here. even if its an idea i wouldn't mind. been at it for 2weeks now and i can't seem to find a solution.
PHP Code: stop();import mx.transitions.Tween;import mx.transitions.easing.*;//maincodevar myGalleryXML = new XML();myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite true;myGalleryXML.load("test/gallery.xml");m
I have an image gallery with a bunch of thumbnails displayed on the page in a grid-like layout. Currently, the swf sits in a HTML page set at 100% width and height. There's a resize listener that adjusts the layout so that the thumbnails all fit on the page at once. So, as the browser window gets narrower, the columns decrease and rows increase as the thumbnails get pushed down the page.
The problem is, once the thumbnails get pushed far down far enough to go past the bottom of the browser, the overflow is hidden and the thumbs "below the fold" are not accessible. Is there a way to pass the dynamic height of the SWF, so that the browser detects whether or not it should display the side scroll bar?
i just want to remove the down and up arrow from a scrollbar component in flash cs3. I've tried to remove the movieclips but than the flash would throw errors(which is obvious), than i tried to delete the graphics inside the arrows but with no luck.
Edit: I forgot to mention that i want the actual scrollbar area to expand if i remove the arrows.
