ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Scrolling Multiple Textfields?
Jun 9, 2011
I'm using a for loop and creating multiple textfields in that, that populate with variables from an aspx page.My issue is that no matter what I do I cannot get all these fields to datapage or scroll, I place them in another movie clip, and assign them to that clip, and I can scroll the background contents of the clip but not the dynamic fields.All the scrollbar tutorials for textfields are based on single textboxes or graphics. What can I do to get all the generated fields to scroll inside the stage area?The function of this is to pull from a database of flights that gets updated, and allow the user to select and view what times/dates etc. are available.
Actionscript Code:
var reply_lv = new LoadVars();reply_lv.load("#");reply_lv.onLoad = loadedDotNetVars;_root.createEmptyMovieClip("databox", _root.getNextHighestDepth());function

I want to get the the boundaries of a character in a textfield relative to the stage. The problem is that getCharBoundaries seems to return the coordinates not relative to the TextFields origin, but relative to the text origin (which may be somewhere outside of the textfield if the textfield is scrolling).
I don't know how to get the actual origin of the text (even if it's not visible within the textfield due to scrolling) so that I can calculate the actual stage coordinates of the character.[URL]...

Is there a way to disable scrolling on textfields?We are having a reoccuring problem where textfields that schouldn't be scrollable still scroll for 1 line.You can see ALL of the text in a textfield (nothing is hidden below the fold), but when you click and drag, the text field scrolls up one line. This looks really sloppy but we can't find a fix.It seems that flash autosize makes the textfield a few pixels too short.I've tried every variation I can and looked through the as docs with no luck.

I'm using AS3 and FlashVars to pass info from the page into the SWF to write content into a TextField. The whole process is actually using ASP to pull info from the URL and write it into the FlashVars field which in turn gets put into the TextField.I'ts working great.I've got the formatting and positioning and everything looking and functioning just how I want.My only problem is I'm a bit of an AS3 newbie and for the life of me I can't figure out how to use 2 different Variables to create 2 different TextFields.

I am working on a Results page for my game as well as upgrade page and looking for an easy way to do many textfields. I have a format for my text that takes care of font, colour, and size, but looking for an easy way to do the width and height of textfields to increase all at the same time.I have been informed about a "with" keyword that may work but do not understand how to implement this within my program and essentially want to shorten my results class if possible.

Outside a loop, I have created a text format object, and then inside a loop I go through a number of iterations of a textfield object. When I declare the var for the textfield inside the loop, as well as its affiliation with the text format object, nothing displays. If I declare the var for the textfield outside the loop, it displays without issue, however, it only displays the last iteration of the loop (obviously). Why can't I have multiples textfield objects using the same styling?

Here i'm trying to put the strings of array into a couple of textfields.[code]...Assign array into multiple textfields?
there is no error message in this but there are nothing shown in the textfield either, nothing at all.
i wonder how can i convert the text string to instance name at the left side of "=". as i look up the web, most issues about converting string to instance/object name are talking about the right side of "=".

On my other topic about xml for loops. Creating multiple xml driven textfields out of one movieclip and place them below each other. Since the movieclip (which includes the xml driven textfields) is exported for actionscript and doesn't exist on the stage, how can I add a scrollbar in order to scroll all the dynamically generated text together like it was inside a movieclip on the stage?

I am trying to use a for loop to clear a bunch to textfields. The textfields were not created dynamically and they are inside of a movieclip named mcContentOnStage. I need help assigning the number to the textfield name.

I want to have each text identified as marketLocation1, marketLocation2, etc up to 150 and I wanted to use a 'for loop' to place the value of that XML node into each labeled textfieldHowever, the only issue is... each individual text field is buried inside a button so that the button displays on mouseover an associated XML fields data.Meaning, I mouse over a dot on a map (button) and it pulls up a statistics balloon about that location specific to our companies needs. I'm a total AS3 noob, so I'm not sure if I should be calling to the XMLdata loaded for a specific set of values on entry to that mouseover, or if I can preload the data for that button into it's specific text fields.Specifics are for the xml/flash file
Code:
<market MarketID=1>
<marketLocation>Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC</marketLocation>

I have two text fields, textL and textR, that read like a book with a specific height and width. Currently I have the external .txt/.php set up variables for each page. Example of book.txt :Code:&page1=Hi this is page one.&page2=And this is page two.I am looking for ideas on how to approach using just one variable which is split at the absolute end of textL with the rest of the variable or string loading into textR. Basically, automating the split of the text when it runs out of space in each field.

What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

Picture this, for now anyway, as I will be uploading my example when I get home from work. I have five squares all the same size on 5 different layers in slightly different posistions so it looks like a diagonal stack of squares.
I have a button called playHead which I need to act as a counter I will now state the play buttons functions. Once the user presses the play button the first square moves horizontally off of the stage through a coded tween, whilst the square behind it moves into its original position.
I need this function to happen for all of the squares, I would ideally like to use a key listener and the LEFT ARROW instead of a button but I am doing it this way firstly.
The problem is that because I am using multiple tweens and only 1 button everytime I press the play head it trys to trigger the first tween: I feel that I need a counter mechanism that turns off tweens that have already finished and counts through a variable to know which square has been moved. I will upload my progress at 6 tonight GMT.

I'm currently working on a project for a client who just keeps adding and adding more and more visuals and functionality (while developing!) to an already complex website . The website is very high-end with a lot of 3d rendered PNG-sequences and looks beautiful, but as you can imagine my flash-project is getting cluttered and becoming very slow at runtime very fast.
For a small baseline: I am currently working with swf files of 15mb a piece (the site will have multiple sub-sites). Each with full-browser moving bitmaps, movieclips and png-sequences. Anyway, the site layout at this point: I have multiple sprites layered on top of each other. These will, based on the mouse position, move parralax-style to simulate depth. Within these sprites I have the following visual contents:
a. a static PNG which acts as a static visual. This PNG is duplicated multiple times within the sprite (tiled) to make sure that the visual is browser-filling.
b. a moving PNG-sequence using this solution from the guru's at greensock: forums.greensock.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4243&p=16835#p16835
c. a multiple of movieclips which act as buttons displayed at various positions within the parralax-moving scene, these buttons popup new screens and load external content.
Currently I've managed to fix all the parralax sprites through the scrollrect option, with only the bare minimum of each animation visible at the same time (the scrollrect is always as big as the max sprite height and max screen width), but because of the visual madness of the website, the swf still runs as fast as a tortoise on ritalin.

Basically I'm building an image gallery. Rather than thumbnails, it just loads the full size images and masks them, so they can all be scrolled through. (I made an intuative preloader for this). It all works fine. The only problem I see there being is performance, when there's quite a few images.Could anyone suggest a way to reduce the load, and make it a bit more memory friendly? I (stupidly) thought that masked out images wouldn't render. I think I'm wrong though? I thought maybe I could make the images off the screen set to 'visible = false'?

To just add the articles will only make the page load slower so I used a scrollbar with a textfield and added text and pics to the article to scroll it. This works fine but I need a way where the scroll can call different textfields or movieclips. For instance, the main scroll opens with a textfield that scrolls articles 15 thru 10. I need on the bottom of the page buttons that link articles 9 thru 5 and so on. So when you click a button the textfield or movieclip changes and displays what is in that textfield or mc. I have looked for a tutorial, a video or anything on this and besides coming up with Flash 5 similar mentions but nothing to this point

I have several horizontal scrolling lists with differing item widths stacked inside a Vertical Group. On an item click all any selected item from the other lists will be cleared. When any of the lists are scrolled all the other lists should scroll exactly the same amount in the same direction, simalar to [URL]
The synced scrolling is throwing an undefined error and has crashed the adl(it is a mobile app) on one occasion. This happens only when I add more than 2 synced scrolling lists via event listeners.
So my question is: Can anyone see why this errors or is there a better way to achieve this type of horizontal scrolling multi-list, possibly a really wide data-grid or group of buttons inside a scroller?

I've been trying to figure this out all day, with no luck - so I'm hoping someone here can help a girl out with her code .I'm working on what is essentially a 'character profile' page, in which you can scroll across the page to see different characters, and clicking on them will bring up a short profile.However, I've set up these different characters as separate buttons within the scrolling movie clip and can't seem to get them to activate.Here is the code I've used so far:
--
p1.visible = false;
p2.visible = false;
var tar:Number;[code]....
It doesn't work.However, using tutorials and trying different things, all I have achieved is making all the profiles appear at once, or having them activate when you press anywhere on the movie clip.In AS2, I would have used myMC.b1 to target it,

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code].....
This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.

I have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).

This is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?
