ActionScript 2.0 :: Custom Scrollbar Doesn't Scroll As Far As It Should
Aug 11, 2003
I am making a scroll bar but it doesn't scroll as far as it should. I triple checked all my math but I can't find anything wrong. Probably the code of interest is on the movie clip content0 within the instance whole. This is what actually controlls the scrolling. Most of the other script dictates how the sliders work so you can ignore that, they work fine. Scroll index is a number between 0 and 1 indicating how far down the bar the slider is, 0 it hasnt moved, 1 it is at the bottom. That works as well. So i am not sure why this doesnt work.
I have a text box with a scrollbar attached and everything works fine except if i use the scrollbar then the scroll event attached to the textfield doesn't execute but if i type in the text field untill it scrolls then the scroll event works perfectly.
I have a text box with a scrollbar attached and everything works fine except if i use the scrollbar then the scroll event attached to the textfield doesn't execute but if i type in the text field untill it scrolls then the scroll event works perfectly. i can't post code because its a media server project and the code is several classes and a few hundred lines long.
I just made a scroll area with buttons and draggable items. All the code is written for vertical scrolling, the content I need to be scrolled is going to be horizontal. how can I rewrite this code to be horizontal scrolling? it seems like the scroll button (the one you drag along) doesn't stay confined to its scroll line either.
I've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately). how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).
Is there any simple way to scroll a dynamic textbox with easing, without having i scrollbar visible? perhaps something that scrolls when mouseover? Every tutorial i found is with a scrollbar, and still i come across the kind of scroll that doesn't have a scrollbar!
I have a scrollbar that scrolls left or right when the cursor is moved either side of the central x coordinate. I've been trying to change it so the scroll only activates when the cursor is towards the far right hand side (ie x>75%) or towards the far left hand side (x<25%) of the scrollbar, leaving the central 50% of the scrollbar inactive.
Code:
function scrolling() { _root.onEnterFrame = function() { container_mc._x += Math.cos(((mask_mc._xmouse)/mask_mc._width)*Math.PI)*15;
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 have a bunch of variables loaded into a movie clip and taken the data and created a comment post / shout box the problem im having is i cant find anything on scrolling an mc using the uisrollbar everything i have found has been with custom scrollbars and scrollbar classes.Url..In the first example it is the data loaded and placed into a MC and the second example i have tried to load that MC into a scrollpane but it doesnt scroll right.As you can see its scrolling right past all the post into blank area when it shout stop at the last post. The other problem is if there is more then 8 entries into the databse it wont even scroll to the last few entries....so obviously its not recognizing the hight of the MC properly maybe i need to force it some how but i dont know.I have tried a masking scroll but i cant seem to get the scrollbar conected to the MC to scroll it.some sample code or perhaps a good tutorial on using the uiscrollbar with a mask scroll.One last thing i shout ask is should i be using variables or XML passed from php to acomplish this entry viewer?
I'm wanting to make a vertical scrollbox (say, 150 px wide by 500 px high with a scrollbar) and where the content is defined by an XML file. The catch... I'd like each name in the list to become a button (or otherwise clickable) that opens a swf (also specified in the XML file). I have succeeded in making a static list where each "name button" was created manually... but I'm realizing my list is going to be hundreds of names and I'm thinking there must be a way to achieve this with XML. Here is the current version:
scroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.
i have made a custom scroll bar however when i change the angle of the scrollbar and the scroll line ( they are on the stage) it continues to scroll verticaly
I'm currently learning Flex, and am having the hardest time getting scroll bars to work. In short, I'm making a giant form for users to fill out, contained within a viewstack component. The user will type up information in one view, and it will be displayed in the other. But right now in the first canvas I have components that run off the screen and flex doesn't automatically add a scroll bar, so I added 'verticalScrollPolicy="on"' to my canvas. Now, while it gives me a scroll bar, it gives me an empty scroll bar. I still cannot move it up or down, meaning components are still trapped off the bottom of my screen. Am I missing something simpleEdit - I'm using Adobe Flex Builder 3, and the components it lets you drag in. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/218/problem1f.jpg This is a picture of the problem, and i guess relavent code would be.
I tried the tutorial on [URL] The Object-Oriented Scrollbar: Part 2 tutorial. Every thing is fine, but when I load the swf to main.swf
- I can scroll the scroller, but not the content - I got this error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at com.leebrimelow.ui::ScrollBar() at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip() at com.leebrimelow.ui::ScrollBox() .....
The scenario is: - The main timeline play and stop at 56. - At 56 the main.swf loads the sec1.swf
I used the lee brimelow scrollbox and scrollbar class for a resume scrollbox on a site I'm building. The problem is, when I load the swf with the scrollbar/box onto the mainpage, it throws the following error:
I'm using a scrollbar and textbox that I got here at Kirupa. I was wondering if there is any way to make this scrollbar function when a user tries to scroll it with the scrroll wheel on their mouse. Does anybody know if this is possible? If so, how?
Here is the scollbar I used: [URL]
And here is my code for my scrollbar:
loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.load("news.txt"); loadText.onData = function(myLoadedText) {
I have a dynamic textfield that loads an xml file and I'm looking for a good tutorial on how to create a custom scrollbar component to scroll the textfield with easing.
i recently doing a custom scroll bar with mouse wheel,i succes to make it scroll and wheel in internet explorer, but when it come to firefox, it can't wheel but can scroll. I wonder how can i solve this problem.Here is the script ( it actually the tutorial from kirupa, i remember some people have post it before, but i wonder he/she can wheel in firefox.)
scrolling = function () { var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height; var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;[code]....
I created a dynamic text box that links to a xml text document. I've also added the Scrollbar component to the text box. It scrolls fine in preview mode...but once I upload the file, the scroll bar becomes disabled.
I'm using this custom scrollbar script I got somewhere. Works OK on page that needs it but when going to the other pages I get a "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at the_fla::MainTimeline/stopScroll()"
Code: /* script to control scroll text */ var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(scrollMc.x, scrollMc.y, 0, 200);
I made a custom scrollbar for a textfield that works like a charm... but in it's "alpha-state", it was only showing where the text was scrolled to (and how long the text is, by it's own height)- you couldn't actually click the scrollbar and drag it. So I added a little AS to the actual scrolling block MC that *should* work... and kind of does- but not like I think it logically should..?
My problem is with scrolling vertical content with a custom scrollbar, where the dynamic content often starts at a y value ABOVE the viewer (or mask). I can get the scrollbar to reflect the correct % of available content on the scrolltrack, but for the life of me am stuck allowing scrolling for the full height of the content.The attached FLA (v8) shows where I'm stuck and how far I got. It's a much simplified version of the final movie, with static content for now, but demonstrates a case in point. I can't use the built-in scrollbar component/s because the content MC will be dynamically populated with further MCs and the content._y value will change constantly, usually ABOVE the 0 y coord of the movie.
I followed the tutorial [URL] and it is not working for me. It may be that I am attempting to use this nested within another movieclip. When I test it and click on the dragger on the scroll bar all that happens is that the dragger relocates to center of screen... and that's it. No scrolling, or whatever. To give more info, I am creating an ebrochure, where each frame on the main timeline is a movieclip "page" and in each "page" are several other movieclips. I am trying to use the scroller on "page" 11 (basically frame 11 on main timeline) and in that "page" are several movieclips on their own layers that build the page, including the layer that has the movieclip of the scroller content as per the tut. But I can't seem to make it work. Is this scroller functionable on the main timeline only?
Mainly been making websites all these years, but in my last year at school i started to get interested in Flash Actionscript. I've been at home for over a year in 2008, unemployed. I got back to school in September 2008 but quit the education as it wasn't for me. Now I'm looking to get a job, but I need a showcase, so I'm building my portfolio at the moment.
I'm currently working on my portfolio which i wanted to make in Flash using XML generated content. I got as far as getting the content generated in my prototype. Now I'm trying to build the real thing. I currently got a scrollbar on the left which contains the thumbnails. I used the custom scrollbar from [URL] ([URL]). The content in it is generated with xml and actionscript though.
this problem affects my Flex 3 app when it is being viewed using Firefox for Mac. If the user drags the scrollbar then releases the mouse OUTSIDE THE BROWSER, the scrollbar doesn't get released and continues to scroll the content once the user rolls the mouse back over the Flex content. [URL]
I would like to know how can I make a horizontal scroll bar in AS2?I have make a vertical one already and using the below script, what should I change then let the scrollbar become left to right?
var scrollUpper:Number = 9; var scrollLower:Number = 158; var textLower:Number = 0[code].....
I am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes. In fla file there are movieclip scrollbox, inside of which are dynamic text field (txtField) and custom scrollbar ( consisting of two clips: thumb and track). If I copy some text into text field, everything works. If load external text into text field, text is loaded but it doesn't scroll. Below are codes from all classes:
