I am trying to make my own text scrollbar with dragger. I don't want up or down buttons just the dragger. I've done this so far...
Code:
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var ms:Number = newsText.maxscroll;
var left = scrollTrack._x;
var right = scrollTrack._x;
var top = scrollTrack._y;
[Code] .....
It scrolls till the end of text but not to the beginning....
I am trying to get this dragger to work on the play head of my audio player. I get it to drag but when i let go it jumps back to the place it was before. You may need to change the sound file to get it to work but I have attached all other files needed to get it to work.
var XMLLoaded:XML = new XML();
XMLLoaded.ignoreWhite = true;
var timesLoaded:Number = 0;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth);
var sound_mc:Sound = new Sound();

I prefer to build custom drag functions using the TimeEvent etc. Below I have some code where as when I click on a MovieClip it fires the imageStartDrag function which then begins the imageDrag function consecutively.Currently when I click and drag it moves the image fine, however it is snapping to the far left of the image.What I would like is to be able to click and drag so that the image drags from it's original point. My brain is a bit confused, what do I edit in 'imageLoader.x = mouseX;' to have it starting from it's original position and moving. (Note, I'm only testing with the X Axis atm, later it will use the Y Axis too.)
Code:
// Image StartDrag Handler.
private function imageStartDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
i've donwloaded a scrollbar from the forums and i need help on how to make the scrollbar go to the top when you push a button.
View 1 RepliesI 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:

View 17 Repliesin flash8/mx04 is it possible to create a custom scrollbar for text only? i would like to make a dynamic text field with a scrollbar that doesnt need to be contained in a masked mc like most of the scrollers i have seen on this forum so far. i dont want to use the UIscrollBar component because it doesnt quite (well, doesnt at all) fit in with the theme of the project i am working on.
how to make a scrollbar?
how to display text from external text files but the problem that they all use the regular component scrollbar inside flash, and how to make custom scrollbar for dynamic text but still not for external text. But as the title says, how to make a custom scrollbar (with/without easing but hopefully with it) to display text (or html) from an external text file?
View 8 RepliesI have created a custom scrollbar for some dynamic text ("services_txt") under a movieclip ("servicestext_mc" with the instance name services_mc). The name for the scroller is scroller_mc.
The scrollbar works fine, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the text box. I keep getting error message 1120: Access of undefined property services_txt.
I've tried scrolling my text several ways and seem to keep getting this error - I have a feeling it's because I've inputted the text manually and forgot to do something, instead of using an external text loader. Here is the code I've inputted:
var scrollPercent:Number = 0;
var minScroll:Number;
var maxScroll:Number;

There is a lot of different topics allover on the interweb about how to make custom scrollbar for the dynamic text fields but none for the input text fields. I'm trying to do an email form that understands when to need a scrollbar, how to move vertical position of the scrollbar when moving cursor in the lines of the written text and so on.

View 4 RepliesI'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()"

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..?
[Code]...
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.
View 5 RepliesI 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?

I am trying to create a custom scrollbar for a website... I watched the tutorial>[URL].asp on how to create one. I have the scrollbar working but it won't attach to the text! Here is the actionscript:

I intend to make a Custom ScrollBar that would work with Loading dynamic MovieClips upon runtime. I want the ScrollBar to scroll through those MovieClips.
What i am trying to do exactly: I want to create a "who's online" Something, add a Movieclip with information of the client to that 'Something' and use a Custom ScrollBar to scroll the content(dynamic-added MovieClips) of that Something.
just wondering if anyone could give me a kickstart with any tutorials or anything? i was hoping to make one like the flashloaded one etc..
aiming to make it work with dynamic text though
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.
View 5 RepliesI am new to xml content in flash. I have been through the kirupa tut for loading xml content and have been successful in implementing it, but I now want to implement it into a scrollbar so I can use css and img tags. I can get it to work using the UI scroll component, but I want to use a custom scroll bar. I get the XML to load fine but I have no clue where to stick in the firstChild.childNodes[0] so I can call to certain attributes within the XML document. Below is the AS for the custom scroll bar.
Code:
stop();
holder_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
var LV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
LV.onData = function(info:String):Void {
holder_mc._txt.text = info;

I've successfully implemented the scrollbar from this great tutorial for some banners, but when I get to my 300x250 banner, the content gets cut off and disappears at a certain point while scrolling. This is the tutorial: [URL]. I altered the pieces for two different sizes without needing to alter any code, but this size is suddenly giving me problems. My FLA is attached.
View 3 RepliesThis is probably a really dumb question, but I recently created a custom scrollbar using this tutorial. [URL]. Have managed to get it working (well sort of...) It scrolls down- but it won't scroll to the bottom of the content. I'm guessing I have to plug in numbers in the script, problem is I'm very new to this.. where to i plug it in.
These are my numbers:
measurements (pixels)
H_C= 1024
H_T= 382
H_F= 25.4
H_V= 450
I am implementing a scrollbar using a custom embedded image using my CSS stylesheet. This is a very simple, thin scrollbar. I would like to configure this scrollbar using CSS properties at runtime, but so far I have been unable to do so. I know it can be done because I've seen examples of it in the net, but no code to review.
View 1 RepliesReferring to the given thread of adding mouse wheel action to the custom scrollbar.
[URL]
if we have two scroll bars side by side then on moving mouse wheel both the scroll bars sets in motion.
how to handle such situation?
I am trying to modify Kirupa's Simple Custom Scrollbar to function the same as [URL]..I have managed to reposition / resize the scrollbar based on the Stage/Browser width/height but need your help to include these functions.When the Stage/Browser is resized, the "scrollFace" adjusts its scrollFace._y position to maintain its proportional position based on the new scrollTrack._height.Eg: The "scrollFace" is moved 3/4 of the way down the "scrollTrack".. When the Stage/Browser is resized, the "scrollFace" is still 3/4 of the way down the "scrollTrack" proportionally.When the Stage/Browser is resized, the "contentMain" adjusts its contentMain._y position to maintain its proportional position based on the new scrollFace._y.Eg: The "contentMain" is moved 3/4 of the way down via the "scrollFace".. When the Stage/Browser is resized, the "contentMain" is still 3/4 of the way down proportionally to the "scrollFace".When the "Mousewheel" of your Mouse is moved, it scrolls the content accordingly.Also it is a wee bit juttery in the scrolling, I'm not sure if it is anything I have done or just because its a large file?
View 5 RepliesI've followed the "SimpleCustom Scrollbar" tutorial and it works great. Is there anyway to customize the AS so it'll snap to the right side of a fullscreen flash movie and function? I'm working on a fullscreen flash movie and I want the users to be able to resize the window and still be able to see the movie - just like a stock OS scrollbar.
View 2 RepliesI worked through Kirupa's "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial and successfully adjusted it to fit some of my content. Then I put it in a movieclip. I was hoping I could just go into each new instance of that movie clip, put in new content and be good to go. Unfortunately, when I edit the content inside my movie clip it edits the content of all the scrollbars in my timeline.
I tried renaming the instance "contentMain" to "contentMain2" in a second movie clip, that I also gave a unique instance name to, and adjusting the actions to match, but that still ended up renaming it in the other the scrollbars in my timeline as well as adjusting it in the actions of all the scrollbars.
I need to create a scrollable list of buttons. Only vertical scrolling is enough. The main thing is that, the buttons and scroll bar should be custom drawn. One and two dimension of button layout support is needed.
