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 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.
View 4 Repliesjust 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
when I test my movie my external text loads. if I scroll downany length with out retuning it to the top, and then click a buttonwich loads another external text file, you are not able to see thefirst few lines of the text file untill you click on the slider.the slider did not return to the untill I reset the sliderscordanites apon button click. is there a way I can reset the textfield.my code can be found in the sixth reply of this post [URL]
View 17 RepliesI saw nice Easing text in scrollbar in lot of flash sites. Exist some tutorial for this? Do you know what i mean? If no I will found some example.
View 6 RepliesLook at e.g. [URL]. When the site loads, the section in the middle contains a scrollbar that scrolls the text with easing. However, the scrollbar itself appears to be the scrollbar component from Flash itself. Is this something that is maybe readily available in MX 2004? Or should this be scripted manually?

View 4 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 3 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.

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 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.

this is probably a clich problem, but how do you work out a scrollbar with ease? I know how to use easing pretty well on anything else, I just can't get it to work on my scrollbar
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text box with text imported from an external .txt file and I'm trying to add a scrollbar using the scrollbar component. The scrollbar works fine if I simply paste the text into the box, but does not work when pulling the HTML formatted text from the .txt fileETA: Here is my script:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;

I've used this script:

fscommand("allowscale", "false");

bar.useHandCursor = false;
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;

If I try to load some thing dynamically into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, it doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.
i have one simple question. I did simple scrollbar for text which is loaded from external file. But, if the text in textfield is too short ( few words ) I dont want scrollbar to roll.
I would be grateful for any useful advice.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("abcd.txt"));loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{

View 2 RepliesIn this documentation it says that flash CS5 should support custom easing, just like old good CS3 and earlier versions of flash.however, this feature seems to be missing from CS5. it says:Click the Edit button next to the Ease slider in the frame Property inspector.but there is no "edit button" in the panel with easing slider.
View 4 RepliesI've been trying to find an easing generator that supports bounce but have found none. I want to create an easing function that starts as a easeInSine (or quad) and ends as en easeOutBounce (imagine dropping an object on the ground). I've already thought of splitting up the tween in two. Just realised that the easeOutBounce actually starts a little bit like easeInSine but I would like to enhance that part to make a steeper curve.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to set a custom default easing for all Classic Tweens in a project?

View 3 RepliesI have been following all the wonderful tutorials in this forum to learn about AS and flash. This time I tried to combine 2 tutorials and make a text field with external loaded text and custom scroller button, but I failed.....
I tried to look for different tutorials to find the answer, but It didn't work out either...
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.
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?
