ActionScript 2.0 :: Fading Text As It Scrolls In / Out?
May 9, 2007
I'm sure this is very simply but I can't seem to get the trick down. I have a simply scroller with text. Nothing dynamic, just a plain 'ol scroller. I'd like the text to fade in or out, from the top or bottom, as the user scrolls. Take a look at this site and click on The Film link. The text fades as you scroll up/down. [URL]. I've tried making the mask for my scroller into a gradient but that doesn't affect the text.

I 've got a textfield that is inside a movieclip scroller. I've got an issue though, when selecting the text, and dragging down the text moves one notch, is it possible to disable that?
Basically it does it with mouseWheel to, but I've set that on off, so it's ok.
But is it possible to disable it when selecting, too?
The text comes from an XML file, and I suppose that scroll happens because of white space on the XML. I tried disabling white space using AS3 but it doesn't seem to work.

I am trying to create scrollable text that scrolls up/down automatically (meaning without having to continously click on the button) when either the user mouses over or clicks on the button. Currently I am using the action script:
on(release)
{
scrolltext.scroll -=1;
}

I currently have a dynamic text box loading some html text (from external source) and scrolling automatically (need it to display news for a website that will be updated weekly by the client) .... I was wondering two things:
1 - Is it possible to endlessly loop the text (currently scrolls it and stops at the end)?
2 - My main movie is at 35 fps (too fast) can you set the speed of the scroll?
here is the actions on my container movie clip (very basic)

But it's not scrolling..You can view it here:(Click Start, 2 times the right arrow, then the book, to the righthand side there is a scrollbarI have divided my Scrollbar into 3 classes, the actual scrollbar, the scrollbar custom event and the scrollbar including content and mask.This is the actual scrollbar:

I have text that wraps around an image on a page and I want the text to fade in from top to bottom. I would have just made a gradient in Photoshop and then tweened it over the text. But the text wraps around an image and the gradient would cover the image.

I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I have almost completed my first Flash project at work, after numerous losses of sanity, blood, sweat and tears. Anyhow I am on the last step and can see the end in site.
I have a movie within the webpage where text fades in. There are three components to the section; static text, a button and text that is linked via another movie file. When the text fades in each of the elements mentioned fade in at different times/rates. What should be looking at? I think that all the frame rates should be the same? Should I combine them all into one and make the fade easier to work with?

I am making a childrens story book for school and to go between the pages of text I want the text to fade in and out.. I have been trying many different things and have looked quite thoroughly and have found nothing which is what i want.
What I Would Like If I have a book (see book.jpg attached) and in that book i will have text. When the next or previous page button is pressed the page will go to either the previous or next page.
The way I think it whould be done When you click on the next or previous or next button the text is written into a dynamic text field with action script, but is there anyway to have that script fade in when it is written with action script.I think this would require having just one dynamic text field and the buttons on one frame and then just writing and fading the dynamic text in that text field when you click the button. Also is there anyway to set the previous and next button to load different text depending on the text that is already loaded?

I've read through several tutorials but I must be doing something wrong on this. I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS4. I am trying to create a short clip that fades text in over a bacground video. When I create a motion tween on the text track, I'm generating an error and the background video is no longer visible in the preview. Instead, I see the text over the stage background color. It is as if the background video track has switched to wireframe. Here are the steps I've followed:
1. Created Flash File (ActionScript 3.0).
2. Imported Video into the State background layer - it appears as a black image in the it previews fine at that point
3. Created new layer for text and placed text - it previews fine at this point, text is overlaying video
4. I right click on the text block and choose convert to symbol.
5. Next with the play head on the first frame and the Text layer selected I choose Create Motion Tween. This is when AFP throws this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComp onents() at [code]...

SO i have looked and looked and I am beginning to believe that this may just be impossible to do with Actionscript. Basically i have a backend php file that creates an XML file of randomly selected entries from a Db. That XML file is imported to the swf file, and currently i can rotate through the XML nodes with no problem. Where i am now having issues is trying to have each entry Fade in.........and then fade out. Doing this with tweening is not an option because the tween time period never matches up with the backend actionscript rotation time period.
I have read alot about how you need to embed fonts to make this possible. have done that to no avail. THis can not be that out there of an idea. Basically i have a list of advertiser names and am wanting to rotate through them........but want a little more style than just a hard cut between the entries.

I have a static text movie clip (text has been completely broken down). What I want is to fade in then fade back out. I have the first part working, it's getting to fade back out. Here's what I have so far:
Welcome._alpha=0;
Welcome.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha+=5;
}
This section works great. I just can't seem to grasp how to make it fade back out.

I have an AS3 project where some content had to be scrolled in a browser to be seen.The problem is that when a button is clicked where the html scroller has been used the flash frame to which it goes is in the same position ie at the bottom of the frame. Is there a way to make sure that the new frame is at the top?I have tried using
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)" );
and
//navigateToURL(new URLRequest("javascript:window.scroll(0,0);"), '_self');

The ScrollPane loads a swf file which loads a .jpg. The jpg can be long, and should scroll.It works fine locally, and worked fine before I loaded a jpg (when I had the jpg in the swf), but on the live site it only works when I click a menu item the second time. Before that the scrollpane does not load. I wait around thinking its a loading time issue but this does not seem to be the case

I have this problem whenever I publish a .html file from flash. There is always white borders around it and the swf never fits to the browser size and with scrolls. I saw a few websites , the .swf fits the web browser nicely without any scrolls. May I know how do I do that? I checked swfobject2, but I am not really sure how to do it...
