I'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.

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?
View 1 RepliesI'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 RepliesI 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 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.
Does anybody know how to make this scrollbar? [URL]
View 2 RepliesWhat I am trying to accomplish is creating a main movie where I can load content into it, but if the content being loaded is longer than the viewer's screen, it will scroll.
I managed to get the actual scroller working but the template file I made to load movies into isn't working quite right. I am attaching a zip file for everyone to look at.

The problem is that when the site is being watched on, say a 10 inch notebook where the height of the screen is only 600px, the site is simply too big and it won't show all the content on the site.I was hoping there was a way to, either via actionscript or javascript(which I know next to nothing about), would be a way to tell the browser to use a normal HTML scrollbar when the stage size becomes too small ...If I haven't explained my question good enough or I need to post my actionscript code, I can do so when I get home.
View 10 RepliesI am having involves some pretty simple content loaded from an xml file (which I learned how to do here) and this tutorial for the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" [URL] When I load the content into the "contentMain" movieclip to be scrolled the scrollbar does not recognize that there is any content to scroll.
I am fairly sure I understand why this is happening (I am assuming that it has to do with the info from the xml file not being loaded soon enough for scrollbar actionscript to recognise it is even there)... But my lack of knowledge of actionscript is keeping me from even knowing where to begin solving this problem! I realize this is a relatively basic question so if it has been answered before in these forums a point in the right direction will do just fine.
I'm trying to do a vertical scrolling full screen flash website and for the life of me I can't find a scrollbar tutorial anywhere to make the site scroll in AS3 (when I'm talking about scrolling, I mean getting rid of the native window scrollbar and having flash control it's own custom scrollbar to go up and down through out the site).
View 3 RepliesThis problem is probably very simple to solve but it is not clear to me. It may simply be that I am doing something incorrectly. I have studied OOP and AS3 for quite a few hours so I am familiar with the concepts but not the flow. This is a project that I put together in order to reinforce what I have been studying.The goal here is to load an instance of a pre-created movieclip to the stage from the library then execute a positioning function in the FLA's timeframe ActionScript and execute a function from within the AS files's class ActionScript to both a resize the movieclip and output a trace.I have two files:smileface.flasmileface.as
View 3 RepliesI am using this tutorial and when I hit the play button the masking tween looks perfect on the stage.When I publish or use test movie however the gradient underlay shows up on top of the text.
View 7 RepliesI've removed all of the math I had done. Just trying to get the content area (_scrollable) to move up and down behind the mask in the opposite direction, just as you'd expect a scrollbar to do to a content area.
Dragging of the scrollbar is setup and this just needs some simple math coding in the thumbMouseMove function.
I'm not a real actionscipt person as I usually only code simple buttons and the like. I have a scrollbar that I grabbed off a resources site. (code below) I want it so that whenever I put the cursor on the scollbar to move it that the graphical information under the scrollbar comes on (either reveal or opacity to 100%). At the moment the little thumbnails under the scrollbar are on all the time and area bit of a distraction (they are meant to assist in the use of the scrollbar by minimising searching behaviour).

I've made the kirupa simple scrollbar [URL] to scroll horizontal. This works just perfect but it is not smooth. My question to you is - how to make it smooth? I've got 4 MC's with the instance names content, mask, scroll_area and scroller.
My AS looks like this:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.content_width = content._width;
_root.scroller_area_width = scroll_area._width;
scroller._width = _root.scroller_area_width/(content._width/scroll_area._width);
_root.scroller_width = scroller._width;

I have a simple getURL button within a movieclip within another movieclip. Does anyone have any clue why this isn't working? The button is in the top layer of the child movieclip, and the child movieclip is in the top layer of the parent movieclip, so what am I missing here? I attached a simplified fla to show the issue. In the end, the main red box will be a country on a map and the popup box will contain info about the country and links to pictures and sites.
View 4 RepliesI'm following a tutorial to make a simple game. The aim of the game is for a player to evade a flying enemy ; the higher the score, the faster the enemy. The main elements in the game are the enemy the player and a score card.
However, from following the tutorial, and adding the dynamic text field etc....the score doesn't actually work.
This is the code that I was instructed to place on the first frame of the Scripts layer:
//Game Variables
enemySpeed = 5; //Set Enemy initial speed
numberEnemy = 4; //Change this to add more Enemies
score = 0; //Set initial score to 0

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.
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()"
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..?
[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.

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:
