ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Make Text Scrolling Like Marquee
Jul 2, 2008
How to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.
The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?

I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code:
var formatObj = new TextFormat();
formatObj.size = 15;
formatObj.color = 0;
formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

I'm new here and relatively new to Flash. I'm attempting to build an mp3 player to add to my website using the "Flash MP3 Player" tutorial. The problem I am having is that the scrolling text displaying the song information is acting all strange. It only scrolls 2 letters over to the left and then 2 letters over to the right and also doesn't fill the entire text box (it leaves a section of empty space on the right side). What I want is for the song info to continuously scroll left to right like a marquee sign while each song is playing.

I'm trying to add a scrolling marquee to a web site that can be updated by uploading a text file. I'm piecing together some old code and I'm having an issue with resizing the dynamic text (as you will see in my fla). I have found that I can fiddle around with the physical size of the text box and make my example work, but when I upload text files of varying length, that option just won't work.
Code: Select allmyData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
mcText._txt.text = this.content;
[code]....

We've seen it on many websites before, where there is a row of buttons on the page and when you position the mouse on that row, the buttons either scroll up or down depending on the position of the mouse. There are tuts available for AS1 and AS2, but i have yet to see an AS3 tut. (I may have overlooked it.)

I'm looking for a dynamic marquee...
Code:
this.createTextField("scroller_txt", 1, 0, 0, 100, 20);
scroller_txt.border = true;
scroller_txt.speed = 1;
scroller_txt.text = "This is the text that will continuously scroll."+"this is also some text that will scroll";
scroller_txt.spaceSize = scroller_txt.getNewTextFormat().getTextExtent(" ").width;
[Code] .....
And it works pretty good... the only thing thats wrong is the undefined in front of the text. I tried a few things but I cant make it disappear...

This is a marque if you don't know what it is:
<marquee style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial; color: #C0C0C0; font-size: 8 pt">Now this is HTML code, very easy</marquee>
I think it could be done by adding a letter to an dynamic textbox, but how do you take those letters out of a text, i don't want to put each letter in an action script, that's too much work to make or to change

I'm using an old open-source mp3 player (musicplayer.sourceforge.net) on my site because the visual design does not clash with existing colors, etc.The author provides two versions of the player. (ea also has the fla file in case I want to modify it for a different swf) One allows the user to pick from several songs stored in a simple text playlist, and the appropriate album cover is displayed during playback. The other is a "slim" version that is just for playing one song at a time. In the first player,the artist's name (pulled from the playlist) is displayed and then the song title scrolls across while in play. Some additional basic text is stored in an accompanying actionscript 2 file. I have no trouble with this version. The slim version is supposed to do the same thing. However, it continues to marquee text of the player author's name regardless of what I change. I replaced text strings in both the actionscript file and the playlist but the player doesn't seem to extract them.

Usually a song name in music players, like in Winamp for example, song name scrolls from right to left. The only way I can think of is to have 2 dynamic textfields, both having the same text, one next to each other (with desired spacing in between), and then in enter frame or with timer move them both (below the mask) from one side to another, and when each textfiled crossed certain point, move it behind the other and repeat this action forever...

Does anyone know how to make an LED scrolling text effect? This is the best way I can describe it as I don't want scrolling text in the normal way, I want it to be on one line moving right to left with very few characters. Like you might see in an elevator or shop window on an LED scroller.

After 2 days of trying, I was finally able to make a simple scrolling text with the up and down arrows. It is functioning fine, but it scrolls line by line which is kind of cumbersome. I want it to scroll smoothly until the mouse is released. May be some scripting. But I am almost at 0 point when it comes to action scripts.

I am trying to make scrolling text appear on a few screens, so that when I click on a button to go to the next frame the characters of a sentence will appear one after another as if someone is talking. This works a few times however when I go back to the first frame the following error occurs and the text no longer appears??
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at rollingtext_fla::MainTimeline/runthree()
at Function/[URL]::apply()
at SetIntervalTimer/onTimer()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
This is my code basically the same for each new frame
stop()var talkinterval=setInterval(runone,60)var i:Number;
i=0 function runone() { var text:String = "Restrictive signs come in red and blue circles."; text1.appendText(text.charAt(i)); i++; };
b_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nexts)function nexts(e:MouseEvent){ clearInterval(talkinterval) gotoAndStop("h")
}

What is the easiest way to make scrollable text that I can set to whatever font I want (embeded of course)have it look very well anti-aliased; like most Flash text, not like it's being read out of a regular system or browser window. (the text will be big so no probs)have different portions of the text be different colors so I can highlight certain words and leave others aloneuse actionscript to load text content into itmaybe make (all) the text semi transparent for design purposesI'm going to use some action script to load some XML content into the text areas or whatever. Any of you know of any easy ways of accomplishing this? or have a link to any type of tutorial? (at least for Flash CS3 and above of course, along with ActionScript 3)

I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text.
If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link.
Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
