ActionScript 2.0 :: MCs Scroll Across Screen Like Ticker Tape?
Apr 26, 2010
I've been trying to figure this out myself for 2 weeks and just can't get it. I have done this the non-actionscript way by making each movieclip move across stage with motion tweening, but I know it would be much more efficient and easier to modify if it was all actionscript.(To see example, look at bottom of my company's Web pagehave cobbled some code and think I know how to create the MCs and animate them across the screen: (note eventually this will include 50 logos, but to figure this out I'm starting with just three--logo1, logo2, logo3)
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
container._x = 550;
container._y = 150;

I am going to attempt to make a Banner Ticker-Tape style .swf for my bands website. It will host News and Gig information, BUT I want the other band members to be able to update the information. At the moment we use myspace for our gig listing for example and rather than changing the info multiple times I was wondering wether there was a simple way to extract the gig listing from our bands myspace for use in Flash?

I'm trying to create a 'tickertape' (horizontal scrolling text that reloads and loops in a masked window once finished playing). At the moment for visual purposes I have generated the following. This is linking to a movieclip at the moment but doesn't loop once finished... it just keeps incrementally scrolling until it probaby ends up in infinity somewhere...

I have been working on a dynamic loading news ticker for a site and have been running into two separate problems:
The first, creating a movie clip, inserting the following code:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;
myTextField_txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
[Code] .....
And having the clip load the text from the text file listed. In this version, everything is working fine except I don't have the ability to change the font, size, and color of the text using only flash and the text document, (to my understanding).
The second, creating two .fla files, one with the embedded font I want to display named font.fla, and the other blank named fontloader.fla. Also create an .as file in the folder with the following code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code] .....
In this second scenario, the problem is that I can't figure out a way to make the dynamic text scroll vertically and loop, (Was trying to figure out a way to save the fontloader.fla as a movie clip, then importing it into a new .fla and just using a motion tween on the clip, but so far I'm confused by it). This second scenario is also not my first choice, because loading the text straight from a text file would make the news section very easy to update for those who don't have any design experience.

I made an 11 minute movie in flash that has no interactivity, but does have video, photographs, drawings, and some visuals generated in flash, including text. The document size is presently 1280 x 640. Now I have to prepare the movie for Beta SP and HDCAM for projection in a cinema. The transfer house wants a file with Apple ProRes4444 codec. What would be the procedure to get the best image quality? This could include starting over in After Effects. Really, I never thought I would be showing the movie under these circumstances, or this big.

I have a graphic that I want to scroll from right to left across the screen. I want the graphic to loop, not when finished, but when the right edge of the graphic hits the right edge of the screen.

I have some problem with movieclips. What i want to get is something like an image scroller with design of movie tape. The number of slides (in this movie tape) depends on number of nodes in xml, and ech slide should load external image and to be a hyperlink to a specified in xml url.
Everything is clear except this. How can i assign to every movieclip a design of a slide of the movie tape
I can prepare such a movieclip, i can duplicate it, but how can i every duplicate slide connect with a node in xml? i can easy make a slide by slide basing on xml, but how can i then assign the design?

I've a flash games site, and Im having a lot of difficulties to make it show in internet explorer 8.When you are playing any flash, the arrow keys that should belong to the flash scroll the page up and down (probably left and right too). This was happening in both ie7 and ie8.I placed the flash inside an iframe, that fixed to IE7, but the problem persists on IE8.If I change the flash wmode from transparent to window, the page stops scrolling, but this breaks all my menus and banners, that get hidden behind the flash when they expand.How can I place a flash, with wmode transparent, and make arrow keys work in the expeted way in IE8?

I'm using Flash CS5 on Windows 7. I was working on a file and went to save (CTRL+S) and the Save dialog locked up and Windows gave me an error that said "Flash has stopped working. Close Program" So I did and restarted Flash. When I tried to open the file I was working on, Flash said "Unexpected File Format" The file size of the SWF is right, it's not 0kb or anything. This is about 3 weeks worth of work on here. I'm checking the backup tape for our company server, but that will still set me back about half a day (which is better than nothing I suppose)

I have a news scroller which is working apart from one thing: The end of the text string does not quite scroll completely off the screen - it disappears into thin air near the end and THEN starts scrolling from right to left again. How do I make it so the text scrolls completely off the screen before returning?

How do I accomplish the Flash scroll bar that is on the following website?[URL]..Since the site is non scalable and at full screen IE doesn't scroll. On this website they have created a scrollbar in flash aligned to the right side of the screen that accomplishes the same thing as the IE scrollbar. But it looks so much cooler.

I've pretty much finished my site... [URL]. The problem with this is that with someone who has a lower resolution, the movie tends to get cropped. Since I have the movie set at 100% width and height the scroll bars don't exist. I'm trying to make built in scroll bars in flash that will activate when the movie gets cropped as such. I only need them for a few pages. I'm not sure if I am going about this the easiest way..I know you can do it if it was just one movieclip but the site is alot more complicated than just one movieclip.
For skills_mc I have a class..
mc_skills.as
Actionscript Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import FluidLayout.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
[Code] .....
It's throwing a ton of errors..
1017: The definition of base class Movieclip was not found.

have a question. Is it possible to detect whether the user used or is using ctrl+scroll to enlarge the screen? I was looking at an example of a mouse avoiding game, which could easily be cheated on using ctrl+scroll, so that the passages were larger etc.
Is there any way to detect this inside Flash, and perhaps prevent it?

I am able to create the effect I want using text fields, but when using movie clips and the EXACT code, it doesn't do anything. Here is the code: (sorry kinda long)

I have a movieClip, with other movieClips inside of it, objects that I want when hit to lose points. But when I have the movieClips inside that one, it just has a giant "boundry box". I want the points to go down when you hitting only one of those items,instead it just goes does throughout the entire thing.
There is no way for me to scroll all those objects across the screen without either making a tween on the main timeline for each object (almost 20), or somehow making a giant movieClip scroll all of them all the way across, bypassing the first boundry box, and acknowledging the movieClips.

I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.
