ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] Custom Scroller - External Source?
Feb 25, 2004
I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on... [URL] (right below the word welcome) I don't want to use the dull custom built in version MX provides cause lets face it, its ugly! and I'd like it to be linked to an external text document. I see this all over the place, so I'm pretty sure this is possible! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I'm guessing a few other people may be interested too!

I tried to look for different tutorials to find the answer, but It didn't work out either...

I want to make a MC that holds various Data such as textfields images maybe a video, ect just basic content, so i want to put that into a MC and be able to scroll it. But i cant figure out how to do this, no tutorials on the internet. And i dont want to use the UIScroller and Scrollpane components as they are highly unnatractive.. It is for a touch enabled device so maybe a gesture could be used? But im sure a Mouse Event would work,

I've created a simple scrolling thumbnails movieclip, with movement based on interacting with the timeline of the MC rather than its position based on the mouse position.
Although the timeline is activated when one moves their mouse to either end of the thumbnail panel, I wanted to include a scroll bar to show how far up or down the user had scrolled.
Now, I wanted to know whether I could make that scroll bar interactive, and drag to change the frame number. The scroller is a motion tween that moves from the top to the bottom of the scroll bar in sync with the thumbnails. Can I make the bar dragable, and tell it to move through the frames as it is dragged up and down?

Building a custom skin for a flash video player but I do not want any play pause button. Instead I want the video scroller to play and pause on a click event. Problem is I want to change the graphics on the scroller to show the user when the video is paused and being played? I have attached the video player FLA file.

I have created a custom multiline item renderer for mx:Tree component. Important to mention that my item renderer has two UITextFields in it. Sometimes (depends of the input data) only one of UITextFields must be shown, so when second UITextField is not needed I hide it and recalculate the height of my item renderer. According to my tests height is calculated properly.The problem occures when I do scroll of my tree. The error text is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I've created a custom video player which links to a specific Video with:
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("videoName.flv");
I have a client who wants multiple players on a page, each playing a different video. The tricky part is that they want to be able to add videos to their website with this custom player on their own, without having to go into the flash file.
Anyone have an idea or where I can find out how to do this? I dont' think XML would work, because it would still have to call a specific node inside flash...and this one swf should be able to work with any .flv they want.

what would be the best way to do the following :
Allow me to briefly sketch the situation i'm in; On my stage i've got a collection of movieclips, each has an unique name. These MC's represent regions of a country on a map.
The most basic task i'd like to achieve is when the user mouse-overs one of these regions, it displays some relative info on the region (Name, size, population etc)
I was thinking about storing this info externally from the fla/swf itself. When the swf lauches it would retrieve the corresponding info for each region.
Having this data outside the swf would make editing and upkeeping it more easy.
I'm leaning towards looking into an XML-file to do this ? (SQL sounds neat but i have no expirience with it)
The Swf would be hosted on a site, but i see it evolve as an AIR-app in the future.

Im making a component for a companies wesite, it is simple enough they want a list of phrases to be displayed one at a time in random order... not a problem. Its just that they want to be able to update the phrases themselves = external txt file to populate the array. I dont work with arrays often enough so I was wondering if someone could tell me the way to populate an array using values in an external txt file.

How to load variables from an external source? For example, Lets say I have a movieclip that contains 6 keyframes, and I want flash to load the proper keyframe when the main swf is opened. Flash knows what the proper keyframe is, because that variable is stored in a MySQL database, or txt file, or xml file, or whatever. Also, how could i have flash write to an external file, so that i can save the changes.

Using Flash CS4 professional And Action-script 3.0 I am currently working on an mp3 player in flash.I have my main fla file in my root folder.Also in my root folder is a folder names 'source_files'Inside the 'source_files' folder there is.A folder named 'songs' (which holds several mp3 files) and a text file named track_list.txt The text in track_list.txt is set out as follows (example values used).
//song1
//song2
Where '//' represents the start of the name of each song.
From within the project I have a code that loads track_list.txt and uses the split function to split the loaded data into an array before adding 'source_files/songs' to the beginning of each index of the array.

I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).

I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.

Is there a external-source-path option available in Flex compiler similar to external-library-path? My requirement is that, I am building a "SWC" file but I don't want to include certain folders inside my 'src' folder as these are anyway available in my other application during run time. (Trying to be resource constraint). So, I want to use these folders during compilation but do not want to include them in the generated "SWC" file.
