ActionScript 2.0 :: Scroll Animation As External SWF?
May 28, 2007
I am having a problem incorperating some scrolling text as an external SWF. As it's own movie file, the scroller works fine, but one the file is exported and used as an external SWF with the container method, the scroller does not work.
The text shows up, but the up and down buttons do not work. Can anyone lend me a hand, show me a different way of scrolling that is legit and will work, or suggest another method to do this?
Use the index.zip located at [URL] if you want to look at the .fla files.

I am loading a different external SWF into each one using Load External SWF behavior.Although each SWF is a different file, they are exact copies of each other (have exact same functionality); all 3 are text boxes with both scrollbar scrolling and mousewheel scrolling.Problem is, when on the stage at the same time, they all three respond to mousewheel scroll at the same time. I need them each to respond to users' mousewheel scroll only if the mouse is over the respective area (so that way they don't all scroll at the same time).The file was developed for me and the developer is not available at this time.

I am currently using the code below on a scroll that can go up and down depending on the ymouse. The problem I am having is that when the movie loads through html it will not scroll until you mouse over it. It's like the movie is paused. If I remove the onEnterFrame it scrolls fine without issue but the rest is broken and it basically does nothing but scroll. I do not have it checked to pause at start. It does preview fine within a flash preview.
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root._ymouse<50) {
scroll.prevFrame();
scroll.prevFrame();
scroll.prevFrame();
scroll.prevFrame();

I have been trying to create a animation with horizontal scroll to begin on mouseOver. There are a set of 8-10 swfs movie, which I am calling though a xml file into the main scroll movie clip. I would like to animate and call the swfs in such a way that they drop into the screen and stay on a 800px width movie screen, on mouseOver the horizontal scroll should begin.I have seen a lot of threads for the sroll, in all the threads the movie is scrolling and on MouseOver it stops.

I have successfully implemented a seek/slider bar into my Flash (Professional) 8 movie, but I'm having a small problem with it. On the stage, I have Movie Clip (instance name: MovieF) as well as this slider to control where you are in the MovieF clip. It let's you scroll back and forth during the animation, but unfortunately the dragger (the thing that indicates where you are on the seekbar timeline) does not move with the animation. From the start, it stays fixed. You can move it around with the mouse but, of course, when you release it, it stays where you left it instead of moving to the right side of the bar. What I can add to this to make the drager move along the bar at the same rate as the placed movie clip?
Here's my code (Note that MovieF is the name of the placed movie clip the bar is controlling):
var interval:Number = bar._width/MovieF._totalframes;
var frame:Number = 0;
MovieF.play();
dragger.onPress = function() {

Can RSS Feeds be inserted into Flash?

I've created a dynamic text box with buttons to scroll the text up and down. I'm not using the component that comes in flash mx. If I hard code text into the box, my scrolling functionality works. Now I've tried to take it a step further and load the text from an external .txt file using the following code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

I have a flash movie with text and images, and I want to make a vertical scroll bar - however the catch is that I want to make that scroll bar in a seperate SWF, so that you can place the two side by side and they both work?

I know how to load external text, but I am trying to have it load into a masked movie clip so then I can use a custom scroller to scroll the text up and down. The problem is that I can't get the scrollbar to scroll the text at all. If I just put in type in text into the movie clip, it scrolls fine. I have checked my paths and everything is correct...

Is there any way that can I scroll text from an external .txt file BUT to include links IN the text that will make an action to be performed?
I mean... loading external text that by clicking on a word or phrase an onRelease action can be assigned to it.
an example I've seen is in tobymac.com in the news menu , the scrapbook section. the text is loaded from external file and it have an action. It works just as any button in flash

I had some dynamic text with a scroll bar and it was working fine. Then I decided to use HTML formatting and bring it in through an external .txt file using the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
} myLoadVars.load("ContactText.txt");
The text is loading fine except that my scrollbar has now disappeared and you can only see the first few lines of text.

I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar

Can i control the animation(i.e. play/stop) of an external swf that was created in macromedia flash professional 9 or older version using actionscipt 3.
I have earlier loaded swf files created in flash CS3 and controlled their animation in the parent swf by calling the play() and stop() methods.
But when i use the same code in case the loaded content was created in flash professional 9 or earlier version, the play() and stop() methods dont work.

I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

i load three external swf files into my flash movie, here's the code:
import flash.display.*
var screens:Array = new Array(
'screens/left.swf',
'screens/center.swf',
'screens/right.swf'
);
[Code]...
everything works just fine with my three dummy swf's, but when i try to load an swf file that uses some kind of animation (for example a motion tween), the swf isn't displayed any more... is there a way around this?

I'm quite fond of the "Copy Motion as Actionscript 3.0" feature. I think it's pretty neat. However, the XML-based animation only works when the XML variable is in the code. I'm trying to make it so where I can place the XML-based animation tags in an external XML file, and then load it into the application. I prefer to have it this way as opposed to having the XML tags hardcoded into the app.
Here is the XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Motion duration="30" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">

I feel this could be pretty basic for you guys. Here's the deal: I need an external swf to check a var's value and decide how to animate. If value == "something" then animate in like this, else, animate in like that. Now, a file is loaded with LoadManager class, and a function from this class sends a string to the loaded swf, and based on that string it animates out. I've tried to make the same function set a public var's value inside the LoadMangaer class, but i can't acces it from the external swf.
It will probably make sence when you look at the fla and the LoadManager class, so here's the attachment.Hope you can help, I've been dwelling on this for ages. Tnx a million.

I have a few animations that run on different scenes each time a scene is loaded the external audio should start with it. Well here is the thing the animation always starts before my audio files and each scene gets bugged. I need to create an action that only allows my scene to start with the audio and also starts loading the next audio so it wont be dellayed.
On the first scene I have the following code:
scene 1 frame 1
var autoPlay:Boolean;
if(!autoPlay){
stop();}
scene 1 frame 2 animation starts and audio 1 loads
import flash.media.Sound;

I have an external .swf lib that I load using Loader class. I can get the content of it (images, text) using:
new (loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDef inition(symbol) as Class)();
Then I use it to load a .swf (that I generated using Flash CS3 trial) inside that .swf lib:
var mc:MovieClip = new (loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDef inition(symbol) as Class)();
I use addChild(mc) and the animation is displayed! So far so good, but the gotoAndStop, gotoAndPlay, stop and play, getting totalFrames, functions simply does not works!!!

I'm currently doing a script in which I have to preload some external resources (jpgs) at the begining of the animation.I dynamicaly create my MCs in which I do my loadmovies. Classical.Now the thing is, a few frames later, I need to reuse the images I have preloaded in other MCs.The thing is there seems to be a problem in using dynamicaly created MCs, here is why this is weird :
- I import a MC from the library : I can duplicate it, and I *see* it on the animation
- the MC that I have created, that I *see* on the animation, doesn't want to be duplicated : by that I mean that when I duplicate it, it can't be seen.
Now if there is a simple explanation for that, I have another question : I have an empty MC in which I want to *copy* one of the very MCs that I have dynamicaly created at the beginingn what is the best method ? attachMovie ? doesn't seem to work, but yet again, all this might be related.
