ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrollbar Not Scrolling Dynamically Loaded SubMovies
Jul 18, 2010
I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
[Code] .....

To just add the articles will only make the page load slower so I used a scrollbar with a textfield and added text and pics to the article to scroll it. This works fine but I need a way where the scroll can call different textfields or movieclips. For instance, the main scroll opens with a textfield that scrolls articles 15 thru 10. I need on the bottom of the page buttons that link articles 9 thru 5 and so on. So when you click a button the textfield or movieclip changes and displays what is in that textfield or mc. I have looked for a tutorial, a video or anything on this and besides coming up with Flash 5 similar mentions but nothing to this point
That said, I would like to alter some of the code to allow the thumbnail scrollbar to begin scrolling once the page has loaded. Here is what the code looks like as it is right now.
I have a small issue going on. I created a dynamic scrollbar which scrolls dynamically loaded XML text. But it's not scrolling..You can view it here:(Click Start, 2 times the right arrow, then the book, to the righthand side there is a scrollbarI have divided my Scrollbar into 3 classes, the actual scrollbar, the scrollbar custom event and the scrollbar including content and mask.This is the actual scrollbar:
I followed the tutorial for Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text & its works well. The problem I am experiencing I have a limited about of space in my movie for the text box. The text file has all the data that I need to display but for some reason I only see a portion of the information & I can't seem to figure out my mistake.
I'm fairly new to action script so this might be me being simple but: I followed the Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text tutorial and added it to my flash movie and although it works perfectly in the tests and once published once it loads in the browser all I get is the word undefined at the top of the text box. I've searched all over for a solution but as I said my understanding of action script is fairly limited.
I have a text box which dynamically loads the information from a .txt file. I want to scroll the text, with buttons that I have made(not the component scroll bar that comes with Flash MX), up and down through the text I have. I've tried many different scripts, and none seem to work. Is there a good concise walkthrough for this anywhere?
Is there any way to alter the fonts and font sizes WITHIN the bulk of text?ie. If I wanted to have a header in one font, and the rest of the text in another.Rif I wanted to add a url hyperlink.I did a site for a friend, and used the dynamically loaded textboxes so he could update it himself by just changing the .txt file.At the moment all the scrolling textboxes are in one font. I would love to be able to change this, and even more, would love for my friend himself to be able to mix different fonts and update it himself
I have some actionscript, and it scrolls the scrollRect, but there is a catch. It doesn't completely scroll it. It lets me scroll down until it's halfway and stops. I can still scroll up to the top, but the problem is unerving. I can't find a fix for it.
I have made a custom scroll bar, using tlf text converted to a movie clip that measures 903px tall. I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up. The button will go back to its place at the top of the scroll bar, but the movie clip only scrolls back up about two thirds of the way.I don't get any errors when I test the file, and I've permitted debugging in the hopes it would find an obvious mistake to no avail.Here's the code:
ActionScript Code: // Scroll My Content function - AS3 function scrollMyContent()[code]..........
I'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 have created a custom scrollbar for some dynamic text ("services_txt") under a movieclip ("servicestext_mc" with the instance name services_mc). The name for the scroller is scroller_mc.
The scrollbar works fine, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the text box. I keep getting error message 1120: Access of undefined property services_txt.
I've tried scrolling my text several ways and seem to keep getting this error - I have a feeling it's because I've inputted the text manually and forgot to do something, instead of using an external text loader. Here is the code I've inputted:
var scrollPercent:Number = 0; var minScroll:Number; var maxScroll:Number;
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; [Code] .....
Look at e.g. [URL]. When the site loads, the section in the middle contains a scrollbar that scrolls the text with easing. However, the scrollbar itself appears to be the scrollbar component from Flash itself. Is this something that is maybe readily available in MX 2004? Or should this be scripted manually?
I'm having trouble with my scroller only scrolling when it gets to the bottom of the path. This is from the tut on this site [URL]. Here is the actionscript I have for each mc:
I've made classes to manage scrollers, scrollbuttons, sliders/scrollbars & co. All fine. Now I'd like to have my scrollbars to dynamically adapt to the scollbox's content height (or width). Just like the browser scrollbars (or more in general, ordinary applications). Do you maybe know what's the right path to follow to do it? How can I determine for example, the min and max height that my scrollbar can reach?
I created a dynamic textbox with an instance and wrote a script to load text into the textbox during runtime. Everything is works fine. But the client wants some words to italicize and can't find a solution for this. Check my script below.[code]...
I'm trying to display a custom component i made inside a panel but when it renders the content is displayed outside of the panel box and there's no scrollbar.a panelan instance of myComponent inside the panela button that calls a method on myComponent that adds some controls into itWhen i run the application and press the button the following is displayed:See that the controls added dynamically in myComponent get over the panel's bottom line instead of showing only the visible part of the component and a scrollbar.
I have been stuck on this for far too long. I think it's simple so I must be misunderstanding something. I want these to display across the full width of my flash app. When I shrink the width of the flash player I want a scrollbar to appear. At the moment no scroll bar is appearing.
I have 2 ScrollPane comps into which I dynamically load MC's which are large enough to trip the vertical scrollBar ..1st load all is fine .. 2nd load 1 SP has vertical scroll the other doesn't ..it doesn't matter what MC's are loaded ..
// IN Parent MC stop()var AudCh:SoundChannelvar AudFile:Stringvar Audio:Soundvar AudPos:Numbervar CRF_Array = new Array()var Domain:Stringvar [code]....
If you choose to try .. some instructions are in order ..
1. Next to begin
2. Matching Source Document = "The CRF is the source document"
3. 2 errors = initals and date on bottom of CRF sheet ..
I've used this script: [AS] fscommand("allowscale", "false"); _root.main.attachMovie("boxContect", "boxContect", 1) bar.useHandCursor = false; space = 20; friction = 0.9; speed = 4; [Code] .... If I try to load some thing dynamically into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, it doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.
I am trying to increase the height of container with increase in the number of contents inside the container. Like in my case i m using tileList inside tabNavigator , when I put contents inside the tileList, the height of tileList does not increase beyond vertical height of the viewport. It puts scrollbar on the container. I want to increase the height of an flex container with increase in the contents and introduce scrollbar on the browser with increase in contents in the flex container.
How to change the scrollbar component dynamically in flash MX 2004(AS2.0),i attached scrollbar component but need code to change the color of that scroll bar. "this.attachMovie("UIScrollBar","myscrollbar",2,{h orizontal:false, _targetInstanceName:"mytext"});" -by this code only i attached it
I'm working on a project that uses a loader to load up a swf, then display the loader in an area using a mask and a scrollbar to scroll through the content. The content in this project will change regularly, including the dimensions of the swf file (vertical dimension only, I'm not worried about horizontal scrollbars with this question).The problem I'm running into is I can't figure out a proper formula to get the scrollbar to position the content at it's bottom when the scrollbar is at the bottom What I have now is close, but not exact. If you scoll to the bottom, the bottom of the content would scroll up too high, leaving an empty 'blank' space where the content should be. I have an if statement checking for this currently, but this creates a 'dead zone' at the bottom of the scroll bar where the content is already at the bottom, and the scroll bar can continue to scroll down a bit.oes anyone know what I'm doing wrong here in the math to get a good scrolling going, regardless of the size of the content loaded by the loader?Here is what I have so far:
I recently purchased a scrollbar from the exchange marketplace and it works beautifully within it's own swf but as soon as I load it into a second swf (the main "start movie") it doesn't work. When I click on it to scroll, the tracker sticks to my pointer (like a mouse follower) and won't release until I click on a button leading me into another movie. The scrollbar component came with an external caurina file which is where I think the issue is coming from. I think it's having trouble finding the associated code when inside the second movie. I've tried all sorts of parent vs root scripts to try and get it to jump a level to recognize the source of the original code.
I made a scrollbar class that works pretty well. I'm trying to come up with an idea for how to set to the height of the scrollbar vs the height of the scrolling content. This is a standard thing that happen in the OS. Seems there should be a minimum number and the maximum value should be reached as the size of the content approaches the size of the visible area.
