Does anyone know how you can go about applying a scroll bar to a static text box? The reason that I don't want to use a dynamic text box is that I can't specify a font and have it actually publish that font.

View 1 RepliesI have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.

View 0 RepliesI'm building a site and I would like to add a scrollbar to a text area that swaps out xml text files. Currently, I have up and down arrows to scroll the text, but I would like to have an actual scrollbar instead since there is a lot of text in some of the sections. Here is a link to the current version of the site with the up and down arrows: [URL]
I can make the scrollbar work just fine if I put the text in the first frame, but whenever I set it up to call on text files, then the scroll bar won't work. Obviously, I'm pretty new at Flash. I've attached an FLA with the text box.

View 3 RepliesI have a scrollbar, this charge some external text, but the trouble is the next. I charge different text in the same text box when i move the scroll to down and charge another text the scroll continue in the same position i left the last time.

View 1 RepliesHow do you mix static and dynamic text in one sentence?I want to display This audio is ::totaltime:: minutes long.Where ::totaltime:: is a variable determined in the ActionScript 2 codeCan I do this in a text box on the stage or does it need to be done in ActionScript 2? (I'm not using AS3, even though I'm in CS3.)If it's in AS2, I'm not used to outputting text from there, so how do I specify that the text be embedded Helvetica, 12pt, black, and starting at x:0, y:65 ?
View 1 RepliesI converted a static text field to a mc then thirty frames later inserted a keyframe and droped the mc's alpha to zero.. then created a motion tween between the keyframes... yet for some reason the text isnt fading when I test the movie... it works fine in the flash authoring environment as you click through the frames but it doesnt in the test movie mode.. any suggestions? ( i broke the text apart down to shapes and it worked fine, but that of course will cause indexing problems for content with google so this really isnt an option)
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function

View 1 Repliesin flash how to give a link on static text with the mouse over=underline effect....
View 1 RepliesI have an odd situation where the static text each within a mc for a menu are shifting slightly up and down despite having the exact same rounded x/y values throughout on the timeline in the properties box. There are a few frames on the timeline where they are contained within another movieclip to fade them in, and when I zoom in and make sure they line up exactly, they are fine, but when I play the movie back at various magnifications within the authoring environment and as an exported swf, they randomly shift slightly. Sometimes they randomly shift, and other times at the same magnification they don't at all when replayed back again. It's making me pull my hair out and grind my teeth because I don't know if I am dealing with a known bug or (more likely) my ignorance. I know there is a better way of doing this all with action script, but honestly I am not there yet by a long shot, unless someone could direct me to a proper tutorial.
View 5 RepliesI have created a static text in my FLA file and for some reason when I convert it to a movieclip symbol, my setting of the text - such as the letter spacing - are no longer. It scrunches together and looks pixelated. Any knowledge as to why? It was not doing this a while ago but I don't see what I have changed!
