I have a movie clip button with a text box within it. The text box also has a scrollbar component attached. Since the movie clip button has roll-over functionality [ btn.onRollover = function() ], I believe that's taking precedence over the inner scrollbar. I guess this goes back to the common problem of a button inside of a button.

Is there any simple way to scroll a dynamic textbox with easing, without having i scrollbar visible? perhaps something that scrolls when mouseover? Every tutorial i found is with a scrollbar, and still i come across the kind of scroll that doesn't have a scrollbar!
View 1 Repliesdoes anybody know how to include a scrollbar in a textbox?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a textbox with a scrollbar that can contain both text and images? Maybe some sort of ActionScript that has to do with loading external files that contains both text and images? But I presume that if it's going into a textbox, it'd have to be text.. I'd like my content in a textbox though (rather than in a movieclip) so it could be scrollable.
what I'd do is create my page in Fireworks with the text and images. So that way I can assign hyperlinks on keywords. Then the file would be saved as either PNG or HTML. Either way, could Flash import such files into a textbox and still preserve the hyperlinks?
I'm creating a custom scroll bar in flash, I'm following a tutorial for how to code it in I believe AS2. However there are some differences between the outcome I want and the tutorial I'm viewing. What I wished to create was a dynamic text field which relates to a text file outside of flash. The problem I'm having is that in order for my scroll bar to work it needs a set distance to work the percentages out that make it work e.g. if I move the bar down 50% the content would of moved up 50%. Because my field is dynamic it can be any size depending on the content. Any code that can get or measure the Y size, then use that calculated size as a variable to control the percentages of the scroller.
So far I have a few variables that have allowed me to create my scrollbar and restrict it's movement. The problem is that my scrollpane isn't moving, the script I have to get the scroll pane's highest Y co-ordinate is:
var scrollpaneUpper:Number = getProperty(Scrollpane,_height)/-1
So that whatever the height of Y is when the dynamic text is entered the variable will get it and divide by -1 so it's a negative figure that will lift the text field not lower it. The problem is it's not moving with my scrollbar or at all and I'm sure the rest of the code is right. I've got everything moving but the scrollpane isn't picking up the updated data from the dynamic text box. Instead it is taking the original value from the height of the text box which was 25 and is moving it that far, which means lots get's cut off. Is there a way I can update the data entry so it's not 25, it's as large as the text box is autoSized to?
i am trying to do this After you type in textbox A (eg." HAHAHA")And when you pressed a button "submit_mc""HAHAHA" will appear in textbox B i know it involve strings , but i tried my best but i cant figure out

I created a dragable Textbox by attaching a Textbox to a MovieClip. The intention is to be able to modify the text dynamically as a MovieClip. It worked great, at least for some time. But now I experience the following problem: Windows Vista Browsers (IE, Firefox) with Flash 10 are not showing anything or only the MovieClip but no TextBox! Maybe a Flash version issue? Another thing I found might be the reason: "DepthManager classes in version 2"???
Here is the code:

View 1 RepliesI have 31 squares on stage named square1-31. Each square is defined as a movieclip. . Each square has a textbox within it named txtbox1-31.

I need to evaluate the contents of each textbox in each movieclip and if it is not empty, addChild an object to the current square location.

Basically I want to define a variable in a movieclip and then display that in a textbox outside of the movieclip. To be a little more specific I want to make a variable be false and then when a movieclip gets to a certain frame the variable is set to be true. The true will then be displayed in a textbox on the main timeline.

View 1 RepliesFirst time poster and a beginner with flash. I don't know if this is where I should post my questions. I have been trying unsuccessfully for nearly a week now to make a text pop-up. Not sure if that is the correct name of it, but it is one of those "pop-up" text boxes that is draggable, scrollable and close-able that I have seen from other flash sites that are usually attached to a "read more" button. I do have a flash template with a pop up text box but all the "read more" buttons pop up the same text box. I wanted to know how to get a different one to pop up for each button or how to construct one from scratch.

Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3
for(var i:uint = 1; i < 4; ++i)

I have a textfile with:
1. Some text to be loaded into a textbox
2. an url of an image I want to load into a movieclip
Code:
loadVariables("mytextfile.txt", "_root");
urlpic = _root.urlintext;
loadMovie(urlpic, "_root.pic");
This doesn't work, and neither does: url1 = _root.url1.text;
I have a movieclip that I am masking dynamically. The reason for masking the movieclip is because it can be different heights depending on user feedback to some questions. I want to add a scrollbar if the movieclip exceeds the mask area that will allow the user to scroll to see the rest of the movieclip.

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 tried to work on a simple form with Flash Builder 4, but was stuck in creating the dynamic addition of the instance for a textbox and combobox within a Hbox.I have created an HBox component with a textbox and a combo box. I then create a button Add new Row, to add a new row of Hbox on the runtime.
May I know how can I create the add to make it able to add new hbox component on clicking of the button, such that when i click the hbox 3 times, I should have 3 rows of the component instance and the button is still at the bottom of these components?
I have a series of editable text areas in which I want to be able to add a variable on the click of a button.
If I click the button the textarea loses focus and so I cant code which textarea I need to add the variable into. Can anyone think of a way of keeping focus on the textbox, inserting the variable and then allowing the user to carry on typing.
I've been playing around with the setFocus function trying to get this to work with no success.
Here is a snippet of my code:

myText = myText + "<<firstname>>";

I have something that ill explain as simple as possible.
Lets say I have textbox X and textbox Y
Textbox X is an input text of up to 3 numbers only.
Textbox Y is controlled by an up and down button, max 3 numbers.
I have a button that says Calculate, and when pushed, it takes the movie to frame two, where a third textbox Z is present, and i want textbox Z to display textbox X multiplied by Textbox Y
Its almost like a gas pump for your car, petrol is X dollars a litre, then you use Y litres of petrol, so your price (Z) is X multiplied by Y. What would be the code for the multiplication of textbox X and Texbox Y, and then to have textbox Z equal that answer. I am guessing it would be something like
Code:
_root.z == _root.x =* _root.y;
