I've got a scrollpane (the UI component), inside wich I've got an mc. How could I "talk" to that mc inside the scroller? I ask this because the scrolled mc ha no instance name, but comes straight from the library, so something like this wont work:
scroller.myMc.play()
I am using ScrollPane component of as2.0, but I want to move the scrollPane left an right by clicking external button does it possible? this button can work like the functionality of LeftArrow anf RightArrow in scroll pane.
View 1 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

View 0 RepliesIn the first frame of my main movie I include a AS file. In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named 'shoutbox_holder'. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips 'window1', 'window2'.. also from the library. This works very well, because I see the mc's in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder
|_window1
window2
window3
..
I want the 'shoutbox_holder' to attach to a scrollpane, so I did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the library to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert 'shoutbox_holder' (pointing to the mc created in the as file). But this will not work 'I already tried different paths' but nothing!
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?

I have an XML file that loads into flash and is dynamically displayed on the stage. What I cannot figure out is how to add a scroller to the movieclip so that when the data from the XML file is larger (overlaps the stage) then the content would be scrollable. I have checked and searched for about 1-2 hours and have came up with nothing.
View 5 RepliesI have a ScrollPane component to stage and I give it as source a new MovieClip instance. How can I access the movieclip inside scrollpane? This is what I have so far but it returns null:
var regForm = new RegistrationForm();
regForm.name = "rForm";
regFormSP.source = regForm;
var form = Object(regFormSP.content).getChildByName("rForm");
trace(form) // returns null
[Code]..
There is an object "instance20" as a parent to rForm...Why is that?
I need to get my main swf A to tell the swf B (swfB is my scrollpane content or source) to gotoAndStop at frame 2 but it doesn't communicate.Here is my code on my main swfA:
Code:
function xbutton (e:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop("p1");MovieClip(sp.content).gotoAndStop(2);}
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, xbutton);
Here is my code on frame 2 in swfB:
Code:
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
to better visualise what i am doing; swfA is my website with lots of pages, swfA has one page* that holds my scrollpane, inside my scrollpane is swfB with a flPlayback (*this page is the tv page). when I exit the tv page to another page on my website the tv must stop. swfB has my flPlayBack on frame 1, frame 2 is blank (no tv).
Ps: The code in swfB works fine independently! I know this because tested it by adding a button (when pressed it goes to frame 2 and the code does stop the tv).
I have attached a movieclip with several frames on it. Onclick of a button I change the frame of the movieclip and stops it.
Code:
_mv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(_e:Event){
MovieClip(_scp.content).gotoAndStop(_frm);
});
But the scrollbars are not adjusting according to the height of the content. How can I do that.
I have setup a flash MovieClip with a scrollpane in it, and another MovieClip that run's a FOR loop to create a list of buttons dynamically. I have the script pull the dynamic MovieClip and load it as a source to the scrollPane but the scrollbars are not appearing. To make sure that the scrollpane was working, I added an event listener to the scrollpane that when I clicked it it will run scrollPane.invalidate() and the scrollbars will pop on.
So here's my problem/question: If I'm dynamically adding a listMC to this scrollPaneMC, how do I get listMC to throw the invalidate() to the parent scrollPaneMC? Here's another way to look at it: Root adds a child scrollPaneMC. ScrollPaneMC uses listMC as a source from the library. listMC run's its FOR loop and dynamically creates a list and appears in the scrollPaneMC, but no scrollbars.
I have a MC that is too tall for my stage and want to place it inside a ScrollPane. The probelm is accessing functions inside the MC. I have tried scrollpane.content.mc.function but that doesn't work. How do you access a mc inside tghe scrollpane?
View 12 RepliesI have a Scrollpane with a movie clip inside of it and am trying to link to a frame in a parent movie clip and keep getting an error. I am linking it the same way I do any other links. I was using this code.
stop();

//-------------Home Button
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("home");

Is there something special I have to do because its linking to a frame FROM a scrollpane? Never done this one before.
how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}

^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this
valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun();
But it returns error #1006
How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
I'm in desperate need of some help here. I've been working on a website for months and I'm so near the end, but I just need to rectify one problem (and judging by my google searches for the past two days, it seems to be quite a common problem). I'm pretty much a novice/beginner when it comes to actionscript and need some help to figure this out.I have a movie clip (called 'CLvertlist_mc') which is simply some text and buttons. This movie clip has been placed inside a scrollpane, which sits inside another movie clip ('Client list 2'). Also sitting inside 'Client list 2' is a third movie clip called 'clientlist_mc', which has a few different labelled frames in it.Now, I want to get the buttons in 'CLvertlist_mc' to link to the labelled frames in 'clientlist_mc'. At the moment I've put an actions layer in 'Client list 2' with the following actionscript:[code]'clb_cch' is the instance name of one of the buttons in 'CLvertlist_mc', and 'SM' is one of the frame labels in 'clientlist_mc'. I keep getting a 1120 'access of undefined property' error.

im currently working on building a search app which allows filtering of a list of products.
NOTE: shift+leftClick to drag and reorder the lists, just left click to use scrollbars and buttons.

ActionScript Code:

holding shift and clicking allows you to drag the scroll panes into a different order. clicking one button in each of the scroll panes works fine. if you try clicking a second button in either of the scroll panes you will notice you have to click twice.
I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..
