I have made a map which I have made scrollable across the stage using the keyboard arrow keys.
e.g:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(39)) {
_x=_x-4;
[Code]....
These on screen buttons allow the user to move the map every time they click however it would be more user friendly if these buttons continued to move the map on a hold down state until released or via rolling on/off.
Envrironment: Flash CS3, AS3 I have a horizontal image scrolling project that I am working on, and it works but is not super smooth, I would like it to be smoother when it scrolls, and realize that this is a function of pixels scrolled over time and the FPS of the document.
Right now I am moving the items 1 pixel at a time on a timer with delay of 8 to get it to scroll at the speed I want. I am moving it at 1 pixel in order to catch exactly when an object should wraparound to the beginning of the scroller to show up again. So I don't know that I can really change the number of pixels moved to more than 1 and still have the images spaced perfectly, which makes me think I need to increase or decrease the FPS and or the timer delay to make it scroll smoother. Right now it is at 30FPS and as mentioned the timer delay is 8. Small changes to the delay is not a problem.
This is one aspect of flash i don't fully understand. I would really like to know how to figure this out so I can apply it to future projects as well without doing trial and error to make it smooth. Can it be function, like a way to figure out I need to move a 120pixel picture 60 pixels in 2 seconds, what should my FPS be and the picture size and movement size and number of seconds can be variables?
I'm creating a website and I need to have a slideshow of scrolling pictures (not interactive to user) and I know how to do it with the old motion tweening but when I play the movie the scrolling pic is not smooth but choppy. I already played around with frames and frame rates; the image scrolls faster or slower but the choppines remains. Here is an example of what im looking to do: **Notice how the picture of the bed scrolls smoothly when the site loads. [URL]
I know that for this site they probably used the "ease" effect and that works when the image is gonna stay still at the end but for my movie the images are gonna be scrolling up,down,left,right in a loop. Can you guys tell me how can I do this without the movie being choppy? perhaps there's a way to do it with code.
I'm making a side scrolling platformer and I wonder why image movement is so choppy, especially if velocities arent whole numbers? Images I'm using are: one 320*350, one 500*500 and few of 50*50 all in PNG format with alpha support and cached as bitmap. Framerate is 30FPS.
View 1 Repliesbelow is a link to a super simple movie that I have of text scrolling/moving horizontally across the screen.The only issue I have is at the quality of the scroll/movement. it is inconsistently jerky, sometimes when it first starts getting on the screen and leaving the screen sometime all the time and sometimes when it leaves the screen.I have had this issue with other movies and scrolling things across the screen horizontally I had to increase the frame rate to 30 fps and extend the time line but it never really got to be a smooth scroll.
View 1 RepliesIs there any way that i can smooth out images that zoom in/out with normal classic tween. they are so jittery it looks terrible. I even have a little bit of easing and frames per second set to 30.

I am trying to adjust the speed of the scroll box. It is a little too quick. I am not sure where to start.....I tried adjusting the button (_root.TextBox.scroll -= 1;) but it won't accept any smaller numbers. Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 1 RepliesI started known about FLASG a few day ago. I am very, very interesting about its.
My boss want i make a text display in bottom screen and scrolling from right to left (same as display on TV). But, i used to keyframe to solved this solution but they are slowly and not smooth. Now i want text display running smoother. I not good at Flash .I am programmer , C# is my programming language.
I'm just fine tuning my flash site and am trying to get my custom scroller to scroll my text smoothly.
Basically I am using scrollertext.scrollV [URL] to scroll my text inside a function but scrollV is an int and flash performs vertical scrolling per lines. My text is quite large in some areas and the scroller is very 'non smooth'. How else can I achieve a smooth scrolling effect (would be nice to scroll in pixel values not line values) ?

Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?
Here's the scenario... I have an .swf that is 1050px in height. On most browser's that is too tall. What I'd like to do, is use the browser's scroll bars to auto scroll to the bottom of the page during the loading sequence, and then scroll back up to the top. To do this, I'll need to make a javascript function call using ExternalInterface.call();
I found a suitable smooth scrolling javascript example on the internet. [URL] By clicking <a href> links, it scrolls to HTML anchors on the page. I figured that instead of clicking on the textual links like in that example, I could simulate the event by calling the event from flash. I'm just not sure how to do it exactly.

View 2 RepliesI have some code which moves back and forth through my menu so that it scrolls in relation to where the mouse is on teh screen. The problem is that I cant get it to scroll smoothly and is a little jerky... I want to ass maybe some smoothness or maybe a little lag to it so it just seems more smooth. I have pasted the main code I have so far below.. I am using AS3 at the moment.

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;

I'd really like some feedback on how you create that smooth scrolling action on sites like electrongeek.net.
View 1 RepliesI am making a webTV player, and I have a combobox displaying the entries. When scrolling the combobox, the scrolling jumps between the entries. I would like to have it scroll though the entries smoothly and not jump.
View 1 RepliesI have a circular mc (wheel2) and this should rotate 'smooth' in steps of 45º, to the left and to the right (buttons).The script I use on the button (right);
on(release){var rotate:Function = function (obj:MovieClip) { obj._rotation += 3; if (obj._rotation == 45) { clearInterval(interval); } }; var interval:Number = setInterval(rotate, 10, wheel2); stop(); }
It moves ok 'once' then it spins 360º. Should I set a new value for my mc?
I want to make an animation which interacts to the overstates of different buttons, but I want the animation to tween between the different states without reseting to a defaut when the mouse cursors off of the button. Another way of saying it is that I want the animation's instances to smoothly transition from one button to the next, no matter what order the buttons are cursored over.
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.
I have several layers of scrolling BGs via action script. In between these layers are a set of simple buttons made via "button" symbols. Within the stage, the buttons are recognized, however, when I test the movie, the buttons are not recognized/activated by the cursor. My guess is that the scrolling BGs that are on top of everything else (NOT added via "addChild" in a blank movie clip below all other layers) are somehow "blocking" my cursor from reading the simple buttons "below" them.
For the visual aspect of the project, the scrolling BGs are needed both "below" and "above" the buttons, so I need a work-around for simple button use in this multi-level scrolling BG environment. (just to clarify, by "above" and "below" I dont mean vertically above and below, but rather "layered" above and below, so as to "cover" eachother).
Anyhow, I have a few buttons (six of them) to scroll from left to right non-stop via looping. Those buttons are in the up state. What I want to achieve is that when someone hovers over one of the buttons, the entire scrolling temporarily stops and perhaps the hovered button becomes larger as well. I'm sure you've seen something similar on ebay listings before shown as slideshows.
my Over buttons are managed via movie clips, but not the Up state buttons.
Has anyone got an example of scrolling images as buttons. I been trying to use scrolling images as buttons to access pages on the main timeline but haven't got it to work one bit, plus a lot of the tuts I find aren't for AS3.
View 1 RepliesI need to scroll a text (only in the center of the page, the top and bottom don't move) with 2 arrows(up and down), but in this text, some words are buttons leading to other keyframes. and this text is in different colors and is formatted.
could I load a text in html and make the links in the html?
So below is my code for a project I'm working on. I'm having some trouble though. I got the code for the scrolling menus online from another forum, but I can't figure out where that was. In any case, the current version of the code allows for the scrolling to happen when I open the page displays (enter Frame). But I can't figure out how to get the scrolling to happen only when I hover over the menu. I only want each one to scroll when I hover over the menu, not when I get on the page. I tried to replace the "enterFrame" part of the code, but it didn't work right. I need this done ASAP.

I have a HBox and I dynamically add Buttons into it. I want to distribute such buttons horizontally, however I would like to place there on more rows if there is not anymore horizontal space, instead of seeing the scrolling bar.How can I do that ?
