I saw the tutorial for the typing effect of Text. I just want a little enhancement. Do you know how to add a scrollbar in case the text overflowed to the bounds of the supposedly text field?
View 14 RepliesThe last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.
View 14 Repliesbest way to create an effect as if text was being 'typed' onto the screen (i.e. text appears 1 letter at a time, not as a single block)?I was considering creating an array containing each letter that needed to be typed, then using a timer to display each letter in turn... but this seems rather inefficient, is there a better way to go about this?

View 1 Replies my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.

I've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).

View 1 Replieshow this is accomplished?[URL] In this site, if you drag the "sun" back and forth, you spin the tickets. I've done something similar in as2, with the carousel effect. What I'm really interested in is how, when you release the "sun", the tickets don't stop spinning until the one closest to the middle of the stage is directly in the middle of the stage. I've been trying to accomplish this with a some scrollable thumbnails. But when you release the arrow keys, it stops where ever it was on MOUSE_UP.
View 0 RepliesI've got "thumbnails bar" (created with a mask level) into the bottom of my library and above, my image holder where i can see images in their real size.

View 2 RepliesCan anyone recommend the best way to achieve the following continuous scroll effect - I want to simulate a circular room with 12 (numbered) doors in it. There are 'sights' over the 3 middle doors. The sights remain in the same place, but when you press the left or right arrow key the clip of the 12 doors scrolls in that direction and stop at the next door. When you scroll to the right of door 12, door 1 then becomes visible again.

I really want to use this panning/scrolling effect for some thumbnails in a flash portfolio. My only problem is it's AS3 and I'm using Flash 8 (AS2). I've tried re-working the code, but with no luck. It's the EventListener that is confusing me!
Code:
var verticalCenter:Number = stage.stageHeight / 2;
var limit:Number = stage.stageHeight - content_mc.height;
var speed:Number = 0.1;
var scrollY:Number = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollContent);
function scrollContent(e:Event):void {
scrollY = - speed * ( mouseY - verticalCenter );
content_mc.y+= scrollY;
if (content_mc.y>0) { content_mc.y= 0;}
else if (content_mc.y< limit) { content_mc.y= limit; }}
Following some tutorials, I coded for a thumbnail scroll panel that works just fine. The thumbnails are scrolling when the mouse if hovering the panel and stops scrolling when the mouse leaves the panel.
However, I'd like to create a slow down effect on the thumbnail scroll panel when the mouse cursor leaves the scroll panel (instead of immediately stop scrolling).
