I am looking for a way to have my content scroll vertically automatically if it is past a certain height.
Code:
var my_format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_format1.font = "EventFont";
my_format1.size = 50;
my_format1.color = 0xFFFFFF;

This is a Flash MX actionscript question - I thought that it would be a cool usability thing if, when the user gets to the bottom of the listbox, it scrolls down one or two places automatically.
View 4 RepliesI made a scrollbar class that works pretty well. I'm trying to come up with an idea for how to set to the height of the scrollbar vs the height of the scrolling content. This is a standard thing that happen in the OS. Seems there should be a minimum number and the maximum value should be reached as the size of the content approaches the size of the visible area.
View 3 Repliescoding some automatic scrolling text? i've had a look around the internet, but all i can find is text that is scrolled using buttons. what i'm after is a way of coding text so it loads up into a text box (which i will call tf) (to start off with i don't mind putting it into the code as static text), scrolls on its own, and when it get to the end, it repeats the scroll, and is neverending. i would like it to go vertical (that ups the page in case i've picked the wrong one!), and be able to pick the scroll speed so i can slow it down or make it go faster. if someone can give me some sample code to get me going that would be great, and i'll try to sort out the rest myself.
View 1 RepliesI am making something where a user is able to type text into an input box and it is added to the stage inside a movieclip. I then make that movieclip draggable.Problem is the textbox height is sometimes even double the height of the height of the text inside. I need it to fit tight
View 4 RepliesI have the following code to populate a dynamic text box:
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
trace ("The text box before autosize is: " + sailing_txt._height);
sailing_txt.htmlText = unescape(this.myVariable);
sailing_txt.autoSize = true;
trace ("The text box after autosize is: " + sailing_txt._height);
};
myData.load("sailing.txt");
The output of this is:
The text box before autosize is: 388.25
The text box after autosize is: 712.5
My problem is that I need to get the autosized height instead of the regular height of the text box before autosize. In a parent movie clip I have the following code to do some custom scrolling:
Code:
contentHeight = _parent.scrolledMC.sailing_txt._height;
trace("The content height is: " + contentHeight);
The output of this is:
The content height is: 388.25
So it's getting the size of the text box before it's autosized.
I'm using AS3, loading external text into a text box. Let's say the text box shows 20 lines of text. Is there a way to trigger some kind of action, for example, changing an image on the stage if the user scrolls the text and line 30 appears in the textbox? Kind of like a cue point for scrolling text.
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm tryin 2 do in Flash MX 2004 is create a Dynamic Textbox that scrolls. However I want the scroller to be on the left hand side and to be made up of my own custom graphic.All I need is for the user to be able to drag and pull the 'scroller' up and down.Heres a short animation of what I wuld like.Basically they pull the green arrow up and down to scroll through the text. The arrow cannot go up past the text vanishing point neither below it.

View 4 RepliesI have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I have used wsdl2js to generate the javascript needed to communicate with the service.However I end up getting a http 500 error and have not been able to get past that. I have looked through the provided examples from the Apache CXF download and I have done some searching and cannot find a solid example of creating the javascript client. A lot of examples seem to somehow access the wsdl file at runtime from a server but my javascript is already generated from the CXF tool and I just include the scripts.
Adobe Flex and AS3Another option I have considered is using Adobe Flex. I create a new Mobile Flex project in Flash Builder using the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK and Flex 4.5. However when I use the menu options to connect to a web service I get prompted with "This option is only available for flex projects."Are there any other options out there that provide a solution to this problem?

i go to frame 60 ( the end of the movie clip ) and i want 2 resize it quite a bit.

View 1 RepliesI am having a little trouble understanding why my code is not functioning. It works if I subtract and combine numbers above .1 but if I use a number below .1 the _x and _y values stop at 0. I would like the _x and _y values to go into the negative. I am using Flash MX.

I have a scroller mc that I want to control by clicking underneath its y position to advance it down its y axis by a predetermined amount.The below code works to move it, but it advances past its max value of 496.5 (off the screen).Have I made a mistake in the code below? The scroller mc and associated text block is in their own mc on the root timeline. This code is on a frame on the root timeline.Has it got to do with the relative y positions of the stage compared with the y positions in the actual MC that I am trying to control?
Code:
principals_mc.johnTxt_mc.scrollerZone_mc.onRelease = function () {
var scrollerAmount:Number = 80;
if (this.hitTest(principals_mc.johnTxt_mc.jfscroller_mc)) {[code]......

gotoAndPlay() is the only actionscript I have in my flash and all I want it to do is go to a frame. If I tell it to go to a frame past a certain one it will not. It always (unless I pick a frame previous to the messed up one) goes to that frame. I have only one scene.

I've created a multi-framed flash file that's calling multiple variables from an external php (text) file. I'm using an onload command to do this and for some reason the variables seem to "disappear" once I leave the first frame (where the onload and load commands are)I'm figuring that my problem has to do with 'variables scope'. I've read the article on this site but I don't know actionscript well enough to proceed.I ultimately want to do away with using multiple frames by using multidemsional arrays and for...next loops, but this is what I have to work with (for now). I'm going crazy trying to get THIS to work.

I'm currently working on a project where I have a mouse trailer in my flash header. It drives me crazy when the effect cuts off when your mouse goes out side of the flash area.
Does anyone know any tricks that I can use so that the effect doesn't cut off? I need to keep it in ActionScript 2.
