ActionScript 2.0 :: Centring External Swf On Stage That Has Scrolling Text In It
Apr 2, 2009
i've been trying to centre an external swf into a blank movieclip on the stage and having problems with it. the swf contains a text box with scrolling text in it and that's where the problem lies.it's like flash sees the entire amount of text within the text box (ie if the scrolling box is 200px high but the amount of text within it is 500px high, it treats the swf as being 500px high). you can see an example at URL...it loads fine, and you can click on 'buy' which is also fine, as soon as you resize the window though, the mc 'jumps' up. i'm using a flash file purchased from flashden (no response when i asked for help from the author). also tried a simple version initially though and had the same problem (tried with external text file too and no joy). does anyone know if this is or is not possible?the source flas are at: URL...

I put a text area component on stage and set the vertical scrolling to Auto, so now when ever I have to much text the scroll bar pops up, but the problem is that I can't get the scroll bar to always be on the bottom, so when ever I add more text I always have to use my mouse and drag the scroll bar to view the latest info, is there a way that I can see the latest update without having to manually scroll down?

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.

stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, MouseWheel, false, 0, true);
function MouseWheel (e:MouseEvent) {
if (e.delta > 0) {[code]..........
What I want to do is simply to disallow scrolling when the top or bottom end of testMC hits the top/bottom of the stage. What occurs right now is that I can basically scroll completely off the stage and it doesn't stop.

ActionScript Code:
//this if statement not working as should. button and track are always invisible.
//txt is text field name
if (txt.textHeight < txt.height){[code]......

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

I have a situation where i have a horizontal scrolling container that has a video object inside it. the video object has to stay inside the scrolling content for another reason i don't want to get into here. Now the client wants me to keep the video in the center of the stage even when the clip its inside of is scrolling. Normally I would just take it out of the scrolling clip and place it above the scrolling content but i cant do that here. I tried this math but it didn't work exactly. on an enter frame when the video is open I have this code;
Actionscript Code:
if( vid ) vid = ( stage.stageWidth/2 - vid.width/2) - scrollingContainer.x;

I am trying to achieve this result. [URL]. Its a really nice effect. I have this code:
function accelScroller(myTarget) {
myMiddle = Stage.width/2;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
moveDist = myMiddle-_root._xmouse;
myTarget._x += moveDist/20;
} accelScroller(imgBar);
I have a movie clip with all my images, this code allows me to go either right or left and decrease the speed either if i go to the right or left. But I want the the scrolling effect to stop when it reaches the end, either left or right side. How do I do that? You can download the fla file here [URL]

I have a graphical component and I am trying to obtain it's coordinates relative to the stage by using the localToGlobal or contentToGlobal methods.
My problem is when scrolling a Container, these methods do not return the correct values, but return the old unshifted coordinates of the graphical component. Later, after everything seems stable, when trying to use the methods they return correct value so this means at the time where I use them after scrolling not all information necessary in computing have been commited.
For the case of the Container class I have investigated and although it passes through the scrollChildren method, the computation is wrong.For the case of the Tree component when scrolling with the wheel, the methods return correct value, but when pressing the arrow button of the scroll-bar the methods return incorrect value.
Until now I have tried to listen the scroll and the update complete events when they are dispatched but without any success. So my problem is that after scrolling I would need to know a moment(event to be listened or something else) that I can call the methods and the output to be ok.I would like the final solution to be uniform.

I am attempting to run the XML Photo Gallery with Thumbnails from the tutorial, but contained within an empty movie clip of another swf. I've been trying to rebuild my website in Flash and I was attempting to utilize this external gallery to keep the file size down. The Test Movie of the thumbnail_initial.swf works perfectly on its own, but the thumbnails no longer scroll when I test the website.swf that I have loaded thumbnail_initial into. I created an empty movie clip (analog_mc) and placed it where I want the gallery to load. On the page containing analog_mc (timeline path is Scene1 / siteContent / analogFrame), I have tried both of the following code in the actions layer:
analog_mc.loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf");
and
loadMovie("thumbnail_initial.swf", analog_mc);
I get the same result with either: the gallery loads correctly where I've placed the analog_mc empty movie clip, the first three thumbs appear across the bottom, the Previous and Next buttons function, but the thumbnails do not scroll. I am using Flash CS3 on Vista, my AS skills are elementary as well as my XML.

I have a project in mind in which I would like 3 sets of interlinked images that are displayed on the same stage. While the mouse is over one set the wheel button allows for scrolling through that set of images and so on for the other two sets of images.
How do I separate the three sets of images, so that scrolling through one set doesn't affect the other sets on the stage? Each set has about 30 images each.

I am in the process of building a web site and am running into an issue with dynamic loading text.I am trying to make a scrolling news section with a stage of 200 W x 250 LCreated a movie clip with the following coding:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
Then set the clip (which is 250 W x 600 L) on the main stage, moving upwards, creating the auto scroll effect.The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to make the text use the whole width of the text box I created. It only uses half of the width, creating columbs like this:
Hello and
welcome
to our new
[code]...
The text box itself is at least twice the width of the sentences, but they aren't using the full width.

I have a simple text box with a UIScrollBar component added to it.
The text box properties are set to "input text, multi line.
The problem is when I want to change just one line of the text to a bold or a different color, the whole text box contents changes. I've tried different property setting for the text box itself with no luck.

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

Scrolling Map And this is the code...
[Code]...
I want the map's movement to be constrained to the edges of the stage. Or in other words, if you move your mouse from the left edge of the stage to the right, you only just see the right edge map, whereas now, it dissappears off the other side of the stage.

I am loading external SWF files into a blank movieclip (content1) Problem is each SWF is different in height.I need to be able to do a full screen scroll but the scroll will only work with the main stage height, Is there any way to make the page scroll to the bottom of each external movieclip? At the moment it either clips off or I have to set the stage height to something like 1200px to scroll through all the text.

I searched for this a lot, but I couldn't find a solution for this 'bug' as it's called here:click on first flash, and use mouse wheel, then click on second flash and use mouse wheel again. Now You know perfectly what 'bug' I mean.The thing is, I believe this bug can be solved WITHOUT externalinterface. This chat is made with AS 3:pen 'codebox', hold ENTER to make a hundred of lines or so, and then test your mouse wheel.It doesn't use any externalinterface technique (both obviously as it's Kongregate, and confirmed by author), just mx.component.textArea that itself implements the scrolling nicely.I couldn't achieve that with even.preventDefault or stopPropagation.

I have a simple text field that is read only and it's very long, so I just want to use a scrollbar on the right-hand side. I dragged a UIScrollbar component to this text area, I lined it up, same height, and even named the text area as the scrollbar's target, but when I compile the swf, I get a blank scrollbar next to the text and 2 other scrollbars off the the right of the text!!! I also tried adding the scrollbar via code with the same results.

I need to learn how to create scrolling text. I�ve looked around on the web but I can�t seem to find a good tutorial on it. The text does not need to be dynamic, I must be able to choose different fonts and colors for the text, and most importantly create a custom scrolling bar.
