ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Scrolling Text Box Using Kirupa Tutorial
Dec 23, 2003
I've created a dynamic scrolling text box using the kirupa tutorial. It's the tutorial that uses self-made buttons to scroll up and down. In my movie I've got 7 buttons, when one is pressed I want to display different text in the text box. I have it working by loading text from .txt files but it is slow and does not allow me to format the text as I would like. What I'm thinking of doing is creating 7 keyframes on the timeline of the scrollable text. Then in each frame have the different text that I want displayed. When I click on a button it would go to one of those frames thus displaying the corresponding text. I can't get it to work. I've changed the text box to a static text box. I can't get it to move the playhead to the next frame in the text movie clip which the scrollable text box resides in.

modify this tutorial ([URL]) so that it does this: one of the external swf's has a button in it that loads another external swf in a different area of the stage, so now there would be 2 external swf's displayed on stage. Then, when one of the main buttons is clicked, the exit animation of the 2nd swf is played, then the exit animation of the 1st swf is played, then the new external swf is loaded in the same spot that the 1st one was.

Will this tutorial work on servers like this? I read through the tutorial and the author links to his own socket server. Do we have to pay big bucks for our own socket server or can a regular cheap host's server be converted to one?

I have incorporated the following XML guestbook on my site and it works like a charm since its inclusion on my site

How to send a mail to me when anyone adds a message on the guestbook ?I guess it is possible as whenever one xml object is send to the php file for processing by sendAndLoad function , it can also send a mail via php .....the code that sends xml data to php in this actionscript is
Code:
myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);
can some code be added in the processXML.php which also sends a mail vial "mail" function in php ?

I'm trying to generate an isometric grid via code using kirupa's tutorial but it's not quite working correctly as I'm trying to convert it. I am trying to generate a 5 x 5 grid with a unique coordinate to each square, but I can only get a row to form with the coordinates showing x = 5 and y = 5 for each square of the single row. There is also an unclickable square in the corner. Here is my code:

continue the success with incorporating the scrolling thumbnails feature to my current galleries.I have done my best to incorporate the code from Kirupa's "Adding Thumbnails" tutorial to my site, but have a feeling the loader class is only MX 2004 and on, and I'm using plain old MX. I have absolutely no thumbnails showing up at all.
PS I also found two discrepancies in the tutorial:
1. Initial code to be pasted has a line such as this:
Code:
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval("thumbnail_mc.t"+k)._width+5)*k;
and later in the tutorial that same code is treated as this:
Code:
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;
2. Initial code to be pasted has a line such as this:
Code:
}else if ((_root._xmouse<=40) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))){
but later in the tutorial when it's broken down it's listed as this:
Code:
}else if ((_root._xmouse<=(hit_left._x+40)) && (thumbnail_mc.hitTest(hit_left))) {
It's very difficult to test all possible variations in this, but I think I have, as there were 4 possible combinations since 2 lines of code varied. But none of them worked. Either way, would be good to know which users should be using. A little help in identifying: "snowThumbMC" is the name of my empty movie clip instance on my stage, in which I should be loading all of the thumbnails.
1. Is "target_mc" the name of an actual movie clip I should have on the stage somewhere? Or is it simply an empty one created via code to hold info?? I'm trying to figure out what exactly "target_mc" refers to.
2. Is "pictureValue" an actual value of a variable named "picture"? If so, should I have this variable on stage somewhere? I'm just not sure by reading the code (since I can't properly read it) what exactly "picture" refers to.
Code:
function thumbNailScroller() {
// thumbnail code!
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tscroller", 1000);
scroll_speed = 10;

This tutorial found on: [URL] Is extension of: [URL] The problem manifests itself when I substitute .jpg thumbnail with .swf one. (I need this because i need transparent thumbs, so i needed to import transparent gifs via swfs - i used [URL] to convert gifs to swfs if someone is interested - It is released under the GPL. ) XML is parsed ok, and the thumbnail is visible with other .jpg thumbnails. The problem is that it is not "alive": Clicking on it doesn't change the main image, hovering doesn't change its alpha:

My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......
I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.
on (rollOver) {
rOver.text ="caption";
}[code]..............

I have succesfully created a scrolling text field that is marked as dynamic. My problem is loading the XML text into it once I place it within a movie clip. So I have a dynamic text filed in movie clip A which is masked by movie clip B and then has a custom scroll bar attached to scroll the content. When I try to import text to place in the dynamic text field ( rather than typing the text within flash ) it doesnt show up.

I have an empty dynamic text field that I attached the UIScroller component to.
Clicking on a button sends text to it, but the scrollbar doesn't register the text to make it scrollable. It just gets cut off at the bottom.

Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me).I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me.iam.theData.textBodybuttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.

I have made a custom scroll bar, using tlf text converted to a movie clip that measures 903px tall. I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up. The button will go back to its place at the top of the scroll bar, but the movie clip only scrolls back up about two thirds of the way.I don't get any errors when I test the file, and I've permitted debugging in the hopes it would find an obvious mistake to no avail.Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
// Scroll My Content function - AS3
function scrollMyContent()[code]..........

I have a dynamic text field and have two buttons. All I want the buttons to do is to scroll up or down a couple lines everytime its clicked. AS2 had something like this:
body_txt.scroll += 1;
