View 6 RepliesI'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
I need to put a long static text inside a scrollPane? I've got a custom font embed. When I enable "Anti-alias for readability" the text looks wired (overlaps) in the scrollPane. But when I change it to "Use device fonts" the static text shows fine. How can I overcome this? Basically I need to have a long paragraph inside a scrollPane with a custom font.

Kinda like a way to insert text into a movieclip without it having a set text field height..
I've tried for hours and days to make my vertical text content scroller working in a flash fake 3d environment with rotationX / Y. But because of vector>bitmap conversion when 3d roationing, the scroller fails to works. I know the stratDrag method fails to work in a 3d environment. other than using PV3D or so ? cause I don't know how to work with PV3D, it's just tooooo complicated to get it for me.
View 1 RepliesI have an odd situation where the static text each within a mc for a menu are shifting slightly up and down despite having the exact same rounded x/y values throughout on the timeline in the properties box. There are a few frames on the timeline where they are contained within another movieclip to fade them in, and when I zoom in and make sure they line up exactly, they are fine, but when I play the movie back at various magnifications within the authoring environment and as an exported swf, they randomly shift slightly. Sometimes they randomly shift, and other times at the same magnification they don't at all when replayed back again. It's making me pull my hair out and grind my teeth because I don't know if I am dealing with a known bug or (more likely) my ignorance. I know there is a better way of doing this all with action script, but honestly I am not there yet by a long shot, unless someone could direct me to a proper tutorial.
View 5 Repliesmy problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
View 1 RepliesHow do I make dynamic text look static while the HMTL tagging is enabled?
I have a dynamic text filed where I am setting the text value through a variable. Now, I need that text to look static on run time and HTML tagging on the field enabled.
I am trying to scroll a movie clip with a static text filed. Everything works fine however, my mc won't scroll. SWF attached.
Here is my code:
var scrollUpper:Number = 19;
var scrollLower:Number = 121.5;
var textLower:Number = 2.0;
var textUpper:Number = -72.5;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;

I have a dynamic text field where I am setting it's text value through a variable. Now, I need this dynamic text field content to look like static font on runtime. I tried embedding the text field but that makes my file so heavy and most importantly, it disables the HTML tagging on the text field.
View 8 RepliesI have a movieclip with static text inside of it. The width (correct one) of the movieclip is 204 px, this is what it even reports after dragging it from library to stage. However, if I export the movie and trace the width of the movieclip, I get 214 px. Inside of the clip is a static text field - it is not wider than the clip and it is not even filled up with text completely. Now if I change it to dynamic text and I export the movie, I get the correct width - 204.

How do I make some text inside my scrollable text field linked.
EG:
(Scrollable using the UI scrollbar)
Test1
Test2
Test3
I want to link Test1 to frame 1, Test2 to frame 2, etc.
I have a scrollbar that uses a movieclip-instance name "text" to display dynamic text.On the main timeline I used the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
dynamictextcontent.htmlText = myLoadVars.dynamictextvariable_html;

View 1 RepliesI created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
film_mc.first_btn.onRelease=function(){
film_mc.gotoAndPlay("one");
}
[code].....
I followed this tut:[URL]..It works fine. My question is if I can make this animation inside a Movieclip os upload on another movie.
View 3 RepliesI am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.
I have added a button to Lee's scroller * ; to the 'content' movie clip, inside the scroller. Testing the movie, Flash recognises the mouse click -and doesn't give me any compiler errors- however, the button doesn't function. I am guessing my code isn't well enough written to get the playhead to move within the main timeline, as it is embedded in a movie clip (the content mc) within another movie clip (the scroller mc), perhaps. Using AS3, what additional code do I need to add to what I already have written?
My code for the button:
// handle events for back to menu button ...
btnbacksmilejapan.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickJapanSmiletoMenu);
function clickJapanSmiletoMenu (evtObj:MouseEvent) {
//trace shows what's happening ... in the output window
trace ("The Japan Smile back toMenu button was clicked")
// go to the Menu
gotoAndPlay("scene two jpn");
}

I have just successfully displayed the contents of my 'gallery' xml in a grid layout to my stage. My issue is I have a fairly small area to work with and I need to put these inside a custom scroller. The custom scroller I have atm displays only text (via a TextField and URLLoader) from a txt file and I'm confused how to alter it to load my gallery images (from my xml) instead. Can I load images from the XML into the textfield? Is there an easier way of doing it.

View 5 RepliesI am adding data inside a VGroup dynamically using Action Script. Each data is an instance of a custom component. So when the number of item is more, It take time to load, which look bad.
Is there any way, we can load data to it, asynchronously or is there any way, so that more data can be added inside a scroller only when the scroll bar reaches to the end ( as it happens in Android or IPhone).?
how work with resizing the width of of a movie clip according to the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I found the clickable area change according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all in the swf.
