I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text.
If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link.
Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...
After 2 days of trying, I was finally able to make a simple scrolling text with the up and down arrows. It is functioning fine, but it scrolls line by line which is kind of cumbersome. I want it to scroll smoothly until the mouse is released. May be some scripting. But I am almost at 0 point when it comes to action scripts.
View 4 RepliesI've written this code for a custom scroll bar
Code:
targY = 0;
dragger.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this, false, this._x, 0, this._x, theMask._height-this._height);
[Code].....
how I would add scroll wheel capability to the scrolling? I've tried a few methods, but I'm not very good at class based coding, and from I've read, it's necessary to perform that function.
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.

1.FAN BASE
2.FA NBASE
What I want is the letter N to move slowly towards letter B.I have done motion tweening but it doesn't work -either the whole text is moving left right or the letter N is simply skipping to the second position without smooth animation.( there's no error on motion tween by the way)
i'm looking to make a text box that the user can control the scrolling, i've made it how i want it to look already, but i haven't got a clue where to start as to how to make it actually work.here's how i've got it set up so far, okay this is gonna take some explainingi've got the document made up in AS2, the movieclip known as 'Philosophy_tween' is on the main timeline, and inside that movieclip are two more child movieclips, one for the text and another for the scrollbar.the text movieclip is set to scroll upwards, behind a masking layer using a motion tween on the parent movieclip, whereas the scrollbar movieclip motion tweens (inside itself) the scroller button. look at the attached image

View 3 RepliesUsually a song name in music players, like in Winamp for example, song name scrolls from right to left. The only way I can think of is to have 2 dynamic textfields, both having the same text, one next to each other (with desired spacing in between), and then in enter frame or with timer move them both (below the mask) from one side to another, and when each textfiled crossed certain point, move it behind the other and repeat this action forever...
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know how to make an LED scrolling text effect? This is the best way I can describe it as I don't want scrolling text in the normal way, I want it to be on one line moving right to left with very few characters. Like you might see in an elevator or shop window on an LED scroller.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make scrolling text appear on a few screens, so that when I click on a button to go to the next frame the characters of a sentence will appear one after another as if someone is talking.

i=0 function runone() { var text:String = "Restrictive signs come in red and blue circles."; text1.appendText(text.charAt(i)); i++; };

What is the easiest way to make scrollable text that I can set to whatever font I want (embeded of course)have it look very well anti-aliased; like most Flash text, not like it's being read out of a regular system or browser window. (the text will be big so no probs)have different portions of the text be different colors so I can highlight certain words and leave others aloneuse actionscript to load text content into itmaybe make (all) the text semi transparent for design purposesI'm going to use some action script to load some XML content into the text areas or whatever. Any of you know of any easy ways of accomplishing this? or have a link to any type of tutorial? (at least for Flash CS3 and above of course, along with ActionScript 3)
View 2 RepliesHow to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.
The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?
I want to make a simple script that will add a value to a dynamic text box by pressing F1 through F4. But I want it simple, I don't have time to learn a bunch of stuff. So I want...
on (keyPress "<F1>") {
test = "test"; }
But of course F1 is an invalid key and won't work. Want I want to know is if I can write something like this that will do the same function; yet still simple.

For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

View 2 RepliesI've removed all of the math I had done. Just trying to get the content area (_scrollable) to move up and down behind the mask in the opposite direction, just as you'd expect a scrollbar to do to a content area.
Dragging of the scrollbar is setup and this just needs some simple math coding in the thumbMouseMove function.
I am looking for a simple scrolling thumbnail class written in AS2. Does anyone know of any tutorials or code samples anywhere? I can't seem to locate one. I have written one but I have a problem. My thumbnails are 100px x 100px. When I have more than like 36 (can't remember the exact number), my mask (which masks a bit on the left and the right side of the horizontal thumbnail scroller) no longer works. I found out that there is a max pic size for flash so I'm assuming that I am exceeding that max pic size which causes the mask to not work when I breach that size.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
I use a dual-boot computer, with one partition for Linux (Debian) and one for Windows XP. I can't use Flash on Linux as Adobe has never ported it to that platform. So I put my Flash on the Windows partition.Unfortunately, while I have no trouble with Flash 8 on the Windows partition, when I attempt to open Flash 9 on it it crashes the entire system.
My husband found an article in the Winter 2009-2010 issue of 2600, the Hacker Quarterly magazine; it seems that in CS3, which Flash 9 is part of, Adobe has written its copy protection code in such a way as to cause a dual-boot machine to become unbootable after one uses Adobe software.I don't understand all the technical issues, but as the article states, "even though you have paid Adobe real money for their software, they will still potentially ruin your dual-boot system."
I realize Adobe doesn't consider Linux users numerous enough to accommodate,but by taking my money for their product,the company has an obligation to give me value in return.The value I expect is to be able to use the software I paid for - it's not up to Adobe to decide which OS I should use.At least they could warn people that you can't use CS3(and probably not CS4) on a dual-boot system.I will now start learning to use Inkscape immediately.

I may be mistaken, but it appears that Facebook only supports friend-selector dialogs within a request/invite form. I take that to mean that since our app is just allowing the user to arrange a subset of friends for display within the app (no message to the friend), we must use something that isn't available from Facebook. It would be nice to know if I'm wrong, but important to have some clear pointers on how to get a friend ID back from the dialog without an invite or request getting sent to the friend.
I've searched for solutions and the closest I've come is a description of something that implements what I want offered for license by Mike Knoop.
