just wondering if anyone could give me a kickstart with any tutorials or anything? i was hoping to make one like the flashloaded one etc..
aiming to make it work with dynamic text though
I have a dynamic textfield that loads an xml file and I'm looking for a good tutorial on how to create a custom scrollbar component to scroll the textfield with easing.
View 4 Replieshow to display text from external text files but the problem that they all use the regular component scrollbar inside flash, and how to make custom scrollbar for dynamic text but still not for external text. But as the title says, how to make a custom scrollbar (with/without easing but hopefully with it) to display text (or html) from an external text file?

I saw nice Easing text in scrollbar in lot of flash sites. Exist some tutorial for this? Do you know what i mean? If no I will found some example.
View 6 Repliesthis is probably a clich problem, but how do you work out a scrollbar with ease? I know how to use easing pretty well on anything else, I just can't get it to work on my scrollbar
View 2 RepliesLook at e.g. [URL]. When the site loads, the section in the middle contains a scrollbar that scrolls the text with easing. However, the scrollbar itself appears to be the scrollbar component from Flash itself. Is this something that is maybe readily available in MX 2004? Or should this be scripted manually?
View 14 RepliesI am trying to create and easing scroll text field, with a useful bar. I'm thinking in something like the flashloaded component but without a component behavior...
View 4 RepliesI've used this script:
[AS]
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
_root.main.attachMovie("boxContect", "boxContect", 1)
bar.useHandCursor = false;
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;
[Code] ....
If I try to load some thing dynamically into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, it doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.
In this documentation it says that flash CS5 should support custom easing, just like old good CS3 and earlier versions of flash.however, this feature seems to be missing from CS5. it says:Click the Edit button next to the Ease slider in the frame Property inspector.but there is no "edit button" in the panel with easing slider.
View 4 RepliesI've been trying to find an easing generator that supports bounce but have found none. I want to create an easing function that starts as a easeInSine (or quad) and ends as en easeOutBounce (imagine dropping an object on the ground). I've already thought of splitting up the tween in two. Just realised that the easeOutBounce actually starts a little bit like easeInSine but I would like to enhance that part to make a steeper curve.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to set a custom default easing for all Classic Tweens in a project?
View 1 Replieshow can I make one of these tweens go off at a certian frame ? so I can run one after the other and such?? instead of slowing it down with the time it takes to run the tween,

View 2 RepliesI am currently making a site that uses [URL] old fullscreen scrollbar. It's really perfect. I was just wondering how hard it would be to implement some sort of scrollTo function. For example, I would have all of the content inside the scrollbar window. In this content, I would have a list of movieclips acting as buttons that would scroll to a specific y value (all of which would be in say 200px increments). so I would love to have a simple function where I could execute scrollTo(n); where n=a givin y value. Basically acting as HTML anchor tags. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard, but the code is a bit over my head. Here is the code (the fla is located at [URL]

I'm using this custom scrollbar script I got somewhere. Works OK on page that needs it but when going to the other pages I get a "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at the_fla::MainTimeline/stopScroll()"
Code:
/* script to control scroll text */
var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(scrollMc.x, scrollMc.y, 0, 200);

I made a custom scrollbar for a textfield that works like a charm... but in it's "alpha-state", it was only showing where the text was scrolled to (and how long the text is, by it's own height)- you couldn't actually click the scrollbar and drag it. So I added a little AS to the actual scrolling block MC that *should* work... and kind of does- but not like I think it logically should..?

My problem is with scrolling vertical content with a custom scrollbar, where the dynamic content often starts at a y value ABOVE the viewer (or mask). I can get the scrollbar to reflect the correct % of available content on the scrolltrack, but for the life of me am stuck allowing scrolling for the full height of the content.The attached FLA (v8) shows where I'm stuck and how far I got. It's a much simplified version of the final movie, with static content for now, but demonstrates a case in point. I can't use the built-in scrollbar component/s because the content MC will be dynamically populated with further MCs and the content._y value will change constantly, usually ABOVE the 0 y coord of the movie.
View 5 RepliesI followed the tutorial [URL] and it is not working for me. It may be that I am attempting to use this nested within another movieclip. When I test it and click on the dragger on the scroll bar all that happens is that the dragger relocates to center of screen... and that's it. No scrolling, or whatever. To give more info, I am creating an ebrochure, where each frame on the main timeline is a movieclip "page" and in each "page" are several other movieclips. I am trying to use the scroller on "page" 11 (basically frame 11 on main timeline) and in that "page" are several movieclips on their own layers that build the page, including the layer that has the movieclip of the scroller content as per the tut. But I can't seem to make it work. Is this scroller functionable on the main timeline only?

I am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes. In fla file there are movieclip scrollbox, inside of which are dynamic text field (txtField) and custom scrollbar ( consisting of two clips: thumb and track). If I copy some text into text field, everything works. If load external text into text field, text is loaded but it doesn't scroll. Below are codes from all classes:

I intend to make a Custom ScrollBar that would work with Loading dynamic MovieClips upon runtime. I want the ScrollBar to scroll through those MovieClips.
What i am trying to do exactly: I want to create a "who's online" Something, add a Movieclip with information of the client to that 'Something' and use a Custom ScrollBar to scroll the content(dynamic-added MovieClips) of that Something.
in flash8/mx04 is it possible to create a custom scrollbar for text only? i would like to make a dynamic text field with a scrollbar that doesnt need to be contained in a masked mc like most of the scrollers i have seen on this forum so far. i dont want to use the UIscrollBar component because it doesnt quite (well, doesnt at all) fit in with the theme of the project i am working on.
how to make a scrollbar?
I am trying to make my own text scrollbar with dragger. I don't want up or down buttons just the dragger. I've done this so far...
Code:
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var ms:Number = newsText.maxscroll;
var left = scrollTrack._x;
var right = scrollTrack._x;
var top = scrollTrack._y;

It scrolls till the end of text but not to the beginning....
I am making a scroll bar but it doesn't scroll as far as it should. I triple checked all my math but I can't find anything wrong. Probably the code of interest is on the movie clip content0 within the instance whole. This is what actually controlls the scrolling. Most of the other script dictates how the sliders work so you can ignore that, they work fine. Scroll index is a number between 0 and 1 indicating how far down the bar the slider is, 0 it hasnt moved, 1 it is at the bottom. That works as well. So i am not sure why this doesnt work.
View 5 RepliesI am new to xml content in flash. I have been through the kirupa tut for loading xml content and have been successful in implementing it, but I now want to implement it into a scrollbar so I can use css and img tags. I can get it to work using the UI scroll component, but I want to use a custom scroll bar. I get the XML to load fine but I have no clue where to stick in the firstChild.childNodes[0] so I can call to certain attributes within the XML document. Below is the AS for the custom scroll bar.
Code:
stop();
holder_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
var LV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
LV.onData = function(info:String):Void {
holder_mc._txt.text = info;

I've successfully implemented the scrollbar from this great tutorial for some banners, but when I get to my 300x250 banner, the content gets cut off and disappears at a certain point while scrolling. This is the tutorial: [URL]. I altered the pieces for two different sizes without needing to alter any code, but this size is suddenly giving me problems. My FLA is attached.
