View 4 RepliesI got one movieclip with several buttons and another movieclip where i use: this.loadMovie("news1.swf"); What Id like to do is, if its possible, to do, on the main timeline, assign, to the buttons what news.swf to load into the other movieclip where i load it. So i can assign one button to load news1.swf and another load news2.swf.

I have been working on a dynamic loading news ticker for a site and have been running into two separate problems:
The first, creating a movie clip, inserting the following code:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;
myTextField_txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
[Code] .....
And having the clip load the text from the text file listed. In this version, everything is working fine except I don't have the ability to change the font, size, and color of the text using only flash and the text document, (to my understanding).
The second, creating two .fla files, one with the embedded font I want to display named font.fla, and the other blank named fontloader.fla. Also create an .as file in the folder with the following code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code] .....
In this second scenario, the problem is that I can't figure out a way to make the dynamic text scroll vertically and loop, (Was trying to figure out a way to save the fontloader.fla as a movie clip, then importing it into a new .fla and just using a motion tween on the clip, but so far I'm confused by it). This second scenario is also not my first choice, because loading the text straight from a text file would make the news section very easy to update for those who don't have any design experience.
scrollpan with the news on the main page? I have tried tons of things, but haven't gotten something I want..I have made something just now that works like that, except the text doesn't work completely...Basically, I have a bounding box with a mask over the test I want... Code I use (and this is applied to an MC with the whole "container" pan")
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);[CODE]....
My problem is basically I place my content box in the mask and it will start the whole thing at half way... the box will scroll and everything works. it's just that the content starts half way, so half the box will be empty towards the bottom.
I'm having trouble with my scroller only scrolling when it gets to the bottom of the path. This is from the tut on this site [URL]. Here is the actionscript I have for each mc:

Is there any simple way to scroll a dynamic textbox with easing, without having i scrollbar visible? perhaps something that scrolls when mouseover? Every tutorial i found is with a scrollbar, and still i come across the kind of scroll that doesn't have a scrollbar!

View 1 RepliesI have a scrollbar that scrolls left or right when the cursor is moved either side of the central x coordinate. I've been trying to change it so the scroll only activates when the cursor is towards the far right hand side (ie x>75%) or towards the far left hand side (x<25%) of the scrollbar, leaving the central 50% of the scrollbar inactive.
Code:
function scrolling() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
container_mc._x += Math.cos(((mask_mc._xmouse)/mask_mc._width)*Math.PI)*15;

View 1 Repliesi have a bunch of variables loaded into a movie clip and taken the data and created a comment post / shout box the problem im having is i cant find anything on scrolling an mc using the uisrollbar everything i have found has been with custom scrollbars and scrollbar classes.Url..In the first example it is the data loaded and placed into a MC and the second example i have tried to load that MC into a scrollpane but it doesnt scroll right.As you can see its scrolling right past all the post into blank area when it shout stop at the last post. The other problem is if there is more then 8 entries into the databse it wont even scroll to the last few entries....so obviously its not recognizing the hight of the MC properly maybe i need to force it some how but i dont know.I have tried a masking scroll but i cant seem to get the scrollbar conected to the MC to scroll it.some sample code or perhaps a good tutorial on using the uiscrollbar with a mask scroll.One last thing i shout ask is should i be using variables or XML passed from php to acomplish this entry viewer?

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to make a vertical scrollbox (say, 150 px wide by 500 px high with a scrollbar) and where the content is defined by an XML file. The catch... I'd like each name in the list to become a button (or otherwise clickable) that opens a swf (also specified in the XML file). I have succeeded in making a static list where each "name button" was created manually... but I'm realizing my list is going to be hundreds of names and I'm thinking there must be a way to achieve this with XML.

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 Repliesscroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.

View 2 RepliesI'm currently learning Flex, and am having the hardest time getting scroll bars to work. In short, I'm making a giant form for users to fill out, contained within a viewstack component. The user will type up information in one view, and it will be displayed in the other. But right now in the first canvas I have components that run off the screen and flex doesn't automatically add a scroll bar, so I added 'verticalScrollPolicy="on"' to my canvas. Now, while it gives me a scroll bar, it gives me an empty scroll bar. I still cannot move it up or down, meaning components are still trapped off the bottom of my screen. Am I missing something simpleEdit - I'm using Adobe Flex Builder 3, and the components it lets you drag in. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/218/problem1f.jpg This is a picture of the problem, and i guess relavent code would be.

View 5 Replieslooking to build a horizontal news ticker like you would see at the bottom of the screen on CNN etc except it will only display one item at a time. Just thinking and planning before I start.... If the news ticker is only going to be wide enough to display one news item at a time, will my flash load all of the xml news data as soon as it launches and hide all the content that is outside of the ticker width or would/should it only load/display each news item individually when it is that items turn to display in the ticker?
