I'm having trouble making a textarea with a transparent background, with a visible vertical scroll bar? I've only found ways to make btoh the scroll bar and the textarea background transparent, is it possible to just do this to the background?
View 3 RepliesI have a canvas with a scrollbar and I would like to disable the scrollbar in some way that keeps the thumb visible, but not selectable. I just want to let the user know that there is more information below, but I do not want to let him use the scroll to move down(this will be done with the movement of the arrows). I tried using the properties enabled but it does not work.
View 1 RepliesI am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library
var sbContent:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();

I'm sure this question has been discussed before? I'm wondering how I can make this particular scrollbar invisible when the text inside is short and visible when the text is longer? What would be the AS for this? I'll attach my file to this post!!

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that loads thumbnails from images folder by reading the location of image from xml file...The problem is I have put up a scroll bar but its not working i.e its not scrolling the thumbnails' movie clip contents. I am uploading the fla...any line of code I need to change I think its the scrolling function. The scrolling script I used is from kirupa. I don't want to use classes in this...and want the up n down buttons to remain.
View 6 RepliesI have a scrollbar in which a very long list which I can't make any shorter / smaller.roblem is, the script for the scroller demands that I place the text at 0,0 on the Flash axis, and the lenght of the text makes it run way down to the lower edge of the Flash workingfield.Somehow this makes the text run 'beyond reach' of the scrollbar; the scroller only shows about 2/3 of the list, and does not show the text beyond that point.How can I extent the reach of the scrollbar??? Can I shift the 0,0 point of the Flash axis (maybe place it higher, so the text falls into the more 'reasonable' regions of the workingfield of Flash?)
View 1 RepliesRecently I found an interesting issue for me. There is one simple file that reads the content of xml file and shows it. Everything is working fine in the browser and on the server. But some people told me that they can not see the flash text content. Instead of it they see some strange symbols. What might be the problem? I think that I have to embed the font of the text fields. I should also mention that the text content is not in English, it is in different language. What should be the format of the xml file?

View 1 RepliesI've used Bill T's scrollbar code and loaded text from an XML file. When I drag, the text content is not completely shown.
I'm suspecting it has to do with the value "1.3" in this particular line:
Code:
scrollAmount=(this._height-(mask_mc._height)/1.3)/(mask_mc._height-scrollbar_mc.dragger_mc._height);
how I could use this code, to show up complete text content dynamically?
Here's the complete AS:
Code:
//set a variable
targY=0;
//set the drag action of the dragger

When I was using Flash CS4, it published a HTML file that showed the text content of the movie, which made it easy for search engines to index the site. However, in Flash CS5.5, I notice it doesn't appear to do that anymore.
What do I do (step-by-step) to make my movie content visible to search engines?
I'm working on a project that uses a loader to load up a swf, then display the loader in an area using a mask and a scrollbar to scroll through the content. The content in this project will change regularly, including the dimensions of the swf file (vertical dimension only, I'm not worried about horizontal scrollbars with this question).The problem I'm running into is I can't figure out a proper formula to get the scrollbar to position the content at it's bottom when the scrollbar is at the bottom What I have now is close, but not exact. If you scoll to the bottom, the bottom of the content would scroll up too high, leaving an empty 'blank' space where the content should be. I have an if statement checking for this currently, but this creates a 'dead zone' at the bottom of the scroll bar where the content is already at the bottom, and the scroll bar can continue to scroll down a bit.oes anyone know what I'm doing wrong here in the math to get a good scrolling going, regardless of the size of the content loaded by the loader?Here is what I have so far:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.events.*; import flash.display.Loader; import fl.controls.UIScrollBar; import fl.controls.ScrollBar; import

I'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. Here is the current version:

I have been reading through the Source/Experiments threads and trying to implement suggestions in the Content Scrollbar (Revised) [URL].. thread. I'm using Flash MX 2004, Actionscript 2.0 and throughout the course of this great thread the suggestions seem to shift and become geared for Flash 8. There are a few hints that MichaelxxOA kindly left for MX 2004 people loading content dynamically but I haven't been able to get to work. It's been a long work in progress but I feel like I am getting closer. At the moment I have been able to get the xml content to load into flash but I had to create a kind of dummy cell in the contentMain that is approximately the length of the combined images in the xml document. Is there a way to change the code so that it can read and load the content of the xml document so that when it varies flash loads into contentMain what ever combined height the xml includes? Here is the zip including .xml, .fla, .swf, .as and image with progress so far.
View 2 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;

On my site I want to scroll image boxes vertically. On releasing the scrollbar is there anyway to make the content being scrolled ease into a specified position so that it aligns with other elements on the site instead of stopping at a random coordinate?

View 3 RepliesWill the Googlebot "click" buttons on a Flex 3 site when it indexes it?
I've got a Flex 3 site. When the user clicks one of the buttons on my site, a panel opens and text appears. As the text is not immediately visible, will Google index the content in the panel? (I'm not cloaking or anything weird. It's just the normal functioning of the site).
Are there any Flex 3 developers out there who see Keywords listed in Google Webmaster Tools for text that is visible only after clicking a button?
I have an application control bar at the bottom of my Flex application (with attributes width="100%", dock="false", left="0", bottom="0", height="50"). It contains a lot of elements (like buttons and labels). The width of the SWF is the width of the browser.When the user makes the width of the browser window smaller, after a certain point, thecomponents on the application control bar gets "squished": they are forced on top of each other. And so, it becomes confusing and ugly. To ensure that that doesn't happen, I've set the minWidth attribute to a value so that it'll always display the components without them overlapping each other.
But then, a horizontal scrollbar appears and hides the bottom half of the application control bar.I've googled and I found this article: flex verticalscrollpolicy bug (referenced by this SO question: Flex: Prevent scrollbar from covering content when automatically displayed).But that seems to apply only to a fixed size component. My component's width is a percentage. how to have the horizontal scrollbar appear and have it not cover up the application control bar?
so i have some scrollbar(track and button) and some content.the formula i am using to calculate to calculate y of content is the following:
//contentStarting.y and scrollbarButtonStarting.y are positions of sprites at the moment they are created
content.y = -((contentStarting.y -scrollbarButtonStarting.y) +scrollbarButton.y) * ((content.height- content.mask.height) / (scrollbarTrack.height - scrollbarButton.height));
the only problem i have is that i need to add extra space after content, so basically i want forumla to act as if content. height = content.height + extraSpace , but unfortunatelly setting the height scalesY, which is what i don't want.
I'm having a bit of trouble with this logic. My setup is typical, with a content MC and a handle MC the runs along a track with specified bounds. All I want to do is have the handle height adjust based on content height but in relation to the track height?
View 1 RepliesI worked through Kirupa's "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial and successfully adjusted it to fit some of my content. Then I put it in a movieclip. I was hoping I could just go into each new instance of that movie clip, put in new content and be good to go. Unfortunately, when I edit the content inside my movie clip it edits the content of all the scrollbars in my timeline.
I tried renaming the instance "contentMain" to "contentMain2" in a second movie clip, that I also gave a unique instance name to, and adjusting the actions to match, but that still ended up renaming it in the other the scrollbars in my timeline as well as adjusting it in the actions of all the scrollbars.
Mainly been making websites all these years, but in my last year at school i started to get interested in Flash Actionscript. I've been at home for over a year in 2008, unemployed. I got back to school in September 2008 but quit the education as it wasn't for me. Now I'm looking to get a job, but I need a showcase, so I'm building my portfolio at the moment.
I'm currently working on my portfolio which i wanted to make in Flash using XML generated content. I got as far as getting the content generated in my prototype. Now I'm trying to build the real thing. I currently got a scrollbar on the left which contains the thumbnails. I used the custom scrollbar from [URL] ([URL]). The content in it is generated with xml and actionscript though.

//txt is text field name

I made a scrollbar class that works pretty well. I'm trying to come up with an idea for how to set to the height of the scrollbar vs the height of the scrolling content. This is a standard thing that happen in the OS. Seems there should be a minimum number and the maximum value should be reached as the size of the content approaches the size of the visible area.

View 2 RepliesI want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)
