trying to modify the custom scrollbar that is in the tutorial section, it works nice, but i need to scroll the contentMain with the up and down arrow keys also, i think it needs a listener event, but is a kind of tricky for me.The complete code that is in the tutorial exactly is this...
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
i have created some 6 -10 buttons and i want to keep these list of buttons in the scrollbar. so that a user can view only a set of 4-5 buttons at a time.i tried out the kirupa-scrollbar but when the masking is done on set of buttons all the buttons are under mask and i am unable to click any of those .i tried the UIscrollbar component, it works for the text area but not for the buttons
I know how to make a scrollbar for a text field, but how does one go about making a scrollbar for a non-text based item, say movieclip with a graphic inside?
I have a dynamic text field with scrollbar buttons that work in Firefox, chrome and safari but not IE8. I wish I could forget about IE8 but it's not possible yet. The following code is being used.
Is there anyway possible to take the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" on the Kipura site (http:url....)and make it so that the "UP" and "DOWN" keys on your keyboard also scroll the scrollbar?
I'm in no way a Flash expert, and I've got a bit of a query. I've followed a few tutorials and managed to get a vertical scroller working pretty well. However, is there a way of having a set of buttons that will move the content of the scroller (and subsequently scrollbar) to a certain position, without breaking the scroll functionality?
I am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.
I have a file where I am importing dynamic text with buttons and a scrollbar. Everything pulls in and is working fine except... I have one document where the dynamic text that is pulled in is short and really doesn't need to scroll. It appears fine but say you click one of the buttons or scrollbar by accident or curiosity. The movie just starts vibrating... it doesn't like thst the text is short. I don't want to take the stuff out because the info will always change and some days it may need buttons soma days not.
I need to create a scrollable list of buttons. Only vertical scrolling is enough. The main thing is that, the buttons and scroll bar should be custom drawn. One and two dimension of button layout support is needed.
I want to create two textfields in flash wich will move the text simultaniously by using one scrollbar. for example. the left textfield contains text and the right textfield contains pictures. and the scrollbar is in the middle.
I have created a dynamic text box and attached the default UIscroll bar from the components library in CS4.I have attached it to the text box and it works ok.When i drop it onto my page it appears white (my background is black). When I preview it does what it is supposed to. So far so good. NO! The default Scroll bar is hideous. I want to change it but I cannot figure out how to.
I have tried double clicking it but it cannot be edited. Is this an action Script thing? I have recreated it in another flash document with the text box and the scroll bar which I have attached called 'scroller with text'.I have double cliked the scroll bar and changed it to how I want it and it works, i know how to but its not in my main flash file i am working from. I have saved the one Ire-created one as a SWF and tried importing it but it has errors on it. see attached 'MAIN_Menupage'.I have been through all the tutorials on this website and cannot get this to work.
When opening an .fla in Flash CS4 everything is aligned top left and no scrollbars appear:Have I forgotten something really simple here !? Can this be a mac to pc issue? I tried resaving the .fla but nothing changed.
I 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.
My client would like his pages without the right scroll bar. I realize it is a bit crazy on his part, but this is what he wants. How can I publish Flash ani so that there is no vertical scrollbar on the right side? Here is the example that he is using..[URL]..
Alright so I'm a flash idiot, got a premade template that's flash with XML for the page's text / titles.. now that's fine and all, and I can write lots of text.. but the downside is.. there's no scrollbar.. so if you write too much, you can use the middle mouse button and scroll down to read the rest.. but I'm wanting to add a scrollbar to be more user friendly and visually 'appearling'.. now I'm wondering since I'm a flash idiot how I can add a scrollbar to certain pages (or every page?) when needed.. can anyone tell me how to start.. whether it would be strictly in the XML (easier I guess because it's just adding in code..?) or does it have to be done in Flash? (harder.. since I have no idea wtf to do)..
I am trying to build a AS3 only project and I ran into a problem that when I turn some MC's visible on...they are out of my browser window and there is no scrollBar for browser to scroll down.
How do I set the swapDepth for my UI ScrollBar? (the scrollbar show-up when some external text is being loaded). Or how do I make 'abc' right on top of all other items?
I want to specify amount to scroll with VScrollBar. So in Flex 3 we have "lineScrollSize" but how this property called in Flex 4? I thought it VScrolBar.stepSize but it dose not do anything.I just whant my content to scroll faster on mouse wheel.
I have an AS 2 scrollbar that I use over and over when I need to. The scrolls layers sit on the main timeline so in the past all I did was copy to the new fla main timeline edit the scroll, buttons, colors etc. I need a scrollbar in a project and I want to use the same scroll but the problem is the scrollbar must sit inside of a movieclip called "page-design"
The scroll uses the old Tell target method in AS 2 and I'm having trouble getting the correct code to work. rather than copy and paste the original code here, I have the fla of the original scroll working off a main timeline. What I need to do is to put the scroll inside a movieclip so the scrollbar is inside "page-design_mc and page design _mc goes on the main fla timeline follow?
How do you reset the scrollbar in Flash? (I'm using the component, not a cusom scrollbar.)If you go here, scroll ALL the way to the bottom and then click on "Donations" - you'll see the scrollbar stays in place.How do I get it to refresh each time new text is loaded? I've tried refreshPane() and a few other things, but nothing works.
I have searched the forum for this, and there are a couple of similar questions, but no answers (bad sign I guess...).Is it possible to use movieclip.createTextfield and use a component scrollbar?
I made a scrollbar, dynamically attached to a dynamic textfield, and it looks fine when I publish in Flashplayer 6. When I switch to 7 however, the x_position jumps to the _x postion of the Textfield instead of the position I gave it (513). And I also made something to make the scrollbar invisible when there is not enough text, but in Flashplayer 7 I still can see an 'inactive' scrollbar.Is it my coding that is maybe partly AS1.0 (I am terrible at that)? Or something with UI components and Flashplayer 7?[code]
ok - i'm totally confused here... this is probably a stupid noob question... just recently got flash 8 - upgrading from mx2004, but had previously been using flash 6 components and AS1, due to files that had already been written in mx... my problem is this - i have a dynamic text field, populated with data from a LoadVars object. When a button is pressed, different data is loaded into the text field, and the scrollBar is supposed to reset to the top (position=0)
