I have some actionscript, and it scrolls the scrollRect, but there is a catch. It doesn't completely scroll it. It lets me scroll down until it's halfway and stops. I can still scroll up to the top, but the problem is unerving. I can't find a fix for it.

I have made a custom scroll bar, using tlf text converted to a movie clip that measures 903px tall. I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up. The button will go back to its place at the top of the scroll bar, but the movie clip only scrolls back up about two thirds of the way.I don't get any errors when I test the file, and I've permitted debugging in the hopes it would find an obvious mistake to no avail.Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
// Scroll My Content function - AS3
function scrollMyContent()[code]..........
I'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 have created a custom scrollbar for some dynamic text ("services_txt") under a movieclip ("servicestext_mc" with the instance name services_mc). The name for the scroller is scroller_mc.
The scrollbar works fine, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the text box. I keep getting error message 1120: Access of undefined property services_txt.
I've tried scrolling my text several ways and seem to keep getting this error - I have a feeling it's because I've inputted the text manually and forgot to do something, instead of using an external text loader. Here is the code I've inputted:
var scrollPercent:Number = 0;
var minScroll:Number;
var maxScroll:Number;

I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

I've made the kirupa simple scrollbar [URL] to scroll horizontal. This works just perfect but it is not smooth. My question to you is - how to make it smooth? I've got 4 MC's with the instance names content, mask, scroll_area and scroller.
My AS looks like this:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.content_width = content._width;
_root.scroller_area_width = scroll_area._width;
scroller._width = _root.scroller_area_width/(content._width/scroll_area._width);
_root.scroller_width = scroller._width;

To just add the articles will only make the page load slower so I used a scrollbar with a textfield and added text and pics to the article to scroll it. This works fine but I need a way where the scroll can call different textfields or movieclips. For instance, the main scroll opens with a textfield that scrolls articles 15 thru 10. I need on the bottom of the page buttons that link articles 9 thru 5 and so on. So when you click a button the textfield or movieclip changes and displays what is in that textfield or mc. I have looked for a tutorial, a video or anything on this and besides coming up with Flash 5 similar mentions but nothing to this point
View 1 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?

That said, I would like to alter some of the code to allow the thumbnail scrollbar to begin scrolling once the page has loaded. Here is what the code looks like as it is right now.

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 3 RepliesIs it possible to use scrollRect without the flash.geom.Rectangle class?I know the scrollRect can be used like this:import flash.geom.Rectangle; myMC.scrollRect = new Rectangle(10,10,100,100);I need to make a flash which doesn't extends outside the stage (bacause loading it from another flash will expose anything outside the stage area). Using a mask is an option, but scrollRect seems very interesting because it would be easier and give greater performance.But I can not import the flash.geom.Rectangle class (and it seems overkill to import a class just to set x,y,width and height)How can use scrollRect without the flash.geom.Rectangle class?

If we have a Bitamp with more than 16777216 pixels (or one side larger than 8191 px) Flash 10 doesn't show it (Flash 9 and earlier has smaller limits even).One solution to this is to use scrollRect to limit the size displayed.OK, that works.
But Flash 10 has another problem, if we use any 3D property (rotationX, z, etc), flash transforms your MC in bitmap, so we can reach the above limit even when we are not working with bitmaps...A bigger problem is that although our MC could be really small (at least less than 16777216 pixels), when we apply a 3D transform like rotationX, the displayed MC can grows enough to reach the limit. And... we can't use scrollRect with 3D MC. But we have a trick here too, there are two ways to use scrollRect with 3D:
1. Create a 2D parent, then create the 3D displayObject inside of that parent.
2. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the 2D parent.
3. Create a grandparent container to hold the first two items.
4. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the grandparent container.
5. Apply scrollRect to the grandparent container.
These methods are really differents, with the second I couldn't use scrollRect to avoid reaching the bitmap limit. I think that's because in the second we apply scrollRect to the parent and 3D to the child, so nothing breakes our child from growing.With the firs method we apply scrollRect to the child, and the 3D property to the parent.
Code:
var p: Sprite = new Sprite();
var c: Sprite = new Sprite();
p.addChild(c);

I have a scrolling background that is 1320 x 1000 big. I'm using a sprite as a container where my background canvas is placed inside of it. Additionally I add (via addChild) a score sprite inside of the background sprite (the one that holds the bg canvas so the score appears on top of the bg canvas).The goal is that when I add a score it shall be stuck to the background (even when the scrollrect moves; it shall have a fixed position on the background).The problem is that this doesn't work because when the score appears it moves with the scrollrect and this is not what I want. I already tried it with globalToLocal but had no success yet. Probably because I don't really understand globalToLocal (and vice versa)These are some code excerpts:
Code:
private var backgroundBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1320, 1000, false, 0x000000);
private var canvasBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1320, 1000, false, 0x000000);

There are two basic ways of panning a view in Flash. One is to move the display object (and use a mask if necessary). The other is to use scrollrect. Today I noticed a small, but annoying effect of scrollrect. Scrollrect's can't have true Numeric positions-- they are automatically snapped to the nearest pixel.
When moving at very slow speeds, the effect is noticeable. In this example you can switch between two modes of panning, sprite movement with mask and scrollrect:
http://lab.wx3.com/scrolltest/ (view source enabled).
In the default mode, the circles move smoothly.
In scrollrect mode, the circles seem to stutter because the scrollrect is snapping to the nearest pixel.found a way to make a scrollrect move smoothly at slow speeds?
in order to increase performance of a scrollRect i must cache the vector as a bitmap, otherwise the scrollRect will be simply a less performant mask (info source).however, i can't seem to move an object/scrollRect once i've applied cacheAsBitmap. why?

I am having a problem with ScrollRect. I am unable to upload a file( i don't know why..i am getting upload error msgs). So i have quoted the code.
ActionScript Code: import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var container:MovieClip = container_mc;//container_mc is in timeline(its widht is 600 )
var window:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0 , 400, 100);
container.scrollRect = window;
container.cacheAsBitmap = true;

Currently the leftmost part of movieclip is visible. I want to make right most part of movieclip to be visible at first. What should i do ?
I'm having a problem that involves scrollRect and getBounds. In short, getBounds is reporting an old value not accounting for scrollRect changes during that frame. Example:

I have two pieces of code, that won't work together.First: this makes a hitTest on an mc to make it run on rollover:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
nextFrame();
[Code]...
Each work seperately, but they won't together. How do I get around this?
I'm having trouble using a scrollRect on an object instance on the timeline that has a motion tween. As soon as I apply the scrollRect to it, the object just stops! I've attached a simple fla that shows what I'm talking about.
Simply comment out this line in the first frame's actions to see the oval move across:
Code:
oval1.scrollRect = window;
The actual application I'm making is using a scrollRect on a custom list control, where each item in the list is a symbol in the library. It works great, except if I try to move my list around using a motion tween (the list still works, but the list doesn't move in the motion tween). As soon as I remove the code to apply the scrollRect, it works but the list fills the screen!
I have a scrolling background that is 1320 x 1000 big. I'm using a sprite as a container where my background canvas is placed inside of it. Additionally I add (via addChild) a score sprite inside of the background sprite (the one that holds the bg canvas so the score appears on top of the bg canvas).

I'm trying to make a full browser webpage that utilizes the scrollRect type of class to pan around a movieclip that contains other movieclips and so on. The problem I run into is that when the browser window is resized that panning doesn't go with it. So panning to all the edges becomes impossible. I've tried a bunch of different stage resizing techniques but none of them give any good results. Here's the actionscript I'm currently working with:

hi guys, basically quick rundown is:
1. container1-->bitmap image with bitmapData.
2. container2-->bitmap image with bitmapdata.
3. im using the latest tweenmax
4. have correctly added a 2 seperate scrollrects to container1 and container2 that takes the width and height of the stage.
5. tweenmax is only moving the rectangles.
I get the effect i want, however, it still lags a choppy animation. Anyone know how come?
how I would convert this vertical scrollbar into a horizontal scrollbar
heres the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);

I have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).
