ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling With Inertia(FLash MX)?
Jun 15, 2003
how to make a scrolling text box with inertia...I know there are many out there but the problem is the only ones I can find have inertia applied after you lift your finger off the button...which leads to jerky movement if you are scrolling a small section. The desired effect is like the scrolling text boxes used in www.fontsforflash.com.(they have developed a component...not good if you want to customize the look of the scroll bar) [URL].... provides an open source version of this movie clip but it again is not so easily customizable.There has got to be someone talented enough to do this and provide a tutorial for the rest of us..
I want to imitate the iPhone scroll behavior in a Flash app I am developing. The idea is to enable drag-drop with a certain amount of inertia/deceleration (you know, when you drop something while your cursor is still moving and the thing would continue moving for a moment and then stop).
I've been trying to make a scroller, but the movieclip IS the scroller (if that makes sense?)So I have a movieclip that's, say, 1920 wide, and the stage just resizes to the browser, and when you drag the movieclip it scrolls. I have this semi-working but it's quite buggy on resize, and i also want inertia on the movieclip when it moves.
i've spent lots of hours looking up the internet trying many techniques but nothing do.i just want to add inertia to my car.
var car:Car = new Car(); var power = 10; addChild(car); car.x = 470; car.y = 200; var dx = 0; var dy = 0; stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyhandler); function keyhandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void { switch(event.keyCode)[code].............
I'm trying to achieve a fairly simple effect--a dragging a MC with inertia.
Specifically, I'm trying to get this to happen:
1. When you click with the mouse on the MC (not the entire stage), the MC gets dragged along.
2. When you let go of the mouse button, the MC keeps going with inertia (slowly comes to a stop) that depends on the speed with which the MC was dragged and in the same direction. The MC shouldn't change directions if the unpressed mouse is moved around.
You know the effect when you drag an object and then when you let go it continues to move but slowing down. I'd like to do this to my movieclips can someone show me how?
how could i modify this script so that it has inertia, and so that i can movie diagonally? is there a better way of doing mc movement with keypresses?[code]
This code is a looped onRollOver, sa long as the mouse cursor is within "up", the movieClip moves up 3 pix at a time. I need it to slow down simulating inertia when the cursor is removed.I know a code that usually works.
f=0.3; xdest = 300; onEnterFrame = function () {[code].....
Does anybody know how I could make a MC keep moving a certain amount when I let go after dragging it. I want the distance it goes to be based upon how quick I moved the mouse before I let it go.
When you click and drag with the mouse, it gets dragged along, constrained to the x axis (left and right only).When the mouse button is the released the object keeps going at that speed and direction, the slows to a stop. If the unpressed mouse is the moved, the object DOES NOT change direction to follow the mouse.The object does not respond to or in any way follow the unpressed mouse; all it does it come to a stop when the mouse is released, as described above.
This is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?
I've got a clip which gets multiple clips attached dynamically.I'd like to make it scroll up or down based on user mousing over it and mouse position. I want it to ease and to increase in speed if the user mouses further up or down.[code]
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).
Im making a scrollable mc. Easiest thing in the world.... but the damn scoller just will not stop when the movie clip it's scrolling ends. It stops....eventully... but not close enough. What actionscript do I need to use and where do I put it?
I have created a vertical menu that scrolls through menu items in a movie clip.There is a big white gap when the movie clip runs out, and it snaps back to the beginning.I would like it to scroll seamlessly, having the end join up with the beginning again without any space.I would like it to scroll to one end of the list and STOP, and scroll back the other way and STOP - without any white space.URL...
I have been working on a site that will display a portfolio for a friend of mine who is a photographer. I want to have thumbnails that can be scrolled on the bottom of the page, and an area where the thumbnail is presented when selected. I have the thumbnails appearing. I have them loading, however, I can't get them to scroll when the mouse moves to the left or right of the row of images. he file can be viewed at...[URL] Here is the code I used for the slideshow:
I'm making a platform for a client, the designer is creating the levels, atfer few tiles ... he is not able to scroll, he has to select all the clips and push em back with shift+left arrow ... Where is another way of working ?
i ve put flash(1000x900) into html file and test it. Everything works fine except when my mouse pointer is over flash area or i click on some button iniside flash it wont scroll up or down, and when i am outside flash area it scrolls normal. In FF works great but in in IE does not work. This is very annoying beacose you have yo click outside flash everytime if you want to scroll. I am working with cs4 AS 2.0 and i try to export movies into flash 9 and flash 10 but it is the same problem.
I can get the text to scroll fine in Flash. But when I select the up arrow to go to the top of the scroll box there is a extra large gap. How do I set the script so the text stops right at the top?
I have a flash website and after I load the page the scroll works very good. After I click on another page inside the flash the scroll stop working unless I click outside the flash content. How can i make it work every time even if the mouse is over the flash content. I don't know very well to work in flash.
I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
I did a xml image gallery, with buttons for each image (using the duplicateMovieClip function + a for loop).Now i went to next step, I need to make a scroll for the menu, BUT, i don't have any idea how to set something to happen after the for loop is done.
My code so far:
Code: stop(); var yPos = -10; var depthCount = 1;
[code]....
Just for a simple test (since i noticed what i tried wasn't working well), I added a test movie clip and added a _visibile = false to be executed, i added it right after the closing of the for loop. I didn't had sucess thou, it happened before the loop .
I don't do much flash but can sort of get myself around. I'm having issues with a classic tween in CS4. I have a jpeg of magazine covers inside an MC that repeats a scrolling left movement. The client has commented that it comes across a little jerky and isn't smooth enough.
I'm a newbie web designer, and am working on a client's flash-run website, which is powered by a 3rd party template she gave me. I've done most of the text changing work, and I've uploaded the website at [URL] In the SERVICES page, there's a text area [left-top], which scrolls to a certain point and then stops at the line "VLCC". In the .fla file, there is text for at least another 20-30 lines below. how do I make the scroll work to its full length.
