ActionScript 2.0 :: Swf Not Loading Into ScrollPane?
Oct 9, 2006
I am loading a menu consisting of a library of items, based on my XML file into a combo box. I have menu working correctly. When I click on an library item in the combo box, it's supposed to load the items into my scrollPane called "thumbs". Now what is happening is, the appropriate number of items are getting loaded to the scrollPane in the form of a movieClip called appropriately "thumbs_mc", but the actual swf doesn't get loaded. I can't seem to figure out whats going on.
Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
libraryList_ar = new Array();
I have a swf that is loading another swf into a ScrollPane. The swf being loaded is large...around 4mb. My problem is that sometimes it loads fine, sometimes it loads without the scrollbar, and sometimes you need to refresh the page before it loads fully and correctly. My question: How can I easily test that it has fully loaded and that the scroll bars are displaying? I've tried various scenarios with ProgressBars, etc., but even when 100% loaded, the scroll bars do not consistently load.
I have been working on a file for a while now and I am trying to load an external swf into a scrollpane. The external swf gets all its content from an xml file (there is nothing on the stage, it's all done through as3) My problem is that when I load the swf into the scrollpane I don't get the scroll bars and most of my content is cut off. I have tried setting the scroll policy to auto, and true, neither helped. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
The site is structured with all content inside entireSite, with two further movie clips nested myMenu, which contains all the button movieclips (rollovers etc) and AS to navigate the site and another entitled allPages which contains all the content.
on entrance to the site i want a grid of images appears which is scrollable using scroll pane. I have managed to achieve this just on a standalone .fla following this tutorial with the code
now i have structired my site properly im having difficulty getting it to load correctly. I have the correct instance names for scrollpane and the linkage for the movie clip i want to load. im just wondering that now my scrollpane is nested in entireSite then allPages that the code will not recognise it?
How do i make it point to it? Also, as i move between different pages of the site more content will require a scrollPane, can i just use different instance names to do this?
Or should i go about removing the movieclip in scrollpane and adding a new one?
whats up with the scrollpane.Ive got it loading my swf files into it but for sum reason u can press the buttons even if theyre not showing. see below see the button on the top left how it is darkened, this is the over state, but the mouse isnt actualy on the button, its above the scrollpane area, but its still being selected and is able to be clicked.
i am trying to import an external movie clip in a scrollpane in my flash movie my external movie is an animated sequence which expands on click of a button much like a data tree but here its just images so now i want that when someone clicks on the expand button the scroll should appear but i ran into this problem that the swf load perfect but no matter what i do the scroll either doesn't appears or even if its there it won't scroll through the complete swf rather just 5px in vertical i defined a few basic properties in AS and some through the property inspector Check the attachment below if u want to
I am developping a player with Articulate Presenter and Flash. I would like to put thumbnails that are in a special folder in swf, into a scrollPane. The scrollPane itself is in a clip loaded when I click on the Thumbnails Tab.
Here is my simplified code :
ActionScript Code: // I first preload the thumbnailsPanel containing the scrollPane var thumbnailsPanelClip:MovieClip = completeMenu.attachMovie("thumbnailsPanel","thumbnailsPanel",completeMenu.getNextHighestDepth()); thumbnailsPanelClip._y = 35;
[code]....
Well, my problem is that the ScrollPane is not scrolling until the end of the thumbnails, so I don't know if all the thumbnails are loaded. And even worse, exactly one time on two, the Scroll Bar is not showing at all ... !is it a scrollPane pb ? I use it many times in other parts of my project without any problem ... or is it because there are too many thumbnails ? I have around 30 - 40 to load ..
I m trying to dynamically loading different images and want them to apear in a scrollPane or Simply scrolled area. I tried different ways but did not find good one for me.
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?
I googled this online, and almost all of them start with dragging the scrollpane from the component toolbar.
I don't like the way this scrollpane looks. How to change the color, shapes, etc. Can I do this through altering the code, or do I need to start from scratch?
I know that you can access the scrollpane's content by writing: scrollPane.content...But how can I access the scroller - with that I mean the thumb and up & down arrows...I would like to do something like this for example:
for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) { newOpt = Stocklist_MC.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i);
I've got a ScrollPane on the root stage. This loads a MC called 'Stocklist_MC' (this also has a linkage/export name of 'Stocklist_MC'). When I try to use '.attachMovie' to the movieclip (Stocklist_MC) inside the ScrollPane nothing appears. All the AS is on frame 1 of root. Everything works when I use '.attachMovie' with _root. for (i=0; i<policy.length; i++) { newOpt = _root.attachMovie('Option', 'Option'+i, i); Also, if I drag Stocklist_MC to the stage I get everything working but list gets cut off at bottom, which is the reason why I need it in a scrollPane.
i am using ScrollPane to load some swf. I zoom content and use "scrollDrag = true and false ". But if i use scrollDrag = true, and than scrollDrag = false and in the content was some movie clips, that have some AS on it(maybe onPress) it will be DISABLED! every script is disabled on the MC-s what was in the content of the Scrollpane.
I have a SWF file, with it's own buttons and events etc. that I am trying to load into a scrollpane in a parent application, and have it be scale-able (i.e. zoom in and out).It doesn't need to animate zoom, click to new scale is ok for now.[code]Everything seems to work except the scale statements at the end, they generate a compiler error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at InspectorShell()
how to set the scrollpane's background color in AS3 with CS4?You can't seem to use _Globals, setStyle,and opaqueBackground doesn't seem to work effectively.
I have used a scrollpane on my new site, it scrolls but only if you click the arrows or click in the scroll bar, if you actuall try and scroll by dragging (which people would because it's long) it vanishes![URL]
i was wondering whats up with the scrollpane. Ive got it loading my swf files into it but for sum reason u can press the buttons even if theyre not showing. see below
see the button on the top left how it is darkened, this is the over state, but the mouse isnt actualy on the button, its above the scrollpane area, but its still being selected and is able to be clicked.
In the first frame of my main movie i include a AS file.In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named shoutbox_holder. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips window1, window2.. also from the liberary. This works very well, because I see the mcs in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder |_window1
window2
window3
I want the shoutbox_holder to attach to a scrollpane, so i did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the liberary to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert shoutbox_holder(pointing to the mc created in the as file).
I have checkBoxes within a scrollPane on the main stage. The buttons associated with those checkBoxes are also on the main stage (can't be withing the scrollPane). But I can't get the actionscript to work.
Checkbox for Blue (placed on main stage) work's fine Checkbox for Red is the problem one Instance = the instance name of the scrollPane Identifier = the Identifier name of the content within the scollPane
Code: button.onRelease=function(){ if (chbox_BLUE.selected) { BLUE._visible = true
I have a scrollpane and I have set it's source to a Sprite:
Code: _pane.source = spriteContainer;
Before hand, I added all of my labels and components to the container itself. The scrollpane works in that it will scroll up and down for me... the problem is that it won't scroll down far enough - it cuts off half of the last textfield.
I have done a lot of searching and have tried adding a ".invalidate();" method... I've even tried resizing the sprite itself, but to no avail.
1. Go to hexapartners.net/Application2. Click on "Upload own graphic"3. A new window will open, upload ur image in that.4. Click on "Icon" on hexapartners page and select "Uploaded" category from combo box.5. You will see ur uploaded image in the scrollpane and when u click on that it will be loaded on the right sideFor static images i have done as follows :-1) Convert image to button and add on press event in it. 2) In on press event, i added loadMovie(url,mc) so image gets added to movieclip.3) Then i converted this button to movieclip as i wanted to add it to a scrollpane.4) After that i used attachMovie() to add this movieclip to scrollpane.
I'm using AS2 in Flash CS4. I have a web site that needs to show either Japanese or English text, depending on which option the user selects. My code works well, but when I try to load the text boxes into a scrollpane on the news page, the text doesn't show.so my code is very simple.
I am using createEmptyMovieClip to create MC's based on values from an array. The MC's are placed into the FScrollPaneSymbol component. They load ok however the getURL that should be loaded from the array doesn't work. I've only been able to get it working if I put in an onEnterFrame function but that makes it assign the last url from the array to all the MC's.
Code: foo.onEnterFrame = function() { for (q in portfolio.sections[0].items) { //loader[thumbX] is a dynamically created MC[code].......
If the array values are 1,2,3 it assigns the geturl for each of the MC's to "3";Do I even have to use the onEnterFrame for the ScrollPane/MC's?
I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?
