ActionScript 3.0 :: Automatic Scrolling Text - Pick The Scroll Speed
Jan 2, 2011
coding some automatic scrolling text? i've had a look around the internet, but all i can find is text that is scrolled using buttons. what i'm after is a way of coding text so it loads up into a text box (which i will call tf) (to start off with i don't mind putting it into the code as static text), scrolls on its own, and when it get to the end, it repeats the scroll, and is neverending. i would like it to go vertical (that ups the page in case i've picked the wrong one!), and be able to pick the scroll speed so i can slow it down or make it go faster. if someone can give me some sample code to get me going that would be great, and i'll try to sort out the rest myself.

I have the following scrip below, where I call some images through an XML, and create a gallery that every 3 seconds it moves to left, passing the pictures automatically. But my images are of different sizes in width, the height is the same.
var dados:XML = new XML();
dados.ignoreWhite = true;
dados.load("xml/" + _root.xmlport);

This is a Flash MX actionscript question - I thought that it would be a cool usability thing if, when the user gets to the bottom of the listbox, it scrolls down one or two places automatically.

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code].....
This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.

I just made a scroll area with buttons and draggable items. All the code is written for vertical scrolling, the content I need to be scrolled is going to be horizontal. how can I rewrite this code to be horizontal scrolling? it seems like the scroll button (the one you drag along) doesn't stay confined to its scroll line either.

I have 2 buttons that are currently scrolling a movie clip with this function on(rollover):
function moveMC(end, dir) { mc.onEnterFrame = function() { if (Math.abs(mc._x-end)>1) { mc._x += dir*step; } else { mc._x = end; } };}
How is it possible to get get it to scroll at 2x that speed on(press) ?

The dragger in my scroll bar seems to work at a good pace but when I hold down the buttons the text seems to crawl at snails pace up and down. Is there anything I could add to the action script to speed up the rate at which the text scrolls when the buttons are held down? I think I found this script in the kirupa site somewhere. I tried adjusting the "speed" but it didn't seem to change anything. (using Flash MX 2004 with ActionScript 2.0)
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false;
space = 20;

I have a custom class that extends List which I am using as a container. However, the scroll speed is too fast on the mouse wheel, as in it scrolls loads even if you only move the wheel a tiny bit. I tried adding an event listener to my list for MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL and setting the value of event.delta but this has had no effect. Does anyone know how I can make it slower?My custom class is nothing special, I just created it so I could have a different itemRenders for different item types. It looks like:[code]

Got this problem here with my thumbnail scroller, and I'm sure it's a fairly simple solution. Basically, it scrolls fine, but the scroll speed never decreases, meaning it scrolls really fast the whole time. I'd like it to accelerate/deaccelerate if possible. Here is the code I'm using for the scrolling:
Code:
thumbHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, thumbScroll);
function thumbScroll(evt:MouseEvent) {

I'm using the following code to continuously scroll an image. I want to keep the mouseover but I need a way to make it scroll at an idle speed when the mouse isn't over the image.
onClipEvent (load) {
mouseOn = false;
xcenter=600;
speed=1/10;
}on(rollOver){
[Code] .....
I also noticed the image jumps to the left when the mouse is over it.

I need to do an endless horizontal scroll of elements within a parent MovieClip.No matter what ever method I try, an element of 'drift' occurs and eventually the elements start to overlap.I've tried using relative recursive tweening for each element according but this method seems prone to quite a bit of error after repeated starts and stops.
//CODE START
function doScroll():void {
TweenLite.to(this, .25, {x:"20", ease:Linear.easeNone,onUpdate:checkPos,onComplete:doScroll});
}
//CODE END
I've reverted to doing absolute tweens to a predefined position using a contant speed. This seems to be more accurate but still some 'drift' occurs.
//CODE START
//_dest is predefined
var speed:Number = 500;
var dist:Number = this.x - _dest;

I am using a horizontal thumb scroller which i ahd acuired from the internet. the scroller works fine but the issue is, the scroll speed is directly related to teh thumbnails present.When i am having 10-20 thumbs the auto scroll is smooth. but when the thumbs increase to say 50+ even the slightest mouse movement cause the the thumb to scroll at rapid pace rendering the thumbnail scroller useless. Can anyone help me to modify the script so that i can reduces or control teh scroll speed. Or if tahts not possible how do i add a next prev button so taht i can take away the auto scroll and fwd/rewind the thumbs one by one or a batch at each click. I am attching the fla file for reference

got stuck trying to design an automatic vertical text scroller. Here is what I set out to do:
- Have a news ticker like box through which text will be vertically scrolling.
- The textual content will come from an external text file.
- The text in the external file will also have click-able html links.
- When the mouse enters the content area, the scrolling would stop.
- If any link is visible in the content area at that time, the user will be able to click on it.
- When the mouse leaves the content area, the scrolling would continue.
Basically, it's an html marquee which you see in so many pages these days.
The following was my approach to solving the problem. Got very close and then got stuck
- I created a Dynamic Textbox and have it load from the external file. The dynamic textbox has multiline and autoSize set to true. So the size of it grows depending on the content from the external file.
- Next, converted the "textbox with external loading" into a movie clip and named it content_mc.
- Created a rounded rectangle (my viewing area) and converted that to a movie clip called mask_mc.
- On the stage, the content_mc is in one layer (content) and the mask_mc is in another layer (mask).
- Added another layer (action) and on the first frame of the main timeline, I entered the Action Script to set the mask_mc as the mask for content_mc.
- Also in this AS, I align the content_mc top with the mask_mc top so that the content is visible at the start.Then in the content layer, I inserted a movie clip "controller". This clip has two frames and all it does is it moves the _root.content_mc up by a fixed unit until the bottom of content_mc is over the mask_mc top. At that point, it sets the top of the content_mc back to the top of mask_mc.
Since I have little to no flash training, you can understand my excitement when the above steps worked and I got a fairly smooth scrolling text fitted in my viwing window. I could also click on all the links in my text. Yayyy!Then I took on the task of making the scroll stop and resume on mouse enter and leave event. What I did was:
- In the action script on the action layer, I simply defined two content_mc.onRollOver and content_mc.onRollOut functions. In the first I stop the controller movie clip and in the second, I play the controller movie clip.
The above strategy also worked as I wanted but it created a new problem! Whenever the mouse enters the mask area, the mouse pointer turns into a clicking hand cursor (the one you use to click on links); and it doesn't allow me to click on any of the html links anymore! It's almost as if the content_mc movie clip has turned into a button!
Regardless to say, this is unacceptable in my case if I cannot click on the html links in the original text content. I have googled quite a bit and must admit that I haven't had much luck (why else would I be posting here and other places?). I desperately need someone's assistance with solving this. Some of the approaches I have seen on google wouldn't work for me. For example, having invisible buttons for the html links. Of course that wouldn't work since my text is coming from an external text file over which I have no control.
