Is it possible to create an inverted scrollbar? Because Im populating an empty movieclip with data and i want to scroll this data using a scrollbar, but instead of populating from the TOP TO BOTTOM Im populating the movieclip from the BOTTOM UPWARDS. Im having problems with my scrollbar if i did it this way. But if i populate the empty mc with data from TOP to BOTTOM, my scrollbar is working properly.
I am using bitmapData and bitmap classes to render a mouse cursor on the display screen. The bitmapData consists of an area whose colors should be inverted according to the background color. This is a very basic thing which could be observed with text cursor(the vertical line with two small horizontals on top and bottom), when moved over the text area. want to be able to do the same with the pixels in my bitmapData, is there a way to find out the background color effectively and invert the color values? In this process i will be redrawing the whole pixels, is there any other efficient way to do that ?
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.

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?
way to programmatically create a scrollbar? I did some research and only found components which is not practical in my case. I want to create a scroll bar for a movieclip. Examples or links to tutes would be cool.
I am trying to create a dynamic xml driven video playlist, that will display the thumbnail, title and time duration of the video (quite similar to the one on youtube). But I don't know where to begin and I have been googling for some helpful tutorials but cant find anything resourceful. guide me if I shall use the Flash component for scrolling purpose or I shall learn to develop my own scroller with scrollbar. If someone knows the link of some recommended tutorial, that would be great.
I am trying to create a custom scrollbar for a website... I watched the tutorial>[URL].asp on how to create one. I have the scrollbar working but it won't attach to the text! Here is the actionscript:
in flash8/mx04 is it possible to create a custom scrollbar for text only? i would like to make a dynamic text field with a scrollbar that doesnt need to be contained in a masked mc like most of the scrollers i have seen on this forum so far. i dont want to use the UIscrollBar component because it doesnt quite (well, doesnt at all) fit in with the theme of the project i am working on.
so I'm trying to create and input textarea with a scrollbar. No scrolling buttons needed. The app will be a font previewing app, where the user can change fonts, sizes etc. kinda like [URL](hit try on any font).
Everything works fine until the user wants to add some text. I've got an easing scrollbar thing going, which almost work, but the problem is in updating the scrollbar's position after the user has typed something in (tested using onSetFocus and onKillfocus). This scroller works with a mask and the x, y and height value of the masked clip.
So I started looking into scroll and thought I'd use that. Now I'm so puzzled that I can't figure out the best way to scroll and input textarea, so that the scrollbar's position would update according to the cursor's position in the text.
I've tried to use the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial to create a horizontal scrollbar instead of the vertical. I've changed the defenitions like this:
scrolling = function () { var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._Width; var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._Width;
[Code]....
I put the "Width" instead of the "height", and "x" instead of "y". What I've got is when I push on the "scrollFace" button it slides but disappears immidietly, and the the image (which is "movieclip" as well) beneath the masked area freezes.
* In addition - I have to make this scrollbar move from right to left - Is there any additional defenitions I must concern?
Is it possible to create a textbox with a scrollbar that can contain both text and images? Maybe some sort of ActionScript that has to do with loading external files that contains both text and images? But I presume that if it's going into a textbox, it'd have to be text.. I'd like my content in a textbox though (rather than in a movieclip) so it could be scrollable.
what I'd do is create my page in Fireworks with the text and images. So that way I can assign hyperlinks on keywords. Then the file would be saved as either PNG or HTML. Either way, could Flash import such files into a textbox and still preserve the hyperlinks?
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've found plenty of scripts for scrollbars that move a movie clip up and down within a mask. However, what I'm trying to do is create a scrollbar that changes the "scroll" attribute for an XML textbox. I already have it set up to work with scroll arrows. Here is the code I'm using below:
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)..
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?
