I have searched the internet and these forums for a easy to understand way to make a custome scroll bar for my dynamic text boxes. However I cannot find any, and this the code I have:
Var scrollupper:Number = ;var scrolllower:Number= ;
var textlower:Number= ;var textupper:Number= ;
var scrollRange:Number= scrolllower-scrollupper;var textRange:Number= textlower-textupper;
[code]....
if it's only textFields that you can make a custome scrollbar for? I found some custom scrollbar code, and it works fine on textfileds, but I have a container movieclip that holds some dynamically loaded movieclips. I want to be able to scroll the container if too many child clips are created. Also, how to you tell a container movieclip to not show the overflow of it's child mc's? The current container has it's child mc's overflowing through the bottom boundary.
View 1 RepliesI want to make a textfield where I load my text in (via txt or xml?). Depending on how much text I load in the textfield, the textfield will get longer and Therefore the scrollbar will get smaller/bigger.

I am loading some text from an XML file and plcaing it into dyncamically created TextField. But if the text is long, it doesn't comes automatically in next line and goes out of the screen. I I use Text Area, then it shows a scrollbar. How can I load text in such a manner that ir automatically comes to next line and doesn't even shows a scrollbar?
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a scrollbar for a dynamic textfield but do not want to use the common component. I found this script: [URL]. It seems very easy, but don't manage to have it work. And I don't understand how it manages the scrolling. it's only the 4 most essential lines I do not understand.
View 1 RepliesI am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;

//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library

I made a custom scrollbar for a textfield that works like a charm... but in it's "alpha-state", it was only showing where the text was scrolled to (and how long the text is, by it's own height)- you couldn't actually click the scrollbar and drag it. So I added a little AS to the actual scrolling block MC that *should* work... and kind of does- but not like I think it logically should..?

Curious to know if anyone has found any open source AS3 Scrollbar components that work with the TextField much in the way the V2 components of the same names worked.
View 4 RepliesI am loading xml and using Colin Moock's scrollbar as he desrcibes it in Essential Actionscript 3.0. It all worked fine until I tried to put a link to a jpg inside the xml.Where other html tags give no problem, the img seems to mess with the textfield height. I gave the textfield a fixed height but when I try to scroll the field with the image, and trace the textfield height, it increases more and more when I scroll down, messing up the scrollbar.the img tag looks like this (and it loads fine into the textfield):
Code:
<IMG ALIGN= "left" SRC='pics/portret.jpg' WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="207" HSPACE='0' VSPACE='10' />
The slightly adapted scrollbar class looks like this (I gave the scrolltrack a fixed height and tried to give t.height a fixed height too within this class but tracing t.height keeps showing that it is increasing while scrolling down):
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]..............
So I think that the code or flash doesn't handle the img very well,
I'm doing wrong here? I want to use a Blixt's scrollbar to scroll a dynamic textfield that's is set to a autosizing height.... And I'm having problems. I though I had finally found my perfect scrollbar.... it's so close!

I have a contact page and the textfield where you type your message is an Input textfield with multiline and textwrap enabled. The height of my textfield allows for 5 lines of text, then you will have to start scrolling after that.
I use a my own scroll bar nested in a movieclip with instance name "txtScroller"
The Input textfield instance name is "messageText"
What I want to do: I want to hide the "txtScroller" mc and show it when the user has typed more than 5 lines of text (using enter to break to a new line, etc).
Now for my problem: The first part of the code works, the "txtScroller" mc is hidden, and I have even tested it with the trace function (see code bellow).
I can for the life of me NOT get the the second part to work, the part where i want to show "txtScroller" mc again. I've treid with the trace function as well but it shows nothing in the 'output' pannel (see code bellow).
The Code:
This is all I have with regards to hiding or showing the "txtScroller" mc.
Code:
if (messageText.numLines <= 5) {
trace("less");
txtScroller.visible = false;

Have an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?
View 0 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
I'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function

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.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes.

View 4 RepliesI intend to make a Custom ScrollBar that would work with Loading dynamic MovieClips upon runtime. I want the ScrollBar to scroll through those MovieClips.
What i am trying to do exactly: I want to create a "who's online" Something, add a Movieclip with information of the client to that 'Something' and use a Custom ScrollBar to scroll the content(dynamic-added MovieClips) of that Something.
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:

function scrollMyContent()[code]..........
I'm having an issue with a scrollbar (slyder and line) going below the height of the text field when the text file contains a link to an image in an HTML text file. This only happens when there is a tag for the image in the text file, but not when it is text only. and the code for the text file:

View 2 RepliesI'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.
