ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Content Scroller (from XML) With Hover State
Oct 23, 2009
I was able to get the links working as they should but i can find no way to get the hover effect (not even the doopingTextArea class) I have content coming in through XML (a list of words and link)... I'm trying to create a menu where when you rollover the word the entire background area of that menu item changes color. Just like a CSS menu that creates a hover state that fills the entire background area of that item. Since the content is dynamic, it would need to have a scrollbar that expands/contracts etc.

Add Button with dynamic text and hover state
I haven't used flash for a bit but I'm really stuck on something that should be simple.
I want to add buttons or MoiveClip to make a navigation.
Each button will have different text on it and they need a hover state that changes the color of the text.
I have done this to add the buttons with text. This works but I do get an error message.
How can I change the color of the text when I hover over the button ? How can I stop the error message ?

Can someone point me in the right direction to making a functional Smooth Dynamic Scroller just like [URL] (Under Portfolio). I'm not saying "The Same" - I mean like, be able to have two icons that I create (One Up and One Down) then have them function the same as the 2Advanced website. Click and hold, it smoothly rolls down/up, release it stops. Also for it to only scroll as far as the content does.

i am making a scroller and need to have it so that when you hover on the up or down buttons, then it will keep moving the designated layer up or down. right now the event handler i am usiing (onRollOver) doesnt really work right because it only moves one pixel, then you need to roll off and roll back on.... i am thinking there must be some do... while statement for the rollover action but i cant find it...

I have flash which contains the map of the United States. Each state is a separate button. When each state is in hover mode, it changes the look/size of that state and adds names of the cities in white on the particular state.I would actually like to add 2 things to this flash.
1) When the state is hovered over, not only will the state change, but the cities belonging to that state (in the list to the right, will highlight)
2) I would like the city names in the list, when hovered over to highlight and to activate the hover mode of that particular state. In addition, that cityName button in the list and the state button should be able to direct to a URL upon hit.
I currently have each state as a button with each state's hover mode changes.I will be changing the cityNames into buttons (they are currently MCs).Once I change the CityNames into Buttons, then modify their hover modes to look like a highlight, then I know to do the following for the URL direct:[code]One of these will go on each text cityname button. But how do I tell the button to also activate the NewYorkState_btn into hover mode?I will also need each State image button to automatically arrange to the front when they are hovered so that they will not be overlapped by other states.Also, What do I do to get each state to hover and simultaneously highlight the appropriate CityName button(s) in the list?I have included an image below (FLashMapHover.jpg) so that it is a bit more clear what I am trying to do.

I need to trigger the hover state of a Flex button programatically, so that it looks like the user is hovering over it. There is a flex page about "Manually dispatching events":
[URL]
Which would work, but what I'd really like to do is change the style of the button without having to throw an event. How can I do this?

anyone who takes the time to read and answer this post. I'm having an issue on a file that I'm working on at work. The basis of the project is that its an image of a map, with windmills on certain cities. When you rollover the windmill various things happen. The turbine starts to spin, information about the project in that city shows up in dynamic text boxes, etc.
Anyway, I have one movie clip for the windmill with actionscript (that makes the things mentioned above happen) on the actual symbol, so I do not have to create different movieclips for each city. However, due the way this works, when your mouse touches one of the blades of the windmill turbines, the turbine spinning animation stutters. This happens because when the turbine moves it causes your mouse to rollOut of and rollOn to the windmill rapidly.
It seems that I need to create a hit state for the windmill that is smaller than the bounding box for the entire movieclip. I'm unsure how to do this since the on(rollOver) and on(rollOut) states of the movieclip prevent me from being able to place that type of actionscript on the actual hit state (which would be inside of the movieclip). I could easily just take the actionscript on the main movieclip symbol and put it on JUST the hit state inside, however, I would need 60 different movieclips of the windmill for each city if I did it this way.
Is there any way that I can define a hit state that is smaller than the bounding box of my movieclip button, so that I do not have to create 60 different movieclips? I forgot to mention: Unfortunately since I'm doing this for a client at work, I can not post my file up anywhere to show. So if you need any more information or I was not specific enough please let me know. Also, I can post my code if need be.

I have this code about navigation using movieclip buttons. I just made the currently selected button disabled when it is in the current page but I just cant figure out on how to maintain it in its hover state (It keeps on returning to its normal state).
Here's the code I've written on the first frame on the main timeline(scene1), I have 4 buttons namely mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4 and 4 labeled frames, page1, page2, page3 and page4.:
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

I created a project w/a dynamic html scroll box on one page/spot on timeline. I want to use the same scroll box, but have it call a different .htm file for different content at a different part of my timeline.My problem is the file naming. I tried to just copy the entire scroller project I made and append a "_2" to all the file names, so that they wouldn't interfere with my original scroller in my main project, but that didn't work out.Is there anyway to duplicate the original scroller within my project and just have it call a different file?

Is there a way to get the content of a component inside a scroller to be at 100% height.
here is a simple example:
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%">
<s:viewport>
<s:Group height="100%">
[Code]....
As you can see, the green bar (set at 100% height) is just using the height of the viewport, not that of it's parent group, that is stretched by the red one to be 500px high.

I am having a little difficulty properly sizing a Scroller component in Adobe Flex/Flash 4. As soon as I add an element to the 'widgetsGroup' VGroup, the scroller's height property resizes to match that of its parent border container, even though the content height of the vGroup may be significantly less than this value. This is a problem because the scroller then 'covers' other elements in the border container. I guess what I am looking for is the scroller height to match the widgetGroup content height until this height exceeds the bordercontainer height, at which point the scroll bar would become visible.

I am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.

got a little flex application where the content is zoomable.first of all some code
<s:Scroller verticalScrollPolicy="on" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:Group scaleX="{breite}" scaleY="{hoehe}"
id="mapView" > <!-- zum zoomen -->
[code]....
The zoom just works fine by changing the value from 1 up to 3 with a slider. Midpoint of the zoom is the center of the container (map).My problem: when i zoom, the scroller cuts a part of the groups. it zooms out of the window?!

I have spent the last 2 weeks searching the web for a tutorial on content scrolling. I have a movieclip/graphic that I want to scroll from left to right on the stage. Example of what I am trying to do: [URL] but without the vertical scroll. There seems to be a couple of AS2 tutorials around I doing it in AS3.

I have the following spark Scroller
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" gap="0">
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%">
<s:DataGroup width="100%" height="100%"
[Code]....
which is set to 100% width. The DataGroup is also set to 100% width. What I want to achieve is for the scroller's vertical scrollbar to OVERLAP the DataGrid. In other words I want the DataGroup to maintain the width of the outer VGroup even when the vertical scrollbar is displayed. I don't need the vertical scrollbar to move my content to the left, i want it to be displayed in top of that.

I have one very large movieclip, and I'd like to create a very smooth (eased), tween, that moves it around the stage, on mouse move. so far, I've read the "get mouse direction" article, and that's helped a lot. and I'm calculating the distance the mouse is moving.. and that's all good and dandy,.. but I'm having a little trouble converting that into a smooth scroll.. I'd like to use tweenmax preferably, and not an on enterframe.

Trying to make a custom scroller which works but the odd thing is that when i drag the scroller to the bottom, the content scrolls the opposite way. So when the scroller is at its start point,the content is at its end point and when i scroll it to the end point the content reverses to the start point. Here is what I'm using
Code:
var scrollLower:Number = -92;
var scrollUpper:Number = 39;
var textLower:Number = -92;[code]....

I've tried for hours and days to make my vertical text content scroller working in a flash fake 3d environment with rotationX / Y. But because of vector>bitmap conversion when 3d roationing, the scroller fails to works. I know the stratDrag method fails to work in a 3d environment. other than using PV3D or so ? cause I don't know how to work with PV3D, it's just tooooo complicated to get it for me.

I have a component with 2 states and I have added transitions for switching between the states, where 2 Move affects are applied to 2 different objects. This all works fine, however, after the transition from the first state to the second has completed the second state doesn not render correctly. It contains a TextInput control which is not visible, and a Button with a custom skin that is only sometimes visible and vanishes if you click on it. I have tried called invalidateDisplayList() and validateNow() after loading the second state but that has done nothing. I also have a VBox with a cornerRadius property set, strangely this does not seem to apply anymore and the corners are square, where they displayed correctly before I added the transition in.Here is the code for my states and their transitions:
<!-- different states of this component -->
<mx:states>
<s:State name="useForFree"[code].....
where the variables being set as masks are UIComponent instances where I have used their graphics property to draw a rectangle.

I am busy converting my online digital portfolio from AS2 to AS3. I have made a new .fla and placed within it only the elements that relate to my question, to greatly simplify things so it is easy to see what I want to do.Lets say I have 3 movieclip buttons, which do three things when hovered over :
1. play a shine animation
2. move slightly
3. cause a tooltip description to appear / fade in, somewhere else on screen.
When mouse moves off, the above 3 things revert to normal and the description fades out.These buttons serve to show a description of the relevant project in my projects folder (project1.html, peoject2.html and project3.html, for demonstration purposes), and to link to them when clicked. The point is that I am trying to do this dynamically, so I have one movieclip(called descriptions) that contains all the descriptions each on its own frame, and use something like
//pseudocode
when button 1 is hovered over, descriptions.goToAndStop(1);
It is difficult for me to explain - but if you just run my swf and also take a quick look at my code (its not a lot) you will know exactly what I am trying to do.
In summary: Basically if you run my swf, you will see 3 buttons. When you hover over each, they are all saying Description 1, but I want button 1 to show description 1 and button 2 to show description 2 etc.Key items / code to look at inside the .fla are :
1. the first frame on the main timeline, actionscript layer - the code
2. the descriptionsHolder movieclip on the descriptions layer
3. the projectDescriptions movieclip inside the descriptionsHolder movieclip
4. the dynamic button (double click any of the buttons) - this is the idea I want for the descriptions too, its a reusable button that has the label 'button1' on all 3 buttons but with some code - the labels change at runtime to button1, button2 and button3.
5. the code inside the dynamic button movieclip on frame 1, actionscript layer.
6. note the buttonLabel movieclip inside the button movieclip, same thing I want done for the descriptions.
6. Also to please note, my code for linking each button to a project (not working)- that I also want to be a reusable function, for assigning a variable to contain the link for the dynamic button, depending on which instance of it is clicked -> go to either project1.html, project2,html or project3.html. I am trying to 'think like a programmer' and use modular, dynamic stuff, but it seems I am having trouble assigning variables or individual frames at runtime to multiple instances of the same dynamic movieclip.

I have been trying to figure out how to create this movieclipI have a bunch of images which is laid out horizontally (x axis). The functionality is very simple, when I click on the movieclip it will allow me to drag it from right to left and vice versa. This part is simple enough. I face a problem when it comes to the end and the beginning of the movieclip. How do I make it undraggable when it reaches the end of the movie clip and vice versa when I drag it back to the beginning.

I've created a horizontal dynamic text scroller (like latest news ones found on some websites) in flash 8 with as2, and this swf file reads data from a .txt file. the problem is that when change the txt in the file, it doesnt show in my browser until i clear its cache. But if a client doesnt clear cache he will get the old text...I would like to know how to prevent the browser from caching that swf content, any code or script will be most welcomed. I've tried to add <meta> tags in my html but of no use.
my embed code is like this:
<embed width="980" height="34" align="left" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

I've been trying to create an XML based portfolio site, where images are loaded dynamically so the client can update it. I've managed this part ok, however, I want the images to be in a scroll panel so that as the client adds more and more images you can scroll through them. I've got it however, I'm struggling withlimiting this panel so that you can scroll the images infinately (ie: off the screen!)[URL]
