View 1 RepliesI want to be able to display a paragraph where if the text being shown is (say) over 15 lines long, then a link text will appear and if click it will expand.
Example:
This is a long line for here so I need to make more display but I cant so what will (More)... <== this more link will be clicked and the rest will show up below this paragraph expanded to show the rest of it. (Close)... <== this close link will be clicked and the rest of the page will be hidden again.
Can this be done in Flex? Here is a link example done in javascript [URL].
I'm using AS3, loading external text into a text box. Let's say the text box shows 20 lines of text. Is there a way to trigger some kind of action, for example, changing an image on the stage if the user scrolls the text and line 30 appears in the textbox? Kind of like a cue point for scrolling text.
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm tryin 2 do in Flash MX 2004 is create a Dynamic Textbox that scrolls. However I want the scroller to be on the left hand side and to be made up of my own custom graphic.All I need is for the user to be able to drag and pull the 'scroller' up and down.Heres a short animation of what I wuld like.Basically they pull the green arrow up and down to scroll through the text. The arrow cannot go up past the text vanishing point neither below it.

View 4 RepliesI'm making a flash movie (in cs4 as2) with some textboxes that should enter the stage when a button is being clicked. I have made one box that works the way it should, and now I'm about to make several boxes that looks similar (different size/different text though). Is there an easy way to make a copy of the finished textbox, or should I duplicate every object in it to make new ones?
View 4 RepliesI have a graphic on it's own layer (bottom), and a dynamic text box inside a movie clip on the layer above. I am embedding the font. All I want is the text to show on top of the graphic without the massive ugly white rectangle that houses the text.
View 4 RepliesIf I create a textbox using createTextField, is there a way to make it an input field, instead of dynamic? Also, how can I put a border around it, like you can when you create them manually.
Is there a way of doing a division with a remainder instead of a decimal? The best I could think of was splitting the whole number and the decimal and then multiplying the decimal by whatever it was originally divided by. If that is the best way, how would I find the whole number, if I round it, it might go up instead of down, which I don't want.

My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

View 12 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash and have developed this application using AS3.0.I have a screen which lists file descriptions. The file descriptions are in a movie clip and the movie clip is added to the stage in a scroll panel (instance name aSp). This part I have working fine.The file descriptions movie clip is called AbstractDisplay and it is basically a textarea. When the file description exceeds the size of my box, scroll arrows appear. Again this is what I want.Now to the part I can't get to work. I want to be able to click on the movie clips that are in my aSp Scroll Pane. If I make the individual movie clips that I put in my scroll pane clickable, I lose the ability to scroll the text in the individual movie clips. Here is the code that I have so far. This code is within a loop and I'm only showing the code that sets up the movie clip.
// Setup abstract to place in abstractContainer
mcMain = new AbstractDisplay;// Get new instance of AbstractDisplay
mcMain.name = "a" + i;// Set instance name

I am making a flash game for a school project, and I decided to make a stick fighting game.once the enemy attacks the player their health just drains. The only way I can fix it is if I have a decimal instead of a whole number, but I have the variable of the health in a text box to display the players current health and it doesn't look to good with a decimal number.So, I am wondering if there is a way to make the health decrease by a decimal, but show a whole number in the textbox.[code]

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;

basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.
