ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Scroll Text With Custom Buttons
Sep 23, 2010
I'm trying to get my website updated, which normally would not be a big deal, except that during the course of updates, I discovered my site was created using AS1 and now I have to convert to AS3, which seems like a foreign language to me. I'm making progress, except that my latest problem relates to custom buttons.On a couple of my pages I made a static text box into a movie clip and placed it behind a mask. I made custom buttons to fit into the look and feel of my site, which control the "text box movie clip". I don't want to use the generic "UI Scroll" that Flash gives you (even though it's probably the easy way out) because it doesn't fit with my site design.I was given code to use for my buttons, but I get an error when I test my movie.The error I get is an 1120 Error: "Access of Undefined Property" on lines 3 and 14.[code]

I've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).

I'm updating my website and found out that I originally created it using AS1. I now need to update to AS3 and am having difficult time learning AS3 or even catching on to the basics. On two of my pages, I created a static text box, which I turned into a movie clip to have controlled by buttons. I got my down button to work, but I'm still having a problem with my up button. I can get it to work if I use the same code as my "down", but then my movie clip text continue scrolling down, instead of up. Here is my current set up:
Movie clip controller that is 3 frames:
Frame 1: stop action
Frame 2: blank
Frame 3: gotoAndPlay(2);
[Code].....

I've set-up a custom scroll bar from an on-line tutorial. I have put placeholder text (I have proper text to fill in later) into a static text field that is inside a movie clip on the main timeline which can scroll with as2 however only shows 2/3 of the text. I've tried to see if there is a character limit for the field?

I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar

I have set up a small application which has a movieClip (named "GuruQuestions") with a mask over it, a scrollbar which you can grab and drag and currently, it does precisely what I want it to do.
However, my boss has decided he no longer wants a 'click and drag' scrollbar, and would instead like just 2 buttons to scroll, so essentially, when the user hovers over the button, it scrolls.
I have found several threads about using this method with dynamic text, but none for using a movieClip.

How do I have a standard ScrollBar (or ScrollPane) scroll a custom MovieClip?
Basically, I am creating a custom menu list, and need to have a standard looking scroll bar able to scroll all of the items. If I am making this from scratch, what is the best method? It seems that the ScrollBar component only works with a TextField, and that the ScrollPane only works with importing external images or SWFs. Is there a way to use the ScrollPane to target a MovieClip?

i was under the impression after reading some posts on this forum that the flash mx component scroll bar could be edited and manipulated easily by breaking down the pieces (arrows, bar, ect) and changing color ect as seen fit?( i just was a black scroll handle that is pink on mouseover, and i want to delete the up and down arrows alltogether.)

I have a dynamic textbox I would like to scroll. Currently I have 2 images set to scroll up and down with the following actionscript.
[Code]...
The code works fine, though I want when I press, the box to keep scrolling. Currently I have to press, press, press, press, to get a small amount down.

I am making a scroll bar but it doesn't scroll as far as it should. I triple checked all my math but I can't find anything wrong. Probably the code of interest is on the movie clip content0 within the instance whole. This is what actually controlls the scrolling. Most of the other script dictates how the sliders work so you can ignore that, they work fine. Scroll index is a number between 0 and 1 indicating how far down the bar the slider is, 0 it hasnt moved, 1 it is at the bottom. That works as well. So i am not sure why this doesnt work.

I have created a custom Flex widget by extending UIComponent that I call FlexMapBuilderWidget. I have overriden the various UIComponent methods for measurement, children, display list, etc.
I used this widget to replace a plain old Sprite so that I could add some layout based functionality. When the Sprite was there, I was able to get scrollbars using:
Code:
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%">
<s:Group width="100%" height="100%" clipAndEnableScrolling="true">
<gapView:MapBuilderWidget id="mapDisplay" />
[Code]....
I have done test output to check the reported size of the FlexMapBuilderWidget in its measure() and updateDisplayList() methods, the size is always reported as a large enough number to require scrollbars.

I'm trying to create a custom view (one that is not 100% listview, for example), mix and matching images and labels.One issue is that when the label overflows greater than the screen height, the rest just gets off. I had assumed scrolling or touch-drag scrolling would be automatically enabled? How do you enable the touch-drag scrolling that happens naturally in list view?
