ActionScript 3.0 :: ScrollBar Formula - Add Extra Space After Content?
Feb 11, 2011
so i have some scrollbar(track and button) and some content.the formula i am using to calculate to calculate y of content is the following:
//contentStarting.y and scrollbarButtonStarting.y are positions of sprites at the moment they are created
content.y = -((contentStarting.y -scrollbarButtonStarting.y) +scrollbarButton.y) * ((content.height- content.mask.height) / (scrollbarTrack.height - scrollbarButton.height));
the only problem i have is that i need to add extra space after content, so basically i want forumla to act as if content. height = content.height + extraSpace , but unfortunatelly setting the height scalesY, which is what i don't want.

I can't figure out how to get rid of extra white space in the browser at the top of a swf file. It looks fine when I preview the file, but when I do publish preview in flash/ try to incorporate in HTML, there's an extra 1/4" at top of window.

I am currently maintaing a multi-linual app. It uses LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to populate dynamic fields with text appropriate to the user's current language. It works fine, except in a few cases. Certain Cyrillic characters, as well as certain Latin characters (such as Å) appear with an extra space after them. I have not figured out a way around this. I am using embedded fonts, and am embedding all the appropriate characters.
I've tried using different fonts, and I get the same problem with the same characters across all fonts. If I use device fonts, there is no problem, but this would have to be a last resort, since I'd like to have antialiasing, etc available. I have trace()-d the strings and have confirmed that there's no funny business going on with sendAndLoad(); the text is being properly downloaded.
Note that I am using Flash 8 targeting Flash 6, but targeting Flash 8 doesn't fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or a similar one.

I've developed a relatively simple calendar app in Flash that reads an XML file and displays text based on what day it is. A different bit of text displays in the same text box. Since the text is of varying lengths, I wrote a function to resize the text to be large enough or small enough to fit the box. Here's my function:
Code:
// Generic function for increasing text size to fill its container
function AutoTextResize(textElement, maxHeight):void {
textElement.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
[Code]....
It behaves as if the textHeight is LARGER than the height of the box, despite the values it outputs in the traces.

Using the following code, I push data from an xml file into a classic dynamic text box that is configured to render text as html. For some reason there is an obscene amount of white space between paragraphs. I am not sure why it is there since I have already set it to ignore white space. How would I get rid of it?

I'm using loadVars to import text from a text file and then put it into a dynamic text field - rendered in HTML. There is an extra space in the first line of text for some reason. I've checked the dynamic text field and theres no spaces or returns in it - its empty before putting the text into it.

k, so i have a function that checks to see if a user name and email that's being registered already exists in my DB. if the user name previously exists, a 1 is returned. 2 for email and 3 in neither previously exist. if i hard code my user name an existing user name, "joe", who already exists, into my php file and run it in my browser, i get an echoed answer of "1" as i should- nothing less, nothing more. if i don't hard code it and run "joe" over from flash and trace(event.target.data);, i get 1 with a bunch of carriage returns after it in my output window.

I have a movie that is 2000px in height and some objects are duplicating vertically adding up by 100px. Say I have 5 objects so there is only 500px of content, is there anyway to use javascript from flash to limit the scrollbar to 500px instead of the full 2000?

The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t);
function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
EXTA INFO:
* the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'

I have a scrollbar in which a very long list which I can't make any shorter / smaller.roblem is, the script for the scroller demands that I place the text at 0,0 on the Flash axis, and the lenght of the text makes it run way down to the lower edge of the Flash workingfield.Somehow this makes the text run 'beyond reach' of the scrollbar; the scroller only shows about 2/3 of the list, and does not show the text beyond that point.How can I extent the reach of the scrollbar??? Can I shift the 0,0 point of the Flash axis (maybe place it higher, so the text falls into the more 'reasonable' regions of the workingfield of Flash?)

I've used Bill T's scrollbar code and loaded text from an XML file. When I drag, the text content is not completely shown.
I'm suspecting it has to do with the value "1.3" in this particular line:
Code:
scrollAmount=(this._height-(mask_mc._height)/1.3)/(mask_mc._height-scrollbar_mc.dragger_mc._height);
how I could use this code, to show up complete text content dynamically?
Here's the complete AS:
Code:
//set a variable
targY=0;
//set the drag action of the dragger

I'm working on a project that uses a loader to load up a swf, then display the loader in an area using a mask and a scrollbar to scroll through the content. The content in this project will change regularly, including the dimensions of the swf file (vertical dimension only, I'm not worried about horizontal scrollbars with this question).The problem I'm running into is I can't figure out a proper formula to get the scrollbar to position the content at it's bottom when the scrollbar is at the bottom What I have now is close, but not exact. If you scoll to the bottom, the bottom of the content would scroll up too high, leaving an empty 'blank' space where the content should be. I have an if statement checking for this currently, but this creates a 'dead zone' at the bottom of the scroll bar where the content is already at the bottom, and the scroll bar can continue to scroll down a bit.oes anyone know what I'm doing wrong here in the math to get a good scrolling going, regardless of the size of the content loaded by the loader?Here is what I have so far:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.events.*; import flash.display.Loader; import fl.controls.UIScrollBar; import fl.controls.ScrollBar; import

I'm wanting to make a vertical scrollbox (say, 150 px wide by 500 px high with a scrollbar) and where the content is defined by an XML file. The catch... I'd like each name in the list to become a button (or otherwise clickable) that opens a swf (also specified in the XML file). I have succeeded in making a static list where each "name button" was created manually... but I'm realizing my list is going to be hundreds of names and I'm thinking there must be a way to achieve this with XML. Here is the current version:

I have been reading through the Source/Experiments threads and trying to implement suggestions in the Content Scrollbar (Revised) [URL].. thread. I'm using Flash MX 2004, Actionscript 2.0 and throughout the course of this great thread the suggestions seem to shift and become geared for Flash 8. There are a few hints that MichaelxxOA kindly left for MX 2004 people loading content dynamically but I haven't been able to get to work. It's been a long work in progress but I feel like I am getting closer. At the moment I have been able to get the xml content to load into flash but I had to create a kind of dummy cell in the contentMain that is approximately the length of the combined images in the xml document. Is there a way to change the code so that it can read and load the content of the xml document so that when it varies flash loads into contentMain what ever combined height the xml includes? Here is the zip including .xml, .fla, .swf, .as and image with progress so far.

I am new to xml content in flash. I have been through the kirupa tut for loading xml content and have been successful in implementing it, but I now want to implement it into a scrollbar so I can use css and img tags. I can get it to work using the UI scroll component, but I want to use a custom scroll bar. I get the XML to load fine but I have no clue where to stick in the firstChild.childNodes[0] so I can call to certain attributes within the XML document. Below is the AS for the custom scroll bar.
Code:
stop();
holder_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
var LV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
LV.onData = function(info:String):Void {
holder_mc._txt.text = info;

On my site I want to scroll image boxes vertically. On releasing the scrollbar is there anyway to make the content being scrolled ease into a specified position so that it aligns with other elements on the site instead of stopping at a random coordinate?
