ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrollbar Not Working When Loaded Into External Swf?
Apr 13, 2010
I recently purchased a scrollbar from the exchange marketplace and it works beautifully within it's own swf but as soon as I load it into a second swf (the main "start movie") it doesn't work. When I click on it to scroll, the tracker sticks to my pointer (like a mouse follower) and won't release until I click on a button leading me into another movie. The scrollbar component came with an external caurina file which is where I think the issue is coming from. I think it's having trouble finding the associated code when inside the second movie. I've tried all sorts of parent vs root scripts to try and get it to jump a level to recognize the source of the original code.

i have one simple question. I did simple scrollbar for text which is loaded from external file. But, if the text in textfield is too short ( few words ) I dont want scrollbar to roll.
I would be grateful for any useful advice.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("abcd.txt"));loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void{

I'm currently working on a flash site, which consists of a "Main" SWF file that has buttons to load external SWF files. I figured out how to make the external SWF files show on its own layer below other layers on the main time line of the Main SWF. I created a blank movie clip file on it's own layer of the main time line and used this to call out to it:This worked perfectly. The website so far works perfectly with each page of the website being an externally loaded SWF. The problem I came across today though, is that buttons and text fields within the external SWF files don't work when they are loaded onto the "Main" SWF. They only work when I open the external SWF files individually. I really need to figure out how to make buttons and the text fields within the external SWF files when loaded onto the "MAIN" SWF.
I first came across this problem when I tried adding a form that I created to one of the external SWF files called guestlist_page_swf.swf. The form works on its own when I open that SWF individually, but when I try to load that SWF file with the form as a page on my "Main" SWF, the mouse doesn't even recognize that the submit button is a button, and it doesn't allow me to click on the text fields. Here is the link to the site I am having the problem with:
processing_mc.visible = false;
// Clear the form fields
first_name_txt.text = "";

the swf that I am loading has a button in it that when I click on it, it will print the screen and it will email it to an email address.Everything works perfectly fine if I use the application(swf) on its own.however, I created a swf file that will load the above swf file in it when a button is clicked. the loading part is fine and it works as it should be. but the button for printing the screen stops working once the swf has been loaded!

all of the other buttons on an external movie are workign but the volume slider is not...
when i load the external file (the mp3 player) it works fine.
Code:
/* volumeStartDragging(event:MouseEvent):void
* Returns a mathematical value that we can use to adjust the volume
* the value is the relation of the volume ball to the line

I've got a List component set up but some of the text exceeds the space available and so I'm trying to add a horizontal scrollbar as well as the vertical one.In the component inspector I've set the horizontal to "on" and given it a width of 200 (my component has a width of 150).However, it cannot be scrolled and I get this error message: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at AWorkingFile1_fla:: Main Timeline/baseData()Is it actually possible to get the scroll bar to work?

I'm coding a horizontal scrollbar that will contain several movieclips. The scrollbar has a few ways to scroll through it, a traditional scrollbar (scrubber & track), a next and a previous button that will scroll from clip to clip, and finally clicking on the scrollbar track to go to that point. However the bar doesn't full scroll back to it's original start point and at the opposite end it scrolls a little too much past the end of the clip. The same with the next and previous buttons you click the previous button it comes up just short of the original start point and the next button goes just a little further then it should. I cant seem to figure out whats wrong with it. I realized this is kind of a hard problem to explain so I attached an fla file (CS3 & CS4).
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";

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 having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

To just add the articles will only make the page load slower so I used a scrollbar with a textfield and added text and pics to the article to scroll it. This works fine but I need a way where the scroll can call different textfields or movieclips. For instance, the main scroll opens with a textfield that scrolls articles 15 thru 10. I need on the bottom of the page buttons that link articles 9 thru 5 and so on. So when you click a button the textfield or movieclip changes and displays what is in that textfield or mc. I have looked for a tutorial, a video or anything on this and besides coming up with Flash 5 similar mentions but nothing to this point

how to display text from external text files but the problem that they all use the regular component scrollbar inside flash, and how to make custom scrollbar for dynamic text but still not for external text. But as the title says, how to make a custom scrollbar (with/without easing but hopefully with it) to display text (or html) from an external text file?

I have a "photo" gallery that loads numerous SWFs through xml, one by one on click. All works fine. All my SWF work fine stand alone. But when I load them into the player, many swf dont work properly.in example, I have textinput textfields in many of the swfs, which work fine on their own but not when loaded into the player. Then I have a word search game that works fine when alone, not when in player. I can see there is something as my mouse cursor changes into the "button finger", but nothing visual.
All drag and drop assigments work fine etc. I have no idea whats up. I have receantly switched to as3 and in as2 there was _lockroot declaration that solved similar problems, but now in as3 (where it supposedly should be automatic) it doesnt work. As it seems that it cannot recognise it own stage value, or selection_focus when loadedinside another swf through xml.Using cs4, as3.

Simply put, what I'm trying to do is create a Dynamic Textfield with custom scroll bars via this tutorial [URL], that renders an external HTML file with CSS attached as its content instead of images like in the tutorial. I've tried a mix and match combination, ultimately, when I test the movie, the scroll bar works, but I see no content to scroll through. I have attached my project file.

I have a main movie that contains a series of buttons that load different swf files into a loader component.
Each of the secondary movies contains a series of buttons that when clicked load a movie clip with information specific to that button.
Nothing earth shattering, right...
When I preview the secondary movie it runs as I would expect.
When I bring it into the main movie via the loader component and click any of the buttons to load the secondary movie's movie clip I receive the following errors[code]...
