ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling Dynamic Text With Custom Scrollbar

Aug 13, 2008

I have created a custom scrollbar for some dynamic text ("services_txt") under a movieclip ("servicestext_mc" with the instance name services_mc). The name for the scroller is scroller_mc.

The scrollbar works fine, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the text box. I keep getting error message 1120: Access of undefined property services_txt.

I've tried scrolling my text several ways and seem to keep getting this error - I have a feeling it's because I've inputted the text manually and forgot to do something, instead of using an external text loader. Here is the code I've inputted:

var scrollPercent:Number = 0;
var minScroll:Number;
var maxScroll:Number;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrollbar W/Dynamic Text, Not Scrolling Up?

Jul 2, 2011

I have made a custom scroll bar, using tlf text converted to a movie clip that measures 903px tall. I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up. The button will go back to its place at the top of the scroll bar, but the movie clip only scrolls back up about two thirds of the way.I don't get any errors when I test the file, and I've permitted debugging in the hopes it would find an obvious mistake to no avail.Here's the code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text With Custom Scrollbar

Dec 18, 2008

I am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes. In fla file there are movieclip scrollbox, inside of which are dynamic text field (txtField) and custom scrollbar ( consisting of two clips: thumb and track). If I copy some text into text field, everything works. If load external text into text field, text is loaded but it doesn't scroll. Below are codes from all classes:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrollbar Component - Scrolling Text With Easing

Mar 1, 2004

Look at e.g. [URL]. When the site loads, the section in the middle contains a scrollbar that scrolls the text with easing. However, the scrollbar itself appears to be the scrollbar component from Flash itself. Is this something that is maybe readily available in MX 2004? Or should this be scripted manually?

Dynamic Text Box Scrollbar Disappears?

Jan 9, 2010

I'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.

I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Scrollbar Won't Refresh

Dec 1, 2005

I'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.

how to make the scrollbar refresh each time a new text file is loaded? I've attached my FLA in a zip file. Here is the scrollbar I used from Kirupa: [URL] Also, here is a test version of the site: http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose2/index2.html And here is the actionscript used for the scrollbars:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Loading But Without Scrollbar Activated?

Jan 30, 2009

I have what should be a very simple dynamic text box (multiline and html) embedded within a MC loading an external text file with html tags (properly formatted for flash).I have a scrollbar component attached to the text box. Everything works if I test the movie and if I just play the swf file . But when the swf file is embedded in an html file the scrollbar does not activate and only the text within the window is seen.Here is the script:

var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);[code].........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrollbar For Dynamic Text Box Calling HTML Txt File?

Sep 21, 2009

I have a flash movie within it quite a few scenes. When I go to a certain scene it has a movie clip on it (UGFT_MC). Within this I have a dynamic text box (UGFTtxt). I have the render text as HTML selected and the variable called "data". On my main timeline at the start of this scene I have the actionscript: loadVariables("UGFT.txt","_root.UGFT_MC");

Within my text file I have the following:

data=<B>All the code I want in my text box</B>
<p><img src="test.jpg"</p> etc.

This part all works, except I have lots of text and images in the text file and need a scroll bar on my dynamic text box. I have tried the UIScrollBar and it only works some of the time, and there is no pattern as to whether the scroll bar will appear. Quite often it is just a grey area. Though the top of the text called from the file is visible.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Scrollbar Not Measuring Height Of Dynamic Text Field Properly

Feb 15, 2009

I am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.

Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...

Scrolling Images With Dynamic Text Box?

Mar 17, 2009

My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......

I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.

on (rollOver) {
rOver.text ="caption";
}[code]..............
