ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling Only Flash Scroll Bar Not A Browser
Nov 17, 2009
When i scroll the scrollBar in Flash the browser is scrolling too. What i need is to stop scrolling the browser and scroll only the flash box. And the Browser have to scroll only then when the flash scrollbar is in end.
Here's the scenario... I have an .swf that is 1050px in height. On most browser's that is too tall. What I'd like to do, is use the browser's scroll bars to auto scroll to the bottom of the page during the loading sequence, and then scroll back up to the top. To do this, I'll need to make a javascript function call using ExternalInterface.call();
I found a suitable smooth scrolling javascript example on the internet. [URL] By clicking <a href> links, it scrolls to HTML anchors on the page. I figured that instead of clicking on the textual links like in that example, I could simulate the event by calling the event from flash. I'm just not sure how to do it exactly.
I have a flash element on my page that you interact with by using the middle mouse scroll wheel. The page is long. So when scrolling with the mouse wheel it interacts with the Flash element AND scrolls the browser window.
Is there a way to disable browser scrolling while the Flash element is active?
I just made a scroll area with buttons and draggable items. All the code is written for vertical scrolling, the content I need to be scrolled is going to be horizontal. how can I rewrite this code to be horizontal scrolling? it seems like the scroll button (the one you drag along) doesn't stay confined to its scroll line either.
I would like to simply scroll through a flash movieclip using my mouse wheel. Here is the work i've done thus far (http:url].....).Each image is a separate frame in a movie clip.I had this working in Flash AS2 but then all of a sudden the web-page started scrolling around as well when scrolling with the mouse wheel.I see there is a solution here: http:[url].....
I know ZERO about flash/actionscript and have been tasked with creating a vertical text/html scroller. This would act like a news ticker but would scroll several paragraphs of text with images vertically continuously.
Here is a sample of the data that i would like to scroll vertically:
<image> some text here some more text <image> more text more text
This pattern would repeat and the script would continuously scroll the information. I will be pulling that data from XML as HTML but i think i have that part under control. Just cant seem to get a sample of scrolling html/text.
I would like to scroll content in a Movie Clip (size: 10000 x 8000 px) with Flash Scrollpane component (AS3). However, I want to make the content scroll in both X & Y axis instead of along of the scrollbar axis. How can I achieve this?
if you go to [url]....you will notice that you can not scroll the browser window with your mouse wheel if the cursor is over the flash object (entire website is one object). I need to make it so scrolling always affects the browser no matter the state of the cursor.
I made a website in Flash CS3. I published the file into html format. Now when I open the html file in a web browser I cannot use my mouse wheel to scroll the page up nor down. However the browser's scroll bar allows me to scroll up and down and i can scroll the page up and down if I place my mouse to the left side of the page where the page shows the background color of my flash document's stage. I want to be able to scroll using my mouse wherever the mouse is located on the website. Details about my flash file are as follows:
- It contains only Action script 2.0 coding. - the layout is made out of movie clip and button symbols. - i used a scrollPane component for one of my text and image contents. - I used a UIscrollbar component for all the text inside my image gallery (which is a movie clip containing the scrollable text areas) I am including below the coding formats used for buttons in my file in hopes that it provides clues to the scrolling error :
Essentially, I have flash content that scrolls on mouse wheel. It works fine, unless there is other content in the browser such that the browser's scrollbar is enabled - when that is the case, both the browser window AND my SWF scroll on mouse wheel. Is there any way to correct this behavior?
Similar question asked here:
disable mouse wheel scrolling while cursor over flex app?
which references the solution blogged about here:
[URL]
But the solution does not work on all browsers! While it works on some Windows browsers, it doesn't work at all on Mac OS X - it registers mouse wheel events in Firefox, but they are not getting fired at all in Chrome and Safari.
Now I know that (per the official Adobe InteractiveObject docs) mouse wheel is supposedly only supported on Windows systems, but the event is still fired by default on Mac OS X. Is this simultaneous scroll bug the reason it is not supported?
Edit: adding more info on above solution...
Note that the above solution basically uses ExternalInterface to send the following JavaScript to the "eval" function:
var browserScrolling; function allowBrowserScroll(value) { browserScrolling = value;
After adding a mouseListener via Mouse.addListener to my flash movie the mouse wheel event is not bubbling to the browser when the mouse cursor is placed over the flash moviePeople all over google are complaining that in AS3 the event is bubbling and it is hard to stop it but in AS2 I wasn't able to find a solution to get the behaviour just as it is in AS3.Some code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object(); mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() { trace("mouseMove");
I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
I tried to input a text from a css, which its height is greater than the target text field, so a scroll bar was placed. but I was wonder that why the scroll bar doesnt enable scrolling after loading the text.
import fl.text.TLFTextField; import fl.controls.UIScrollBar; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
When I was starting to drag any element, mouse wheel scrolling is turned off, how to scroll while dragging?I'm newbie here, so I can't insert a picture, here's a link
how I would add scroll wheel capability to the scrolling? I've tried a few methods, but I'm not very good at class based coding, and from I've read, it's necessary to perform that function.
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 want to make a continuous scrolling image like the one I found here [url]....only thing is i want it to scroll right to left I tryed to change the code
Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel ([URL]) It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what change the scrolling. At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
I'm using a list element with variableRowHeight and word-wrap set to true like in the example below: [URL]. When I scroll through the list with a mouse scrollwheel the text in the listItems also scroll. I know that this is to do with the height of the textField...
I'm trying to do something that makes sense in my head, but can only translate to code with mixed success.On the screen is 6x4 grid of boxes, 24 in total. These boxes represent a number of entries in a big visual timeline, the total of which can be anywhere from 1 to many thousand. Of course, only a fixed number of 24 can be seen at any one time.The grid scrolls left/right to show previous/future timeline entries in their box form.
The grid normally starts at the very first entry, but there is an offset built-in to it so that you can, for instance, start the display of these entries at a certain point. For instance, if you have 26 entries with an offset of 1, that means there will be 1 entry not seen to the left (before), 24 on the screen seen, and 1 entry not seen to the right (future). Or if you have an offset of 10, there would be 10 to the left (not seen) and 16 filling the space on screen, etc.The scrolling basically slides the entries left or right by a factor of 4 (since the columns consist of 4 boxes), but must be clamped to not scroll beyond the total number.
Is there some simple math anyone can think of to track the state of these boxes? I ask because I will have Flash create *only* the 24 max that can be seen at any one time. Any time you scroll to the right or left, Flash will create up to 4 new boxes to fit that next column, and then animated all 28 boxes (24 existing + 4 new) to move the new ones on (and the old ones off), and then delete the old ones. This is to keep things optimized since creating many thousands of boxes that each load external content is not very feasible.
Hope this makes sense to someone. It would be similar to what you see here, but with scrolling (and more importantly, something to keep track of it all): [Url]
I have created two scroll buttons for my dynamic text field, following this guideMy problem is, that you have to click the buttons many times to scroll down to the end.How do you make it possible to "Press and hold" the mousebutton instead?My code is as follows:TextField name: scrollableTextButton Up Code:
Code: on (press, release, keyPress "<Up>") { currentScroll = scrollableText.scroll;
coding some automatic scrolling text? i've had a look around the internet, but all i can find is text that is scrolled using buttons. what i'm after is a way of coding text so it loads up into a text box (which i will call tf) (to start off with i don't mind putting it into the code as static text), scrolls on its own, and when it get to the end, it repeats the scroll, and is neverending. i would like it to go vertical (that ups the page in case i've picked the wrong one!), and be able to pick the scroll speed so i can slow it down or make it go faster. if someone can give me some sample code to get me going that would be great, and i'll try to sort out the rest myself.
I am making a webTV player, and I have a combobox displaying the entries. When scrolling the combobox, the scrolling jumps between the entries. I would like to have it scroll though the entries smoothly and not jump.

I just updated from CS4 to CS5 and when I export my former CS4 projects through CS5 and browse them the internet browser don't have any scroll so I'm not able to see the whole site.
