ActionScript 3.0 :: Smooth Scrolling Dynamic Text Box?
Aug 24, 2010
I am trying to adjust the speed of the scroll box. It is a little too quick. I am not sure where to start.....I tried adjusting the button (_root.TextBox.scroll -= 1;) but it won't accept any smaller numbers. Can someone point me in the right direction?
below is a link to a super simple movie that I have of text scrolling/moving horizontally across the screen.The only issue I have is at the quality of the scroll/movement. it is inconsistently jerky, sometimes when it first starts getting on the screen and leaving the screen sometime all the time and sometimes when it leaves the screen.I have had this issue with other movies and scrolling things across the screen horizontally I had to increase the frame rate to 30 fps and extend the time line but it never really got to be a smooth scroll.
I started known about FLASG a few day ago. I am very, very interesting about its. My boss want i make a text display in bottom screen and scrolling from right to left (same as display on TV). But, i used to keyframe to solved this solution but they are slowly and not smooth. Now i want text display running smoother. I not good at Flash .I am programmer , C# is my programming language.
I'm just fine tuning my flash site and am trying to get my custom scroller to scroll my text smoothly.
Basically I am using scrollertext.scrollV [URL] to scroll my text inside a function but scrollV is an int and flash performs vertical scrolling per lines. My text is quite large in some areas and the scroller is very 'non smooth'. How else can I achieve a smooth scrolling effect (would be nice to scroll in pixel values not line values) ?
I have a textbox that dynamically loads from a txt file. I'm trying to have the text scroll on its own... kindof like movie credits. The problem that I'm running into is that it appears choppy when it scrolls line by line. How would I make it smooth scroll without any user interaction?
I have dynamic text that needs to animate slowly across the screen but right now it jerks in 1 pixel increments as compared to the vector graphics accompanying it.
I've increased the frame rate, converted it to a bitmap, applied GridFitType, etc., none of which (or my implementation) seemed to work.
Is there a way to achieve smooth animation with dynamic text at slow animation speeds?
I have made a map which I have made scrollable across the stage using the keyboard arrow keys.
e.g:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (Key.isDown(39)) { _x=_x-4;
[Code]....
These on screen buttons allow the user to move the map every time they click however it would be more user friendly if these buttons continued to move the map on a hold down state until released or via rolling on/off.
Envrironment: Flash CS3, AS3 I have a horizontal image scrolling project that I am working on, and it works but is not super smooth, I would like it to be smoother when it scrolls, and realize that this is a function of pixels scrolled over time and the FPS of the document.
Right now I am moving the items 1 pixel at a time on a timer with delay of 8 to get it to scroll at the speed I want. I am moving it at 1 pixel in order to catch exactly when an object should wraparound to the beginning of the scroller to show up again. So I don't know that I can really change the number of pixels moved to more than 1 and still have the images spaced perfectly, which makes me think I need to increase or decrease the FPS and or the timer delay to make it scroll smoother. Right now it is at 30FPS and as mentioned the timer delay is 8. Small changes to the delay is not a problem.
This is one aspect of flash i don't fully understand. I would really like to know how to figure this out so I can apply it to future projects as well without doing trial and error to make it smooth. Can it be function, like a way to figure out I need to move a 120pixel picture 60 pixels in 2 seconds, what should my FPS be and the picture size and movement size and number of seconds can be variables?
I'm creating a website and I need to have a slideshow of scrolling pictures (not interactive to user) and I know how to do it with the old motion tweening but when I play the movie the scrolling pic is not smooth but choppy. I already played around with frames and frame rates; the image scrolls faster or slower but the choppines remains. Here is an example of what im looking to do: **Notice how the picture of the bed scrolls smoothly when the site loads. [URL]
I know that for this site they probably used the "ease" effect and that works when the image is gonna stay still at the end but for my movie the images are gonna be scrolling up,down,left,right in a loop. Can you guys tell me how can I do this without the movie being choppy? perhaps there's a way to do it with code.
I'm making a side scrolling platformer and I wonder why image movement is so choppy, especially if velocities arent whole numbers? Images I'm using are: one 320*350, one 500*500 and few of 50*50 all in PNG format with alpha support and cached as bitmap. Framerate is 30FPS.
I'm trying to create a simple scrolling text box for a web site and am following this web tutorialI'm using flash cs4 ad this relates to cs3. I seem unable to locate the instance name box anywhere.
Is there any way that i can smooth out images that zoom in/out with normal classic tween. they are so jittery it looks terrible. I even have a little bit of easing and frames per second set to 30.
Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?
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.
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]..............
I have succesfully created a scrolling text field that is marked as dynamic. My problem is loading the XML text into it once I place it within a movie clip. So I have a dynamic text filed in movie clip A which is masked by movie clip B and then has a custom scroll bar attached to scroll the content. When I try to import text to place in the dynamic text field ( rather than typing the text within flash ) it doesnt show up.
I have some code which moves back and forth through my menu so that it scrolls in relation to where the mouse is on teh screen. The problem is that I cant get it to scroll smoothly and is a little jerky... I want to ass maybe some smoothness or maybe a little lag to it so it just seems more smooth. I have pasted the main code I have so far below.. I am using AS3 at the moment.
I've made the kirupa simple scrollbar [URL] to scroll horizontal. This works just perfect but it is not smooth. My question to you is - how to make it smooth? I've got 4 MC's with the instance names content, mask, scroll_area and scroller.
My AS looks like this: onClipEvent (load) { _root.content_width = content._width; _root.scroller_area_width = scroll_area._width; scroller._width = _root.scroller_area_width/(content._width/scroll_area._width); _root.scroller_width = scroller._width; [Code] .....
Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me).I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me.iam.theData.textBodybuttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.
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 Code: // Scroll My Content function - AS3 function scrollMyContent()[code]..........
I followed the tutorial for creating a dynamic text box with a scroll bar. I am getting this error when I test the movie and when I open the swf file I can see the box but the text isn't loading.[code]...
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 have a dynamic text field and have two buttons. All I want the buttons to do is to scroll up or down a couple lines everytime its clicked. AS2 had something like this: body_txt.scroll += 1;
