I tried to do text scrolling in AS3. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do the slider part.below is the actionscript and attached is the FLA and SWF files.
var rect:Shape = new Shape();
rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xffff0000);
rect.graphics.beginFill(0xff00ff00);

What I have is a map that you can click on points and it will zoom in, you can also click on a "plus/minus" buttons to zoom in and out (I even have the mouse wheel zooming in and out). The client wanted me to add a "zoom slider bar" to it so you know you could move it up and down to scale it. Everything is working except the slider, I can't seem to get it to work with the position of the slider. All of the zoom functionality is there but the slider is killing me.
I am putting up the fla file since there is a lot of code in there and I didn't want to put it all in the forum. if you look in the fla in frame ten on line 726 you can find the function that is supposed to handle the zooming when you move the slider. Up on line 74 you can find the slider onPress and onRelease functions, but those I believe should be fine.
the proper code that I should use to scroll images like a slideshow but i want it to keep going like on this site [URL] I figure the script below but it makes it keep going on.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}
I have been trying to find a way to make my flash slider bar work with the mouse wheel, but can't find how to integrate with the code I already have.
ActionScript Code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

Everything works fine except when my mouse pointer is over flash area or i click on some button iniside flash it wont scroll up or down, and when i am outside flash area it scrolls normal. In FF works great but in in IE does not work. This is very annoying beacose you have yo click outside flash everytime if you want to scroll. I am working with cs4 AS 2.0 and i try to export movies into flash 9 and flash 10 but it is the same problem.

View 0 RepliesI'm working on an AIR for iOS iPad scrolling menu with "kinetic" interaction. I'm trying to emulate as closely as I can the behavior of native components. To that end, I've had to forgo the traditional startDrag() method because of the peculiarities of the native UIScrollView. The reason startDrag() won't work for me is that when you drag the menu past its upper or lower scrolling threshold you encounter resistance, that is, the effect of your mouse/finger on the scroll/dragging of the menu is cut in half. Inside either threshold, if you move your finger a pixel the menu moves a pixel. Beyond either threshold, when you move your finger two pixels the menu only moves one because of the a .5 resistance multiplier. As far as I know, startDrag() doesn't account for any of that.

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

The text box properties are set to "input text, multi line.

I am trying to create a basic timeline, similar to the timeline we all use in flash (see attached).
I have a playhead slider, which when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I also have horizontal window scroller which also when dragged, just drags within its startDrag() limits.
I am trying to work out how to get the horizontal window scroller to scroll when the playhead slider hits the left or right edge. I am using hittest for this collision.
I have the playHeadSlider scrolling along the top. When playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing I want mcContents to then move.
It kind of works.. mcContents moves when the playHeadSlider is in collision with the hittestThing.. but it just moves rather than 'drags' across. I have it set up so that mcContents is twice the width (approx) of mcScrollWindow.
I need to somehow update what I have so that if the playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing on the right, mcContents only moves to the right and if playHeadSlider collides with hittestThing2 on the left, mcContents only moves to the left.

Need to be able to modify the text in the dynamic box, which also manipulates the slider. For instance, I'd like to be able to drag the slider to, say, 12 and then type in 25 on the box and the slider moves to 25. Control Flash slider bar with input text and vice versa in it?
I'm trying to get a slider to display a number in a Dynamic text field as it is dragged. I think this is the only time I can say it would be easier in AS3!
Sooo, I made the slider and the code to move it, but I cant get the number to pass into it. My trace command fires but I get some static numbers in the text box. I'm just so confused, is it my var, or the math operator, or just syntax?
code as I screwed it up ....
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 0, 0, 200, 0);
var xmin : Number = min(0);

Is there a ready Component on the web.
I have a simple text field that is read only and it's very long, so I just want to use a scrollbar on the right-hand side. I dragged a UIScrollbar component to this text area, I lined it up, same height, and even named the text area as the scrollbar's target, but when I compile the swf, I get a blank scrollbar next to the text and 2 other scrollbars off the the right of the text!!! I also tried adding the scrollbar via code with the same results.
