I have (yet another...) TextField issue. I have an input textfield that is used both for capturing user input and displaying messages. It's around ten characters wide, single line and not resizable. I have a method that allows you to flash a brief message into the textfield for a couple of seconds before returning it to the state it was in:
ActionScript Code:
public function flashDisplay(alert:String):void
{
tempText = textField.text;
[Code]....
Usually this works fine, but when the user types a long word into the textfield, the text scrolls left and the first letters of the word scroll out of view. This isn't a problem until you try to show an alert and the alert is also scrolled out of view at the beginning - even if it's a short word.
How can I reset the horizontal scroll that the user has created when updating textField.text?
I am trying to make a horizontal scroll work. There is no scroll bar. I am having a long movie clip with a mask on top of that. I have two buttons on left and right ends of the mask. When I click on a button, i want the movie clip to move right or left accordingly. I want the movie clip to keep moving when the button is in 'press and hold' state. So when the button is released, the movie clip should stop moving. It keeps moving until the very end of the movie clip.The name of the movie clip is "menuMC".
I know this is a dumb question, but it would've taken me forever to search through all the rest of the posts regarding Scrolling Text boxes. So I have text scrolling in a dynamic text box. Buttons control it's movement, up and down with (scroll --) and (scroll ++). Let's say I read to the bottom of this text, and then load a new file into this same box. When I do this, the new text is scrolled to the bottom. My Question: How do I reset the scrolled position back to the top for each new file that I load??
I currently have a document set up with a large movie clip (about 2000px wide) and have created 2 buttons - left and right. I would like for when you mouse over the left or right button, the movieclip would slide across the screen horizontally.
I am using the FlexEvent.IDLE event to track if the user is idle for more than 5 min. If so, the user will be loggeg out. I am also calling a popup in my application which has a scrollable data grid. When I scroll my data grid for more than 5 min , the IDLE event is triggered, which means if I am not moving my mouse and simply using the scroll, the idleCounter goes on increasing. How to reset the idleCounter on mouse scroll?
I'm using the dynamic scroller found on the kiropa site found here [URL]..In the action script on the ScrollBar, I can't find what variable to change to reset the position of the bar to the top of the scroller when I use the same dynamic text area for other content. It loads just fine, but if the scroller was left at the bottom, it stays there on the new text until you move it a bit, then the text catches up.
I'm hoping to find the variable and reset it when the new text loads.
I'm putting together an image library on a horizontal scroll. Each of the images is a movie clip and there is an expansion button to see the full images that are contained. How to make it so the scroll contents expands and contracts as the movie clips expand and contract.
I want to take a "film strip" movie clip and scroll it to the left or right on mouse over.Mouse over left, it scrolls to the start of the movie clip...mouse over right, it scrolls towards the end, stopping at the end.Simple enough right? I can't find a single source. I found this script on but it gives me an error. That and I don't think it stops at the end. I think it loops.
[URL] on this page, on clicking the porfolio button the page berings up a page wich has a horizontal dragable scroll bar, any have seen or have similar script
I need a script that will let a user scroll a movieclip Horizontally AND Vertically. Just like a regular vertical scrollbar which u always see, it has an up arrow and down arrow. i need that, as well as a right and left arrow.i have a big image file, and i want to mask it, and let users scroll thru it up down right and left.
I am creating a horizontal scrollbar for my website. The bar is to scroll through a selection of images. I initially created the vertical bar through Kirupas tutorial which was great but I want to create a horizontal one.
Here is the code: scrolling = function () { var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._width; var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._width; var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width; var maskWidth:Number = maskedView._width; [Code] .....
I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata> <Line>this is line 1</Line> <Line>this is line 2</Line> <Line>this is line 3</Line> </XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
I have a bunch of thumbnails that i have a left and right scroll button for. It works great but when you get to the last image i want it to loop to the first one not just stop at the end.Here's some of my code let me know if you need more.Quote:
function addScrollListeners():void { right.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,start Scroll); right.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopScroll);
I was hoping to use the model script and make simple adjustments of file names and loading specs but it has gone beyond my simple understanding.
I have 64 images which need to load 50 pixels apart starting with a 50 pixels pace. The image sequence will loop. Each image is of constant 385 pixels deep but widths vary and I hoped AS could load them in sequence at 100% instead of using a finite number for the width. The attached file shows the gallery images at bottom right, loaded but all stacked upon each other with the last image uppermost.
Code so far: this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1); var imagesNumber:Number = 64; var baseX:Number = 0;
Is there an option to turn on the horizontal scroll for the list component? I have some list entries that are longer than the list is wide, so they get cut off at the end...can this be done?
I Have a menu with 4 buttons and only three buttons are shown the fourth button is behind a colored square. Each button has it's own color. When i push a button a square on the left will drop down with the same color as the button. And when you push another button the square goes up and will be replaced by another square with the same color as the last button you have pushed. But now for the most difficult part. When you push a button all the four buttons will tween to the left untill the activated button is behind the square. All the other buttons will return from the right.
I am trying to enable a horizontal scroll bar using hScrollPolicy on my tree component...I have treeInstance.hScrollPolicy = "on"; and the maxHPosition is set wider than the tree component...and I had this working before...I must have done something that disables the horizontal scroll...has anyone ever run into a situation that something they did turned off their horizontal scroll on lists or trees without actually messing with the tree/list code itself?
I have created a simple datagrid and added columns and rows. The vertical scroll is working fine but when I scroll the horizontal scroll the content does not scroll.
I'm looking to create a horizontal version of the scroll bar shown here: [URL]The actionscript given on page 3 (click) of the tutorial is for vertical scrolling only. Could someone please post a horizontal version or explain how to adjust the code for horizontal scrolling?
I have been trying to read earlier threads, tried out every possible thing but I cannot get the text to ease. I have a custom scroll done from the tutorial but mine is horizontal as it was needed this way. I only need to get the text ease a bit when the dragger is dragged

I have been trying to create a animation with horizontal scroll to begin on mouseOver. There are a set of 8-10 swfs movie, which I am calling though a xml file into the main scroll movie clip. I would like to animate and call the swfs in such a way that they drop into the screen and stay on a 800px width movie screen, on mouseOver the horizontal scroll should begin.I have seen a lot of threads for the sroll, in all the threads the movie is scrolling and on MouseOver it stops.
I would like to scroll the amcharts flex stock chart programmatically on it's horizontal axis, in other words along the time axis. I need to do this, because I need to scroll one period at a time and would like to hook this up to keyboard events. I couldn't find anything in the documentation here: [URL]. I've also tried mucking around with the period selector to see whether I can change the values on it, but no luck there.
