Professional :: Dynamically Loading News Ticker - Vertical Scroll / Loop

Sep 2, 2010

I have been working on a dynamic loading news ticker for a site and have been running into two separate problems:

The first, creating a movie clip, inserting the following code:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;
myTextField_txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
[Code] .....

And having the clip load the text from the text file listed. In this version, everything is working fine except I don't have the ability to change the font, size, and color of the text using only flash and the text document, (to my understanding).

The second, creating two .fla files, one with the embedded font I want to display named font.fla, and the other blank named fontloader.fla. Also create an .as file in the folder with the following code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code] .....

In this second scenario, the problem is that I can't figure out a way to make the dynamic text scroll vertically and loop, (Was trying to figure out a way to save the fontloader.fla as a movie clip, then importing it into a new .fla and just using a motion tween on the clip, but so far I'm confused by it). This second scenario is also not my first choice, because loading the text straight from a text file would make the news section very easy to update for those who don't have any design experience.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Create A Dynamic News Ticker?

Aug 1, 2007

how to create a dynamic news ticker like one of these? Only that it would scroll longer sentences? Of course the first idea is just load single line TextField and tween it across the screen beneath a mask. I don't like this because

a) It's retarded
b) Your swf width is quite long even if you don't see it, it's there.
c) It's retarded

I'm trying to think up a better solution. So far I haven't thought of anything better (does that mean I'm retarded?). Some other brain stormed ideas could be parsing each word in the String into it's own Sprite, as BitmapData, and sort of train tweening those, that was you can dispose each after it's cleared the screen. This seems like too much work, and potentially draining on the system's resources, having to create new instances, and repeteadly add them to the display list, and such.

IDE :: News Ticker In Flash And XML

Nov 20, 2008

I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling News Ticker?

Apr 22, 2010

I am action script handicapped so bare with me. I know very basic action script functions like go to frame stop, play ect So complicated flash code does not really work for me unless it is explain easy and clear step by step. I know the animation portion of flash which helps me get by. I need to know how to pause a scrolling text as simple as possible when I click mouse over it.

I created a button (which is really displayed as text so that I can link to a website url) (SEE IMAGE)

The text is animated from frame 1 off screen to frame 400 top off canvas off screen. I did this the animation way instead of the coding way. So it should scroll from bottom to top (which I animated with frames), link to a new site (which I figured out), and pause on mouse over and play on mouse off.

Good News Ticker Component?

Nov 10, 2009

Anyone know of a good news ticker component? (Or a straightforward way of coding one in AS3?) We need to incorporate a horizontal ticker at the bottom of a site. It doesn't need to feed RSS. It'll just be populated with little factoids the client will provide. I initially purchased and integrated this one[url]...

Worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the developer who is building out the site just informed us that we need one that works in a .net environment and this component parses the XML through PHP. I'm a noob at all this so I don't even know exactly what I'm talking about!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling News Ticker - XML Nodes Not Loading

Mar 10, 2008

I am trying to make a AS3 version of a scrolling news ticker although Iseem to be having trouble. The code below doesn't seem to be working although its not throwing any errors. I think its not loading my xml nodes or something. All I am trying to do is it to eventually load an rss feed and scroll a selected set of nodes. For now I just tried to get it to display an xml formated file since rss is xml formated. Ultimately for this example I just want it to display the title attribute of every item.

Code:
news_txt.x = 1024.0;
var count:int;
var textnode:String;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX04] XML News Ticker With 2 Different Text Fields?

Nov 15, 2006

I'd like to add a second news ticker text field right beneath the first one that loads its headlines from a different XML file. So my question is this -- (not very XML savy mind you...) How would I need to adjust the AS code to be able to have both text fields going at the same time? What parts of the AS code can be omitted? (to not have redundant functions) Is there anything I should be aware of that might be cancelling out the second text field from running? At this point, I can get only one of the tickers working at a time -- the other just sits empty.

ActionScript 3.0 :: When Making A Scrolling News Ticker Do Load All The Data At Once

Sep 6, 2010

looking to build a horizontal news ticker like you would see at the bottom of the screen on CNN etc except it will only display one item at a time. Just thinking and planning before I start.... If the news ticker is only going to be wide enough to display one news item at a time, will my flash load all of the xml news data as soon as it launches and hide all the content that is outside of the ticker width or would/should it only load/display each news item individually when it is that items turn to display in the ticker?

So that all I would have to do is place some sort of "highlighter" tag in a post, then the xml file would be updated, thus a new link appear in the news ticker? I guess if I some how had rss for a tag, that then the xml was read into the flash file.

ActionScript 2.0 :: .swf News Ticker Works On Local Machine But Not On Server?

Dec 2, 2007

I have a news ticker that I modelled after the kirupa tutorial that was given:
[URL]

When I run it on my local machine it works just fine the way I expect it to. However when I put it on my website, it does not work at all. I have another flash file (.swf) on my webpage which is just a simple countdown timer and that works just fine so I don't think this problem has anything to do with MIME types.

Here is the code I used to embed the .swf file onto my website:

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("http://428the.calvin.hostingrails.com/XMLParser/sports_ticker1.swf", "headerAnimation", "390", "180", "0", "#FFFFFF");

[Code].....

Neither of these worked. I just have no idea what I am doing wrong. I don't know if there is something I should be coding differently in my actionscript. I am very new to AS programming. how to get the .swf file to appear on my website would be great.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 News Ticker XML To Load Four Time - Copy Text - An Image - Date And A URL

Mar 2, 2010

I'm making a very simple news ticker that uses XML to load four items: copy text, an image, date and a URL. The script was pieced together from tutorials and a bit of self-teaching, so I know it's probably not great. The AS is pasted below. Everything loads just fine, but the button script returns an "undefined" error. I assume this is because the item is no longer found in the array, but I'm not entirely sure. I also think it may be that the loadMovie method isn't working well with a specific item in the array. Also the link does not work. *Note* I know there are probably more advanced ways to tackle this but I'd like to keep this at my learning level so I can grow with it. :-)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed A Handful Of European Language Characters Into A Little Flash News Ticker

I'm trying to embed a handful of European language characters into a little flash news ticker (Swedish, Norwegian and some others). I'm embedding my swf file in the html and passing a FlashVars variable This is the text that the ticker displays. For some reason the swf doesn't render the character when I put a foreign character such as in the HTML. I have embedded all these fonts in the dynamic text box in my .fla

Attached is the .fla and .html file where you can input the text for the swf to display. Please have a look for me! (attached zip at bottom of post)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Vertical News Scroller - Fade Out When Text Reaches At End

Jul 13, 2009

I'm creating a vertical news scroller, that will eventually load in from an external text file and then just scroll the text in a movie clip vertically. I have this working but I have a couple of questions.

1. As the text reaches the end of the scroll I want it to start to fade out, I've added a IF statement to do this but it doesn't seem to fire. Why is this?
2. Even though I don't have any easing the scroll seems to slow down as its nearing the end of the animation, do you know why this is happening?

Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(0,1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollNow);
myTimer.start();
