View 1 RepliesI have a scrollbar that I grabbed off a resources site. (code below)I want it so that whenever I put the cursor on the scollbar to move it that the graphical information under the scrollbar comes on (either reveal or opacity to 100%). At the moment the little thumbnails under the scrollbar are on all the time and area bit of a distraction (they are meant to assist in the use of the scrollbar by minimising searching behaviour).[code]

Is there any simple way to scroll a dynamic textbox with easing, without having i scrollbar visible? perhaps something that scrolls when mouseover? Every tutorial i found is with a scrollbar, and still i come across the kind of scroll that doesn't have a scrollbar!
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip button with a text box within it. The text box also has a scrollbar component attached. Since the movie clip button has roll-over functionality [ btn.onRollover = function() ], I believe that's taking precedence over the inner scrollbar. I guess this goes back to the common problem of a button inside of a button.
View 8 RepliesIs it possible to create a textbox with a scrollbar that can contain both text and images? Maybe some sort of ActionScript that has to do with loading external files that contains both text and images? But I presume that if it's going into a textbox, it'd have to be text.. I'd like my content in a textbox though (rather than in a movieclip) so it could be scrollable.
what I'd do is create my page in Fireworks with the text and images. So that way I can assign hyperlinks on keywords. Then the file would be saved as either PNG or HTML. Either way, could Flash import such files into a textbox and still preserve the hyperlinks?
I'm creating a custom scroll bar in flash, I'm following a tutorial for how to code it in I believe AS2. However there are some differences between the outcome I want and the tutorial I'm viewing. What I wished to create was a dynamic text field which relates to a text file outside of flash. The problem I'm having is that in order for my scroll bar to work it needs a set distance to work the percentages out that make it work e.g. if I move the bar down 50% the content would of moved up 50%. Because my field is dynamic it can be any size depending on the content. Any code that can get or measure the Y size, then use that calculated size as a variable to control the percentages of the scroller.
So far I have a few variables that have allowed me to create my scrollbar and restrict it's movement. The problem is that my scrollpane isn't moving, the script I have to get the scroll pane's highest Y co-ordinate is:
var scrollpaneUpper:Number = getProperty(Scrollpane,_height)/-1
So that whatever the height of Y is when the dynamic text is entered the variable will get it and divide by -1 so it's a negative figure that will lift the text field not lower it. The problem is it's not moving with my scrollbar or at all and I'm sure the rest of the code is right. I've got everything moving but the scrollpane isn't picking up the updated data from the dynamic text box. Instead it is taking the original value from the height of the text box which was 25 and is moving it that far, which means lots get's cut off. Is there a way I can update the data entry so it's not 25, it's as large as the text box is autoSized to?
I saw it in this site...[URL].. it says "Include code from external sources using #include".umm... does it mean I can use C code, etc. within flash??

basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

View 4 RepliesHow can I include as SWF created with AS3 into the FLA of using AS2.
I tried using loadMovie("myExternalMovie.swf");
but nothing happens.
I'm trying to make a flash game where people write small files, and they get included into the game. However, I need to use #include with a variable, but it won't let me (malformed). I need it to be a variable so the user can choose the file to be included. Anyways, how can I get around this? I need it so it will import the script and use it, if theres another way I'll be happy to hear.
View 5 RepliesYou know them flash decompilers - can they read your comments you leave in your code?Also, is there anyway to remove the comments if they can -- and can you somehow remove all whitespace and compact it so the swf runs faster, better, and is a smaller file?
View 1 RepliesI would like to include fonts in a SWF that I am building using Flash CS3 and AS 3. I have found lots of examples online that look like
this:
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsARIAL.TTF",
fontFamily="Arial")]
private var _arial_str:String;
However, the definition of the variable defined below the EMBED tag varies, sometimes its "Class", sometimes its "Font".
In any event, the font is used this way:
mytext.font = "Arial"
The problem is that this does not work for me. I have tried the various types mentioned above for the asset but none makes any difference.
If I embed the font in the library of my project I can access the font this way:
mytext.font = new AvantGarde().fontName;
But when I try this code with the Embed tag I get different errors compile time depending on how I've define the variable.
It appears that the code samples I found are for Flex and not Flash?
I really want to be able to make this work without embedding the fonts in the library.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on some classes in Flash Mx 2004 Pro, but I cannot seem to get the #include to work.
This is the error msg Flash gives me:
**Error** myClass.as: Line 1: Classes may only be defined in external ActionScript 2.0 class scripts.
class myClass {
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
This is my approach, maybe I'm doing something wrong...
1. I have an external AS file called myClass.as, which resides in the same directory as my Class.FLA
2. I have a constructor function in my class called myClass:
Code:
class myClass{
public function myClass(){
}
}
