View 1 RepliesThis is a marque if you don't know what it is:
<marquee style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial; color: #C0C0C0; font-size: 8 pt">Now this is HTML code, very easy</marquee>
I think it could be done by adding a letter to an dynamic textbox, but how do you take those letters out of a text, i don't want to put each letter in an action script, that's too much work to make or to change
How to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.
The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?
I have made a flash project which provides a UI for the user to input some text. The user can change the color, size, style of the text, and now I want the text move like a marquee in HTML. I have upload my .fla.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code:
var formatObj = new TextFormat();
formatObj.size = 15;
formatObj.color = 0;
formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).

I'm using actionscript as a preloader to load an external swf from a url, and I've noticed that the traces in the external swf are passed onto the loader's output. Is there any way to detect if a function has been activated inside the external swf, and use it to call to another function inside the loader?

View 0 RepliesI am in the process of building a web site and am running into an issue with dynamic loading text.I am trying to make a scrolling news section with a stage of 200 W x 250 LCreated a movie clip with the following coding:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
Then set the clip (which is 250 W x 600 L) on the main stage, moving upwards, creating the auto scroll effect.The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to make the text use the whole width of the text box I created. It only uses half of the width, creating columbs like this:
Hello and
welcome
to our new
[code]...
The text box itself is at least twice the width of the sentences, but they aren't using the full width.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get the code below to work, but no such luck:
Code:
var newsAry = new Array("news/040720.html");
for(i=1; i<=newsAry.length; i++) {
this["btn" + i].index = i;
this["btn" + i].onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(" + newsAry[this.index - 1] + ",'newswin','height=400,width=450,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')");
}}
I'm trying to get the 'newsAry' Array to work in the javascript getURL action. When I use a regular html page in there the page works just fine.

View 1 Repliesim trying to make a simple animated news page for digital flash magazine, I want there to be several boxes on the page that are static until you mouse over them at which point they will start to animate.

Symbol.stop();
Symbol.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, animateMC);
function animateMC(evt:MouseEvent):void{
Symbol.play();

View 2 RepliesI'm building a retro airport scene and would like a marquee that reacts like a flip clock: [img] [URL] In theory, when the user clicks on the "Arrivals/Departures" screen, the entire screen turns into this flip clock-looknig screen and all the letters and numbers form when the machine gets to their letter. The entire animation will only last a couple of seconds, so the user is not waiting on the computer to deliver all the information, but the different letters take different amounts of time to load depending on where they are in the alphabet.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to add a scrolling marquee to a web site that can be updated by uploading a text file. I'm piecing together some old code and I'm having an issue with resizing the dynamic text (as you will see in my fla). I have found that I can fiddle around with the physical size of the text box and make my example work, but when I upload text files of varying length, that option just won't work.
Code: Select allmyData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
mcText._txt.text = this.content;

smooth out this scrolling text script. It works perfect but its not smooth. (keyframes are up at 45fps) I know I can just call the function quicker but it's just not the effect im lookin for. I want a steady smooth look to it.

We've seen it on many websites before, where there is a row of buttons on the page and when you position the mouse on that row, the buttons either scroll up or down depending on the position of the mouse. There are tuts available for AS1 and AS2, but i have yet to see an AS3 tut. (I may have overlooked it.)
