ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Textbox Clickable Without Losing The Ability To Scroll?
Aug 28, 2009
I am relatively new to Flash and have developed this application using AS3.0.I have a screen which lists file descriptions. The file descriptions are in a movie clip and the movie clip is added to the stage in a scroll panel (instance name aSp). This part I have working fine.The file descriptions movie clip is called AbstractDisplay and it is basically a textarea. When the file description exceeds the size of my box, scroll arrows appear. Again this is what I want.Now to the part I can't get to work. I want to be able to click on the movie clips that are in my aSp Scroll Pane. If I make the individual movie clips that I put in my scroll pane clickable, I lose the ability to scroll the text in the individual movie clips. Here is the code that I have so far. This code is within a loop and I'm only showing the code that sets up the movie clip.
// Setup abstract to place in abstractContainer
mcMain = new AbstractDisplay;// Get new instance of AbstractDisplay
mcMain.name = "a" + i;// Set instance name
Problem: When doing anAPP to test it out in my smartphone devices. I tested it on my computer and it works fine. But in devices, im not able to scroll the textbox down/up because my devices dont have a scroll wheel to scroll up/down.Assuming that im looking for something like this: When I use my fingers to touch on the textbox and slide it upwards, the textbox will scroll down
Im trying to build a a small viewer that will allow the user the ability to scroll through a certain number of thumbnails. I'm having trouble on how to go about this. I haven't used flash or actionscript 3 in quite a while so Im pretty rusty when it comes to perspective on how to go about this. I basically want the user to interact with a scroll bar (up and down) to move through a certain number of thumbnail pictures (125 x 125).
[url]Why this dynamic textbox won't scroll? It's just a normal old multiline, embedded fonts dynamic textbox fed from an xml file that reads a Notepad txt file. It is loading just fine but not scrolling?
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!
i have a dynamic text box loaded with data from external text file i need the script to make the data scroll vertically line by line. without any button click
I have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.
[URL]. Skip the intro. Then - why this dynamic textbox won't scroll? It's just a normal old multiline, embedded fonts dynamic textbox fed from an xml file that reads a Notepad txt file. It is loading just fine but not scrolling?

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function _root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() { trace(this); var splitThis:String = this var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu"); trace(splitThis) trace(splitThisArray[1]) };
Now the trace output I get is _level0.mainMenu1 _level0.mainMenu1 undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".

I have a movie clip which has 3 different text boxes inside it. I want to make each text box clickable similar to a hyperlink in HTML (clicking on text box 1 takes you to one website, clicking on text box 2 takes you to another website, etc.). Right now my code is as follows:
ActionScript Code: MyMovieClip.gotoAndStop(2); MyMovieClip.TextField1 = "Click Here For Example 1";
[Code]...
So, you will see that I have 3 different text fields (labelled TextField1, TextField2, TextField3. Something is obviously wrong with my onRelease function, so my question is how can I make TextField1 clickable and send you to [URL] when you click on it? Am I using the right approach in the first place?
I have text in a textArea component that I need to be clickable and open up the users email program.The text shows fine when I have this:infoBox.taEmail.text = xmlDataSelect.office[evt.target.selectedIndex];but I can not click on it, so I tried this:infoBox.taEmail.htmlText = "<A REF="mailto:"+xmlDataSelect.office[evt.target.selectedIndex].email+ "</U></A>";
In an AIR app, I am loading a bunch of arbitrary text via JSON, loading it into an object, and displaying it via a custom renderer. I would like to have urls be clickable. So I'm sure that this is possible via some crazy regex thing (as I found for php here), but, Flex being flex, I'm astonished that there isn't some builtin functionality for this that I'm just not finding, or, failing that, a library that someone has created to do just this. (I'm equally astonished that this question hasn't been asked here before. I anticipate being flamed with the link to that)
But after I do that, I can't click the signOut movieclip. I thought it might be because the signOutBtn was under the invisible signInBtn but that is not the case.
I'm having a heck of a problem with the startDrag function in Flash right now. I'm trying to make a draggable and/or clickable curtain rope, which works now to a certain extent. When the user single clicks on the rope, it opens/closes itself. When a user clicks and drags the rope part of the way, it opens/closes itself the rest of the distance. A user can also click and drag the rope the whole way if they like. Everything does what it is supposed to when a user single clicks. If a user double clicks, the curtain is permanently draggable, which is obviously not what I'm going for.Variable used to determine whether the curtain goes up or down
