scroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.

this one is hard to explain but i want to be able to scroll a movieclip and have text and images scroll up or down without the main movie clip moving.Like for example the main movie clip is a square and the user scrolls down the movie clip and can see text and images that are visible in width and height of the square.
View 1 RepliesBecause I'm working on an XML blog. But the thing is, Flash only supports 2880px and each blog movieClip is 500px so with 5 posts the swf will be filled and therefore I'd need to create a new XML file and new SWF file to continue the blog...
View 2 RepliesI have been searching for an answer to this and can't seem to find one for AS3:I have a scroll pane component that dynamically loads a movie clip from my library. This movie clip has buttons inside that I would like to access from my main timeline. I can't figure out what my target path should be (for AS3).In AS2 it appears that it would be something like this:scrollpaneName.spContentHolder.inside_btn...AS3 doesn't recognize spContentHolder though so it must be something different...
View 4 RepliesOk, i bought a scroller that works well scrolling content. With elasticity and stuff.
My problem is trying to access buttons inside the scroller.
I have an instance of the scroller component on stage and named it Scroller. I set the content in its component inspector. It loads a movieclip from the Library called Panel. Inside the Panel i have 2 buttons. button1 and button2. If i publish everything works fine.
Now i am not very good at AS3. How do i access the buttons. i've tried this among other bits and pieces i found on the web.
Scroller.Panel.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, somefunction);
Can't get it to work. I know the Panel movie out of the library that the Scroller component loads needs to be somehow listened for but i don't have a clue.
how to access the buttons without getting an error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property button1 through a reference with static type Class.
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 scrollbar that scrolls left or right when the cursor is moved either side of the central x coordinate. I've been trying to change it so the scroll only activates when the cursor is towards the far right hand side (ie x>75%) or towards the far left hand side (x<25%) of the scrollbar, leaving the central 50% of the scrollbar inactive.
Code:
function scrolling() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
container_mc._x += Math.cos(((mask_mc._xmouse)/mask_mc._width)*Math.PI)*15;

View 1 Repliesi have a bunch of variables loaded into a movie clip and taken the data and created a comment post / shout box the problem im having is i cant find anything on scrolling an mc using the uisrollbar everything i have found has been with custom scrollbars and scrollbar classes.Url..In the first example it is the data loaded and placed into a MC and the second example i have tried to load that MC into a scrollpane but it doesnt scroll right.As you can see its scrolling right past all the post into blank area when it shout stop at the last post. The other problem is if there is more then 8 entries into the databse it wont even scroll to the last few entries....so obviously its not recognizing the hight of the MC properly maybe i need to force it some how but i dont know.I have tried a masking scroll but i cant seem to get the scrollbar conected to the MC to scroll it.some sample code or perhaps a good tutorial on using the uiscrollbar with a mask scroll.One last thing i shout ask is should i be using variables or XML passed from php to acomplish this entry viewer?

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to make a vertical scrollbox (say, 150 px wide by 500 px high with a scrollbar) and where the content is defined by an XML file. The catch... I'd like each name in the list to become a button (or otherwise clickable) that opens a swf (also specified in the XML file). I have succeeded in making a static list where each "name button" was created manually... but I'm realizing my list is going to be hundreds of names and I'm thinking there must be a way to achieve this with XML. Here is the current version:

I am making a scroll bar but it doesn't scroll as far as it should. I triple checked all my math but I can't find anything wrong. Probably the code of interest is on the movie clip content0 within the instance whole. This is what actually controlls the scrolling. Most of the other script dictates how the sliders work so you can ignore that, they work fine. Scroll index is a number between 0 and 1 indicating how far down the bar the slider is, 0 it hasnt moved, 1 it is at the bottom. That works as well. So i am not sure why this doesnt work.

View 2 RepliesI'm currently learning Flex, and am having the hardest time getting scroll bars to work. In short, I'm making a giant form for users to fill out, contained within a viewstack component. The user will type up information in one view, and it will be displayed in the other. But right now in the first canvas I have components that run off the screen and flex doesn't automatically add a scroll bar, so I added 'verticalScrollPolicy="on"' to my canvas. Now, while it gives me a scroll bar, it gives me an empty scroll bar. I still cannot move it up or down, meaning components are still trapped off the bottom of my screen. Am I missing something simpleEdit - I'm using Adobe Flex Builder 3, and the components it lets you drag in. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/218/problem1f.jpg This is a picture of the problem, and i guess relavent code would be.

I tried the tutorial on [URL] The Object-Oriented Scrollbar: Part 2 tutorial. Every thing is fine, but when I load the swf to main.swf

View 1 RepliesMainly been making websites all these years, but in my last year at school i started to get interested in Flash Actionscript. I've been at home for over a year in 2008, unemployed. I got back to school in September 2008 but quit the education as it wasn't for me. Now I'm looking to get a job, but I need a showcase, so I'm building my portfolio at the moment.
I'm currently working on my portfolio which i wanted to make in Flash using XML generated content. I got as far as getting the content generated in my prototype. Now I'm trying to build the real thing. I currently got a scrollbar on the left which contains the thumbnails. I used the custom scrollbar from [URL] ([URL]). The content in it is generated with xml and actionscript though.

How do make a movieclip visible false when a scroll bar starts to scroll?

Any way of personalizing your browser scrollbar using actionscript? If so, could you point me in the way of a valuable tutorial. I have a feeling it is uncontrollable through flash though and through Javascript.

View 5 RepliesI have an AS 2 scrollbar that I use over and over when I need to. The scrolls layers sit on the main timeline so in the past all I did was copy to the new fla main timeline edit the scroll, buttons, colors etc. I need a scrollbar in a project and I want to use the same scroll but the problem is the scrollbar must sit inside of a movieclip called "page-design"
The scroll uses the old Tell target method in AS 2 and I'm having trouble getting the correct code to work. rather than copy and paste the original code here, I have the fla of the original scroll working off a main timeline. What I need to do is to put the scroll inside a movieclip so the scrollbar is inside "page-design_mc and page design _mc goes on the main fla timeline follow?
I have an image gallery with a bunch of thumbnails displayed on the page in a grid-like layout. Currently, the swf sits in a HTML page set at 100% width and height. There's a resize listener that adjusts the layout so that the thumbnails all fit on the page
at once. So, as the browser window gets narrower, the columns decrease and rows increase as the thumbnails get pushed down the page.
The problem is, once the thumbnails get pushed far down far enough to go past the bottom of the browser, the overflow is hidden and the thumbs "below the fold" are not accessible. Is there a way to pass the dynamic height of the SWF, so that the browser detects whether or not it should display the side scroll bar?
I've seen this pretty slick flash site where the content is clearly loaded in dynamically and the browser scroller bar is used.
