ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling Through One Set Doesn't Affect The Other Sets On The Stage?
Jul 11, 2009
I have a project in mind in which I would like 3 sets of interlinked images that are displayed on the same stage. While the mouse is over one set the wheel button allows for scrolling through that set of images and so on for the other two sets of images.
How do I separate the three sets of images, so that scrolling through one set doesn't affect the other sets on the stage? Each set has about 30 images each.
I wrote a function within a function to control 2 Tweens.(the 2nd one isnt in the function, it's called)My problem is... is that it works for the first time.. the button is hovered over and all the other buttons show themselves and then disappear again, except the one you're over. Then I do it a 2nd time and it doesn't work. why is it only working right one time? and why isn't the if statement I put in the local function affecting the for loop? The 2nd time it takes the button you're hovering over with it and fades it out. (even though the if statement registers according to trace)this is the code
I have a loop which creates a bunch of movieclips and sets them on the stage.As I create each one I attatch an eventListener to it.My problem is that when the eventListener fires, the function it calls always works on the first mc added to the stage, not the one that fired the listener.How do I fix this?Here's a bit of the code:
In my flash scene, I want to put several items off screen (to make things easier) which are going to rush through the scene (they are very big in size) but I worry that they might slow down the movie as it's playing.
But if I have things off the scene (out of view upon playback), do they affect the speed of the movie (affecting the memory and slowing things down)? To give you a better idea here is the scene: There is a vehicle moving quickly and the camera is facing the right side of the vehicle, so we can see the moving landscape behind the vehicle. I can either create a very very long landscape and movie it all one time (if having the long landscape off the screen does not affect the movie's speed), or I can create certain points of the movie where I ad and take away from the landscape.
Anyhow, I have a few buttons (six of them) to scroll from left to right non-stop via looping. Those buttons are in the up state. What I want to achieve is that when someone hovers over one of the buttons, the entire scrolling temporarily stops and perhaps the hovered button becomes larger as well. I'm sure you've seen something similar on ebay listings before shown as slideshows.
my Over buttons are managed via movie clips, but not the Up state buttons.
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, MouseWheel, false, 0, true); function MouseWheel (e:MouseEvent) { if (e.delta > 0) {[code]..........
What I want to do is simply to disallow scrolling when the top or bottom end of testMC hits the top/bottom of the stage. What occurs right now is that I can basically scroll completely off the stage and it doesn't stop.
I have a situation where i have a horizontal scrolling container that has a video object inside it. the video object has to stay inside the scrolling content for another reason i don't want to get into here. Now the client wants me to keep the video in the center of the stage even when the clip its inside of is scrolling. Normally I would just take it out of the scrolling clip and place it above the scrolling content but i cant do that here. I tried this math but it didn't work exactly. on an enter frame when the video is open I have this code;
Actionscript Code: if( vid ) vid = ( stage.stageWidth/2 - vid.width/2) - scrollingContainer.x;
I have a mask over a movieclip(containing images) that scrolls on mouse over to show the hidden images, now i figured out the code but am having trouble containing the scroling ability to when i mouse over the content_mc area.so anywhere i mouse on the stage moves the content_mc, I only want it to move when i mouse over the actual content_mc movieclip?tried using currentTarget but cant figure out where i put it.[code]
I have a movie clip with all my images, this code allows me to go either right or left and decrease the speed either if i go to the right or left. But I want the the scrolling effect to stop when it reaches the end, either left or right side. How do I do that? You can download the fla file here [URL]
Im working on a horizontal scroll of images I was able to get the ease to happen on roll out but im having trouble stopping the images from scrolling too far off the stage using the ease , I attached the fla.
I have a graphical component and I am trying to obtain it's coordinates relative to the stage by using the localToGlobal or contentToGlobal methods.
My problem is when scrolling a Container, these methods do not return the correct values, but return the old unshifted coordinates of the graphical component. Later, after everything seems stable, when trying to use the methods they return correct value so this means at the time where I use them after scrolling not all information necessary in computing have been commited.
For the case of the Container class I have investigated and although it passes through the scrollChildren method, the computation is wrong.For the case of the Tree component when scrolling with the wheel, the methods return correct value, but when pressing the arrow button of the scroll-bar the methods return incorrect value.
Until now I have tried to listen the scroll and the update complete events when they are dispatched but without any success. So my problem is that after scrolling I would need to know a moment(event to be listened or something else) that I can call the methods and the output to be ok.I would like the final solution to be uniform.
I 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.
i've been trying to centre an external swf into a blank movieclip on the stage and having problems with it. the swf contains a text box with scrolling text in it and that's where the problem lies.it's like flash sees the entire amount of text within the text box (ie if the scrolling box is 200px high but the amount of text within it is 500px high, it treats the swf as being 500px high). you can see an example at URL...it loads fine, and you can click on 'buy' which is also fine, as soon as you resize the window though, the mc 'jumps' up. i'm using a flash file purchased from flashden (no response when i asked for help from the author). also tried a simple version initially though and had the same problem (tried with external text file too and no joy). does anyone know if this is or is not possible?the source flas are at: URL...
I just made a scroll area with buttons and draggable items. All the code is written for vertical scrolling, the content I need to be scrolled is going to be horizontal. how can I rewrite this code to be horizontal scrolling? it seems like the scroll button (the one you drag along) doesn't stay confined to its scroll line either.
I want the map's movement to be constrained to the edges of the stage. Or in other words, if you move your mouse from the left edge of the stage to the right, you only just see the right edge map, whereas now, it dissappears off the other side of the stage.
I put a text area component on stage and set the vertical scrolling to Auto, so now when ever I have to much text the scroll bar pops up, but the problem is that I can't get the scroll bar to always be on the bottom, so when ever I add more text I always have to use my mouse and drag the scroll bar to view the latest info, is there a way that I can see the latest update without having to manually scroll down?
I searched for this a lot, but I couldn't find a solution for this 'bug' as it's called here:click on first flash, and use mouse wheel, then click on second flash and use mouse wheel again. Now You know perfectly what 'bug' I mean.The thing is, I believe this bug can be solved WITHOUT externalinterface. This chat is made with AS 3:pen 'codebox', hold ENTER to make a hundred of lines or so, and then test your mouse wheel.It doesn't use any externalinterface technique (both obviously as it's Kongregate, and confirmed by author), just mx.component.textArea that itself implements the scrolling nicely.I couldn't achieve that with even.preventDefault or stopPropagation.
however I need to create a gallery with two rows of thumbnails representing Before & After situation. So the xml would have to make a reference to 2 sets of images/thumbnails. I don't even have to have them scrolling. Is there an easy way of modyfying the existing code?
I am trying to scale a swf that has been loaded via a swfloader. When I get the complete event or the init event the dimensions of the swfloader are still zero. I don't see a value in the dimensions until I do a resize of the browser window. The swf is just an animation. Trying to resize the actual swf content gives inconsistent results.
I have a project to do and I'm not sure how to get it done. I have some experience using xml to load images into flash but that was one at a time. the project that i'm currently working on needs to work like something like this.
I need flash to load in three images at one time(from an xml file) and display them in a horizontal line, and then move across the stage from one side to the other.
i know how to load one image at a time but not multiple. and i don't know how to make the images slide across the stage in a line.
If I import a font to the library, am I correct in assuming that it imports the massive character set (all). There seems to be no setting that I can see where to specify the glyphs or level of character support for example all the funny characters.
I know how to display 1 record set from asp to flash but I get tuck when trying to display multiple record sets. Do i have to loop with action script? I really dont know. I am trying to make a news blog and pull news from the database into flash and organize it similar to this

I have about 100 movieclips that scroll across the stage from out of bounds. They are supposed to hit another movieclip both in bounds and out of bounds, but it seems like Flash only detects the hittest when it happens within the frame.
