I have a scrollpane who's source is a movieclip filled with checkboxes.It works fine, except that some of the checkboxes names are cut off.The checkboxes are for science words.Biology is fine Astromony comes out Astronom with the y cut off. Adjusting the scrollpane width does not help Adjusting the movieclip width makes it look bizarre like it's stretched.
View 0 Repliesim currently working on building a search app which allows filtering of a list of products.
NOTE: shift+leftClick to drag and reorder the lists, just left click to use scrollbars and buttons.

here is a preview of the stage as it is at the moment.
when the scroll pane is created (dynamically) i also create a new instance of my own class which is as follows . . . (the content for the scrollpane)
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

holding shift and clicking allows you to drag the scroll panes into a different order. clicking one button in each of the scroll panes works fine. if you try clicking a second button in either of the scroll panes you will notice you have to click twice.
a good method to chop and or slice (animated) a movie clip? i know how to cut an image:
Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, breakUp);
loader.load( new URLRequest("http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4514034027_a5ebcac2cf.jpg")); [code]....
but not a movieclip,
Currently using the Scrollpane component, allows me to enter a 'source' via the properties.However as Im trying to use an MVC Model/View/Control approach .. I need to send the content some paramaters.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating one sprite named 'holder' and I'm adding childs to it. finally I use sp.source = "holder"; NOTE: scrollPane is in stage, having instance name = sp, holder is AS created.
this works very good, but I need to on button press refresh data on holder. So I want to complete remove holder, so my function can recreate it with new elements and then define scrollPane.source = "holder";
How can I do this?
var holder:Sprite = new sprite();
holder.name = "holder";
addChild(holder); // this adds holder to stage
//
// add elements to holder

in a game i am doing i have a class called "player" extending MovieClip.this Player MovieClip has multiple frames with animations in it.for example a MovieClip "Walk-right" on frame 2.this walkcycle clip now contains also some sprites/movieclipsone of these i have to colorize in every frame of the walkcycle according to the players color.how can i achieve this?in as1/as2 i used something like: this.clr.setGRB(_parent._parent.myclr)is there a way or do i have to think differently about the way i have to display the animations?

View 1 RepliesI don't even know what to ask for, but here is my problem: I want to draw a line as part of a graph.Then I want to draw a hollow circle over the line, but I want to cut out the center of the circle, so it shows the layer under the line.At the moment, drawing an outline of a circle the line still shows.I draw the line:
Then I draw the circle:

But when I do this in flash I still see the line, the circle is not hollow: How do I 'cut' the middle of the circle out? Instead of beginFill, I want to do beginErase
what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:

I have a character animation which i control from within a class "character"this class references a movieclip with e.g. 3 frames: "idle", "walk_right", "walk_left".these frames contain the animation movieclips.
so when the character moves left i use "gotoAndStop("walk_left")
so far so good, but:the character has some parts which need to be colorized according to the dynamic classes value "color".
I have this movieclip that i made in flash. How would I go about duplicating it and giving its parts instance names using AS3?

View 0 RepliesI've got a scrollpane (the UI component), inside wich I've got an mc. How could I "talk" to that mc inside the scroller? I ask this because the scrolled mc ha no instance name, but comes straight from the library, so something like this wont work:
scroller.myMc.play()
In the first frame of my main movie I include a AS file. In that as file there is a MC attached from the liberary named 'shoutbox_holder'. In the shoutbox_holder mc I attach 5 movieclips 'window1', 'window2'.. also from the library. This works very well, because I see the mc's in the debug mode.
shoutbox_holder
|_window1
window2
window3
..
I want the 'shoutbox_holder' to attach to a scrollpane, so I did drag a scrollpane to the main stage from the componentspanel, deleted it and drag a instance from the library to the stage, then In the contentpath field I insert 'shoutbox_holder' (pointing to the mc created in the as file). But this will not work 'I already tried different paths' but nothing!

I have an XML file that loads into flash and is dynamically displayed on the stage. What I cannot figure out is how to add a scroller to the movieclip so that when the data from the XML file is larger (overlaps the stage) then the content would be scrollable. I have checked and searched for about 1-2 hours and have came up with nothing.
View 5 RepliesI have a ScrollPane component to stage and I give it as source a new MovieClip instance. How can I access the movieclip inside scrollpane? This is what I have so far but it returns null:
var regForm = new RegistrationForm();
regForm.name = "rForm";
regFormSP.source = regForm;
var form = Object(regFormSP.content).getChildByName("rForm");
trace(form) // returns null

There is an object "instance20" as a parent to rForm...Why is that?
I need to get my main swf A to tell the swf B (swfB is my scrollpane content or source) to gotoAndStop at frame 2 but it doesn't communicate.Here is my code on my main swfA:
Code:
function xbutton (e:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop("p1");MovieClip(sp.content).gotoAndStop(2);}
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, xbutton);
Here is my code on frame 2 in swfB:
Code:
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();
to better visualise what i am doing; swfA is my website with lots of pages, swfA has one page* that holds my scrollpane, inside my scrollpane is swfB with a flPlayback (*this page is the tv page). when I exit the tv page to another page on my website the tv must stop. swfB has my flPlayBack on frame 1, frame 2 is blank (no tv).
Ps: The code in swfB works fine independently! I know this because tested it by adding a button (when pressed it goes to frame 2 and the code does stop the tv).
I have attached a movieclip with several frames on it. Onclick of a button I change the frame of the movieclip and stops it.
Code:
_mv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(_e:Event){
MovieClip(_scp.content).gotoAndStop(_frm);
});
But the scrollbars are not adjusting according to the height of the content. How can I do that.
I have setup a flash MovieClip with a scrollpane in it, and another MovieClip that run's a FOR loop to create a list of buttons dynamically. I have the script pull the dynamic MovieClip and load it as a source to the scrollPane but the scrollbars are not appearing. To make sure that the scrollpane was working, I added an event listener to the scrollpane that when I clicked it it will run scrollPane.invalidate() and the scrollbars will pop on.
So here's my problem/question: If I'm dynamically adding a listMC to this scrollPaneMC, how do I get listMC to throw the invalidate() to the parent scrollPaneMC? Here's another way to look at it: Root adds a child scrollPaneMC. ScrollPaneMC uses listMC as a source from the library. listMC run's its FOR loop and dynamically creates a list and appears in the scrollPaneMC, but no scrollbars.
I have a MC that is too tall for my stage and want to place it inside a ScrollPane. The probelm is accessing functions inside the MC. I have tried scrollpane.content.mc.function but that doesn't work. How do you access a mc inside tghe scrollpane?

Is there something special I have to do because its linking to a frame FROM a scrollpane? Never done this one before.
how to build a button inside a movieclip.

For my button I am using this code:

^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this
valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun();
But it returns error #1006
How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
