ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Hide Or Show Scrollbar For Multiline INPUT Textfield
Feb 14, 2012I use AS3 which I keep separate from my fla project.
I have a contact page and the textfield where you type your message is an Input textfield with multiline and textwrap enabled. The height of my textfield allows for 5 lines of text, then you will have to start scrolling after that.
I use a my own scroll bar nested in a movieclip with instance name "txtScroller"
The Input textfield instance name is "messageText"
What I want to do: I want to hide the "txtScroller" mc and show it when the user has typed more than 5 lines of text (using enter to break to a new line, etc).
Now for my problem: The first part of the code works, the "txtScroller" mc is hidden, and I have even tested it with the trace function (see code bellow).
I can for the life of me NOT get the the second part to work, the part where i want to show "txtScroller" mc again. I've treid with the trace function as well but it shows nothing in the 'output' pannel (see code bellow).
The Code:
This is all I have with regards to hiding or showing the "txtScroller" mc.
Code:
if (messageText.numLines <= 5) {
trace("less");
txtScroller.visible = false;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrollbar Won't Show All Content
Aug 6, 2009I've used Bill T's scrollbar code and loaded text from an XML file. When I drag, the text content is not completely shown.
I'm suspecting it has to do with the value "1.3" in this particular line:
Code:
scrollAmount=(this._height-(mask_mc._height)/1.3)/(mask_mc._height-scrollbar_mc.dragger_mc._height);
how I could use this code, to show up complete text content dynamically?
Here's the complete AS:
Code:
//set a variable
targY=0;
//set the drag action of the dragger

ActionScript 2.0 :: Custom Scrollbar For A Textfield
Nov 18, 2005I made a custom scrollbar for a textfield that works like a charm... but in it's "alpha-state", it was only showing where the text was scrolled to (and how long the text is, by it's own height)- you couldn't actually click the scrollbar and drag it. So I added a little AS to the actual scrolling block MC that *should* work... and kind of does- but not like I think it logically should..?

View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Img From Xml, Textfield.height, Scrollbar?
Dec 1, 2007I am loading xml and using Colin Moock's scrollbar as he desrcibes it in Essential Actionscript 3.0. It all worked fine until I tried to put a link to a jpg inside the xml.Where other html tags give no problem, the img seems to mess with the textfield height. I gave the textfield a fixed height but when I try to scroll the field with the image, and trace the textfield height, it increases more and more when I scroll down, messing up the scrollbar.the img tag looks like this (and it loads fine into the textfield):
Code:
<IMG ALIGN= "left" SRC='pics/portret.jpg' WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="207" HSPACE='0' VSPACE='10' />
The slightly adapted scrollbar class looks like this (I gave the scrolltrack a fixed height and tried to give t.height a fixed height too within this class but tracing t.height keeps showing that it is increasing while scrolling down):
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]..............
So I think that the code or flash doesn't handle the img very well,

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Visible / Hidden Scrollbar For Dynamic TextField (XML File)
Aug 18, 2010I am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library
