I'm trying to add a scrolling marquee to a web site that can be updated by uploading a text file. I'm piecing together some old code and I'm having an issue with resizing the dynamic text (as you will see in my fla). I have found that I can fiddle around with the physical size of the text box and make my example work, but when I upload text files of varying length, that option just won't work.
We've seen it on many websites before, where there is a row of buttons on the page and when you position the mouse on that row, the buttons either scroll up or down depending on the position of the mouse. There are tuts available for AS1 and AS2, but i have yet to see an AS3 tut. (I may have overlooked it.)
I'm new here and relatively new to Flash. I'm attempting to build an mp3 player to add to my website using the "Flash MP3 Player" tutorial. The problem I am having is that the scrolling text displaying the song information is acting all strange. It only scrolls 2 letters over to the left and then 2 letters over to the right and also doesn't fill the entire text box (it leaves a section of empty space on the right side). What I want is for the song info to continuously scroll left to right like a marquee sign while each song is playing.
How to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.
The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?
I'm looking for a dynamic marquee... Code: this.createTextField("scroller_txt", 1, 0, 0, 100, 20); scroller_txt.border = true; scroller_txt.speed = 1; scroller_txt.text = "This is the text that will continuously scroll."+"this is also some text that will scroll"; scroller_txt.spaceSize = scroller_txt.getNewTextFormat().getTextExtent(" ").width; [Code] ..... And it works pretty good... the only thing thats wrong is the undefined in front of the text. I tried a few things but I cant make it disappear...
I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:
Frame1
Code: var formatObj = new TextFormat(); formatObj.size = 15; formatObj.color = 0; formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";
[code].....
For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.
The end product should look like: Scrolling thumbnails along the bottom (or side) of the page, scrolls controlled by users mouse.If the user clicks on a thumbnail a larger version of the image loads above or to the side.So far:I have the scrolling images doing as I want! The thumbnails are all buttons.
The problem:I can't get the larger image to load. I have tried creating a movie clip with the larger image in and attaching an Attach Movie script to the button - but it doesn't work.Using Flash MX 2004 and I am not fluent in Action Script - so far I use tutorials and try to alter script to fit what I am after.
I created the scrolling navigation, akin toby changing a script that I had. However, I'm stuck now, as all the buttons can move to the left, but not to the right. If it does not make sense, check out the attached swf and fla.I'm not too good with if else statement and x y property.
how to dynamically create a text box. Is it possible to dynamically create this box with scrolling capabilities? Do I need to dynamically attach a scrollbar component?
I've found several good tutorials in AS2.0 on creating a scrolling thumbnail menu bar for adding to a photo gallery, but nothing in AS3.0. Anyone have a tutorial or code they'd like to share?
I'm attempting to create a thing where my thumbnails will scroll across the bottom of the page, like when you put the mouse on the right it scrolls right and visa versa. I found a great tuturial only to realize halfway in that it was done with Flash 8, therefore apparently quite a few things have changed. And this is my first stab at FlashThe first place i noticed is when my motion tween didn't work, so I instead created a 'Classic Tween' finding it had the same affect as 'Motion Tween' in Flash 8, however as I progressed in the tut, I don't think the results were the same.
My images scroll but after creating a _xmouse<40){........prevFrame, there only continue to scroll, the prevFrame command doesn't work!So to my question...does anyone know of a good tut for this type of thing for CS5? OR, is anyone really familiar with both Flash 8 and CS5 and e differences for what I'm attempting to create?
I have literally just implemented some code in a class to make images scroll. The code is here:
Code: if (_root._xmouse>150) { _root.speed = 0; } if (_root._xmouse<650) { _root.speed = 0; } if (_root._xmouse<150) { [Code] .....
However the scrolling does not stop and eventually goes back on itself and does a loop. Without creating any mc's is there anyway to stop this from happening and create a boundary?
As you may have seen from my previous posts, I am creating a side-scrolling action game in Flash/Actionscript 3.0. Right now I am trying to get enemy objects to face the player's direction. Here is what I mean (dartD1 is an instance of the enemy character object. If its scaleX is 1, it's facing right; if its scaleX is -1, it's facing left):
How would you guys go about creating an horizontally scrolling panel of thumbnail images? I want a panel that scrolls for ever in both directions and it also needs to be controlled via two arrow buttons not a mouse over type scroller. I would also like to animate with Tweens in action script to get a nice smooth scroll.I know some as3 but I can't work out how to make the scroller repeatedly scroll in both directions.
I am in the process of creating a vertical scrolling space shooter game for deployment on mobile platforms using AIR.I've used some excellent tutorials online, video tutorials on Lynda and several books, including Game Programming University.Something they all seem to gloss over are the various screens that will be used.
For instance, my game right now will use a splash screen, a main menu screen, a credits screen,a settings screen, a difficulties screen, an instruction screen, an end game screen and save/load screen...and a play game screen, where the actual game will be played.I've created the screens as seperate frames in the main timeline with stop commands in between and code on each page (I know... bad!... but easy).So basically,they can navigate through the menus using buttons (mouseclicks, which will work with touchs as well) and when they are How do I pass data between them? I was thinking of storing it in shared object.
I'm building a retro airport scene and would like a marquee that reacts like a flip clock: [img] [URL] In theory, when the user clicks on the "Arrivals/Departures" screen, the entire screen turns into this flip clock-looknig screen and all the letters and numbers form when the machine gets to their letter. The entire animation will only last a couple of seconds, so the user is not waiting on the computer to deliver all the information, but the different letters take different amounts of time to load depending on where they are in the alphabet.
smooth out this scrolling text script. It works perfect but its not smooth. (keyframes are up at 45fps) I know I can just call the function quicker but it's just not the effect im lookin for. I want a steady smooth look to it.
Code: iniText = "Hello this is some text."; mov_cnt=0;[code]....
<marquee style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial; color: #C0C0C0; font-size: 8 pt">Now this is HTML code, very easy</marquee>
I think it could be done by adding a letter to an dynamic textbox, but how do you take those letters out of a text, i don't want to put each letter in an action script, that's too much work to make or to change
I'm using an old open-source mp3 player (musicplayer.sourceforge.net) on my site because the visual design does not clash with existing colors, etc.The author provides two versions of the player. (ea also has the fla file in case I want to modify it for a different swf) One allows the user to pick from several songs stored in a simple text playlist, and the appropriate album cover is displayed during playback. The other is a "slim" version that is just for playing one song at a time. In the first player,the artist's name (pulled from the playlist) is displayed and then the song title scrolls across while in play. Some additional basic text is stored in an accompanying actionscript 2 file. I have no trouble with this version. The slim version is supposed to do the same thing. However, it continues to marquee text of the player author's name regardless of what I change. I replaced text strings in both the actionscript file and the playlist but the player doesn't seem to extract them.
I have made a flash project which provides a UI for the user to input some text. The user can change the color, size, style of the text, and now I want the text move like a marquee in HTML. I have upload my .fla.
I want to show the TEXT with the marquee effect in my application.Marquee effect is only on the text that is in the BOX and that should be in the Vertical.
I would like to make a Marquee for news that is/has happened with my site.I have know Idea where I want to get started. Basically I want to have an XML File, and just load its contents and display it as a never ending marquee.
So I made some a nifty a MP3 player that grabs songs from an XML file. It displays the song name in the dynamic text field. Unfortunately, I only have very little display space and many of the track names are long. The solution: marquee scroll the text horizonally. The problem: I never marquee scrolled dynamic text and now I am lost.
Here is my main AS: stop(); playlist = new XML(); playlist.ignoreWhite = true; playlist.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) { [Code] .....
And while this did make the text scroll on the first song, it doesn't work so hot on the second song. It blips back-and-forth between the first and second song name. Advance to a third song and you've got an even bigger blipping mess. I kind of think that this code above isn't the way to go... that it isn't even worth reworking... that I should try something completely new.
