But it's not scrolling..You can view it here:(Click Start, 2 times the right arrow, then the book, to the righthand side there is a scrollbarI have divided my Scrollbar into 3 classes, the actual scrollbar, the scrollbar custom event and the scrollbar including content and mask.This is the actual scrollbar:

I created a movieclip and linked it to a class called CustomButton. Inside the movie clip is a text field with name btnText. I then created a few buttons with this code:
Code:
var newBtn:CustomButton = new CustomButton();
// set properties of new button
newBtn.x = INIT_X;
[code]....
So far, so good. Everything works ok and the code sets the text of the new movieclip. Now, I wanted to actually write the CustomButton class and add some properties and eventually do other stuff with it and so I wrote this:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
On trying my script again, it gives me this error:
Code:1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type String
the line of code it refers to is:
Code:
newBtn.btnText.text = text;

I am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I am trying to make a quiz application. I want to use classes in this project (which I am still learning how to use). I found a sample posted by a user here that I can clearly understand. The issue I am having is that actaul text for the questions is very long. So when I apply my questions it just runs the text off of the stage. How can I have the text field drop to another line so that it doenst go off of the stage? Here is the code that creates the text field (it is on an AS file).
public function QuizQuestion(theQuestion:String, theAnswer:int, ...answers) { //store the supplied arguments in the private variables: question = theQuestion; theCorrectAnswer = theAnswer; choices = answers; //create and position the textfield (question): questionField = new TextField();
[code]....
I am guessing I need to add something where the text field is created that talks about the width of the text field and allow it to be multiline, I am just not sure how to word it in AS3...

I have a slight issue with a dynamically created text field I have. Basically I have a movieclip already on stage, and within it, using actionscript I create a text field in itAll that works, however when I animate the alpha of the parent movieclip from 0 to 100, the text field is always there, it never fades in. It looks wierd too, like the movielip will fade in, but the text will be there already without the fade, even though that textfield is inside the moveliphere's my code;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = new TitleFont().fontName;
my_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;

I'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function

These 2 text fields are separated by a small space between them no matter how many lines of text the XML file contains.After few attempts there is still a problem with loading 1 of the 2 external XML files.The attached example loads 1 of the 2 XML files only when the text of text field 1 is written inside Flash.one_txt.text = "write some text here"When i try to load on both fields XML files an error comes up which I am not able to figure out why!

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

I am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes. In fla file there are movieclip scrollbox, inside of which are dynamic text field (txtField) and custom scrollbar ( consisting of two clips: thumb and track). If I copy some text into text field, everything works. If load external text into text field, text is loaded but it doesn't scroll. Below are codes from all classes:

I have a dynamic text field, multi-line. I have attached ascrollbar component to it via drag and drop.It is empty but gets text dumped into it via AS'sappendText() method when the user clicks a button.It works, but if there are more lines than what fits into thetext field, the scroll bar does not "activate", and allow the usero scroll to see all of it.

I have made a custom scroll bar, using tlf text converted to a movie clip that measures 903px tall. I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up. The button will go back to its place at the top of the scroll bar, but the movie clip only scrolls back up about two thirds of the way.I don't get any errors when I test the file, and I've permitted debugging in the hopes it would find an obvious mistake to no avail.Here's the code:

// Scroll My Content function - AS3

I'm having an issue with a scrollbar (slyder and line) going below the height of the text field when the text file contains a link to an image in an HTML text file. This only happens when there is a tag for the image in the text file, but not when it is text only. and the code for the text file:

I'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.
how to make the scrollbar refresh each time a new text file is loaded? I've attached my FLA in a zip file. Here is the scrollbar I used from Kirupa: [URL] Also, here is a test version of the site: http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose2/index2.html And here is the actionscript used for the scrollbars:

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
