CS3 Inserting An Accordion Inside A ScrollPane?
Mar 10, 2009
I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?

recentMsg_bt.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,resentMsgClick);
var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();[code].......
Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.

I'm making a basic photo slide show for a website I'm working on. I have the following in place and working:
- One movieclip (images_mc) preloads all of the images before the main slideshow movieclip (player_mc) begins
- player_mc contains photo_mc which is the container for the image that is currently playing...it is animated on the stage and everything is setup that I can insert the first image and play it, then insert the second image and play it again
- I have an array full of pointers to the images_mc instances of the photos (mc_array)
- I'm having problems inserting the content from images_mc into photo_mc...I've done the following:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("placeholder_mc", photo_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(photo_mc.placeholder_mc);
photo_mc.placeholder_mc = mc_array[photoCounter];
[Code]....
The assignment on line 4 is causing the placeholder_mc to be completely rewritten, instead of duplicating the content from images_mc and inserting it into placeholder_mc. How do I duplicate the content into the placeholder? I've tried duplicateMovieClip() several times, but it always returned UNDEFINED, so maybe I'm not doing it right?
How do I insert the preloaded images properly?

I have an accordion component on my stage and I really do not even know where to start to do .I found this code on the Adobe help pages and it causes the movement of the accordion to bounce... which is great... but my problem is populating the accordion with the data.
Quote:
import mx.core.View;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
top_acc.createChild(View, "first", {label:"FIRST", icon: vt[i]});[code]........
My accordion is called "top_acc".I have three(3) labels... (FIRST,SECOND, and THIRD) Within there i would like arrays to be displayed for the select label.My arrays are defined and when i trace them i get exactly what i am looking for... the format of the code to add an array to my accordion...then upon selecting the item in the array displayed i would to be able to display that same array value in a text box called "my_selection" ....also the amount of items in the array are not static and change day to day..

I have my scrollpane on the stage, I have created the mc and exported it and linked it to the scrollpane, I have created a button on layer 1 inside the mc linked to the scrollpane and I have created a 2nd layer for as3. Below is the AS3 that I have used. When I export the mc to view the scrollpane everything works apart from the buttons itself. I can see everything but the buttons wont link to the webpage.

I'm using a scrollpane for a loaded external swf file. Scroll works fine but I want to add exra buttons to control the file such as size and position. If this is regular movie you can simply add the instance name and call it but in this cane since it's inside of component I don't know how I can reach it... The component is named "mySp" and the loaded swfg file is called "photography.swf" which I set it up in parameters tab under "contentpath"

I 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
[Code]..
There is an object "instance20" as a parent to rForm...Why is that?

I am working with a scrollpane that loads dynamic content into holder mcs, I also have another mc that loads from library as a background for the scrollpane. It is not an image but a vector background generated entirely in Flash. I would like to have this background tile according to content length so that when you scroll you always see the image. I know this is a common task and normally I would solve it on my own but I'm not feeling very lucid today..

how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}
[Code]....
^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I need to put a long static text inside a scrollPane? I've got a custom font embed. When I enable "Anti-alias for readability" the text looks wired (overlaps) in the scrollPane. But when I change it to "Use device fonts" the static text shows fine. How can I overcome this? Basically I need to have a long paragraph inside a scrollPane with a custom font.

I am using a ScrollPane that I want users to be able to scroll by clicking andywhere inside it. I have set up the pane like this:
[Code]..
I go on to show a few different SWFs on the source movieclip. These SWFs are spaced vertically by about 80 pixels each inside the clip. The scroll dragging is working fine when you click on one of these SWFs, however, it does not scroll if you hit the vertical space in between items. Is there a way to allow the scroll drag to work no matter where inside the scrollpane (or movieclip) the user clicks? I would rather not have to fill the empty vertical spaces with some blank SWF, or make the others have a greater height.

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.

I'm trying to create a draw program in AS2 where I can draw shapes with my mouse inside a Scrollpane. Furthermore, I need to be able to drag and drop these objects within the Scrollpane. Currently, I'm doing the following:
1) I created an empty movie clip called main and I'm attaching it inside the Scrollpane called scroll
2) I draw the objects inside another empty movie clip called p0, p1, p2, etc. which I'm attaching inside main. When I drag the objects around, they can be dragged outside the boundaries of the Scrollpane. How can I prevent that from happening?
