How To Create TextField With Scroll In AS3 And FlashDevelop
Feb 23, 2011
I am working on a flash game based on an AS3 project using FlashDevelop. I need a textbox with scroll bar. I was able to create an editable TextField, but I can't find a way to add a vertical scroll bar.
I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata> <Line>this is line 1</Line> <Line>this is line 2</Line> <Line>this is line 3</Line> </XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
Is it possible to create flv player's (mainly YouTube Player's) wrapper using AS3 and FlashDevelop only? I am concerned about it because I don't have Flash authoring environment. I have seen many tutorials and in first step (in all of them) are asking to create a .fla file.
I'm having trouble using the following tutorial and flashdevelop template to build a flash project for iOS. [URL] Whenever I compile my project (using FlashDevelop 3.3.4) I get an error from adl.exe saying "Error loading initial content". Using the iOS applicationpackager.bat, I get an error saying: application.xml: error 305: Intial window content SWF version 11 exceeds namespace version [URL]I'm using air 2.7 and Flex 4.5.1 on Windows XP.
I have (yet another...) TextField issue. I have an input textfield that is used both for capturing user input and displaying messages. It's around ten characters wide, single line and not resizable. I have a method that allows you to flash a brief message into the textfield for a couple of seconds before returning it to the state it was in:
ActionScript Code: public function flashDisplay(alert:String):void { tempText = textField.text;
[Code]....
Usually this works fine, but when the user types a long word into the textfield, the text scrolls left and the first letters of the word scroll out of view. This isn't a problem until you try to show an alert and the alert is also scrolled out of view at the beginning - even if it's a short word.
How can I reset the horizontal scroll that the user has created when updating textField.text?
I'm loading some product names into a textfield and I got few buttons with some of those product names on it.When a product button is clicked, how do I make the textfield scroll automatically and to display that particular item in a specified Y position?
I've been looking for a tutorial and answer to this for a while but can't find what I'm looking for. I am loading html text into a dynamic textfield, and I have a scrollbar controlling the scroll using the code below. What I want to do is also add scroll up/down buttons and have the scroll bar move in relation to the text scroll. I was just going to use "tracklistingtext.scrollV -- " for the scroll buttons, but right now the scroll bar doesn't recognize the text movement. What do I need to do to get the scroll bar to listen to the text scroll position?
var listTextreq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("tracklist.txt"); var listTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var bounds:Rectangle=new Rectangle(scrollMC.x,scrollMC.y,0,300);
We are building a flash website with cms at the back end, and we are allowing admin to put anchors inside a content. Later we created a smaller version of the whole content to display just a small part and then [read more] button. Which add a new layer on top of every thing acting like a popup and it is populated with complete content.
Now we would like to scroll that text inside popup to that portion which [read more] button was clicked.
The most common example inside HTMl is go to top link in footer on most of the sites which move the whole document to top.
I'm trying to create a slider/scroll bar similar to the one at this site: kurtnoble.com. If you'll notice, the scroll bar can "bounce" of its perimeters. I'm not very experienced with actionscript at all. so any guidance, help, etc.
My problem is that this scroll bar works great for static text. However when I have dynamic text and I intentionally put a lot of it in, the scroll bar stops based on the height of the text box and not necessarily the size of how much dynamic text I have. I think that it deals with one of these:
Within this movie clip, they also embed another layer which the content is actually loaded into. So the flow is the following:
pages_all -> action sc -> action content
So the content is in the last movie clip, but the code listed above is in the action sc movie clip. I'm just not sure how to edit this to get the dynamic content instead of a standard one.
I am creating a horizontal scrollbar for my website. The bar is to scroll through a selection of images. I initially created the vertical bar through Kirupas tutorial which was great but I want to create a horizontal one.
Here is the code: scrolling = function () { var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._width; var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._width; var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width; var maskWidth:Number = maskedView._width; [Code] .....

I am looking for information on how to create an image which lags somewhat behind the scroll on a webpage, very simliar to the candle at the bottom of this page: [URL].. If I only knew the name of this effect, I could search out a tutorial for it myself.
I am trying, this time, to create a scroll area text. Where after pressing a button, a text will be added to the textarea below the previous text. Although, dont know why, its not working.
i am using this code to add the text to the textarea and then trying to scroll down and add more text bellow the previous one. where m_text is the name of my text area.
I'm looking to create a horizontal version of the scroll bar shown here: [URL]The actionscript given on page 3 (click) of the tutorial is for vertical scrolling only. Could someone please post a horizontal version or explain how to adjust the code for horizontal scrolling?
I have been trying to create a animation with horizontal scroll to begin on mouseOver. There are a set of 8-10 swfs movie, which I am calling though a xml file into the main scroll movie clip. I would like to animate and call the swfs in such a way that they drop into the screen and stay on a 800px width movie screen, on mouseOver the horizontal scroll should begin.I have seen a lot of threads for the sroll, in all the threads the movie is scrolling and on MouseOver it stops.
