Is there any simple way to scroll a dynamic textbox with easing, without having i scrollbar visible? perhaps something that scrolls when mouseover? Every tutorial i found is with a scrollbar, and still i come across the kind of scroll that doesn't have a scrollbar!

does anybody know how to include a scrollbar in a textbox?
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip button with a text box within it. The text box also has a scrollbar component attached. Since the movie clip button has roll-over functionality [ btn.onRollover = function() ], I believe that's taking precedence over the inner scrollbar. I guess this goes back to the common problem of a button inside of a button.
View 8 RepliesIs it possible to create a textbox with a scrollbar that can contain both text and images? Maybe some sort of ActionScript that has to do with loading external files that contains both text and images? But I presume that if it's going into a textbox, it'd have to be text.. I'd like my content in a textbox though (rather than in a movieclip) so it could be scrollable.
what I'd do is create my page in Fireworks with the text and images. So that way I can assign hyperlinks on keywords. Then the file would be saved as either PNG or HTML. Either way, could Flash import such files into a textbox and still preserve the hyperlinks?
I'm creating a custom scroll bar in flash, I'm following a tutorial for how to code it in I believe AS2. However there are some differences between the outcome I want and the tutorial I'm viewing. What I wished to create was a dynamic text field which relates to a text file outside of flash. The problem I'm having is that in order for my scroll bar to work it needs a set distance to work the percentages out that make it work e.g. if I move the bar down 50% the content would of moved up 50%. Because my field is dynamic it can be any size depending on the content. Any code that can get or measure the Y size, then use that calculated size as a variable to control the percentages of the scroller.
So far I have a few variables that have allowed me to create my scrollbar and restrict it's movement. The problem is that my scrollpane isn't moving, the script I have to get the scroll pane's highest Y co-ordinate is:
var scrollpaneUpper:Number = getProperty(Scrollpane,_height)/-1
So that whatever the height of Y is when the dynamic text is entered the variable will get it and divide by -1 so it's a negative figure that will lift the text field not lower it. The problem is it's not moving with my scrollbar or at all and I'm sure the rest of the code is right. I've got everything moving but the scrollpane isn't picking up the updated data from the dynamic text box. Instead it is taking the original value from the height of the text box which was 25 and is moving it that far, which means lots get's cut off. Is there a way I can update the data entry so it's not 25, it's as large as the text box is autoSized to?

View 1 RepliesI have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.
I have a scrollbar that scrolls left or right when the cursor is moved either side of the central x coordinate. I've been trying to change it so the scroll only activates when the cursor is towards the far right hand side (ie x>75%) or towards the far left hand side (x<25%) of the scrollbar, leaving the central 50% of the scrollbar inactive.
Code:
function scrolling() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
container_mc._x += Math.cos(((mask_mc._xmouse)/mask_mc._width)*Math.PI)*15;

View 1 Repliesi have a bunch of variables loaded into a movie clip and taken the data and created a comment post / shout box the problem im having is i cant find anything on scrolling an mc using the uisrollbar everything i have found has been with custom scrollbars and scrollbar classes.Url..In the first example it is the data loaded and placed into a MC and the second example i have tried to load that MC into a scrollpane but it doesnt scroll right.As you can see its scrolling right past all the post into blank area when it shout stop at the last post. The other problem is if there is more then 8 entries into the databse it wont even scroll to the last few entries....so obviously its not recognizing the hight of the MC properly maybe i need to force it some how but i dont know.I have tried a masking scroll but i cant seem to get the scrollbar conected to the MC to scroll it.some sample code or perhaps a good tutorial on using the uiscrollbar with a mask scroll.One last thing i shout ask is should i be using variables or XML passed from php to acomplish this entry viewer?

View 1 RepliesI'm wanting to make a vertical scrollbox (say, 150 px wide by 500 px high with a scrollbar) and where the content is defined by an XML file. The catch... I'd like each name in the list to become a button (or otherwise clickable) that opens a swf (also specified in the XML file). I have succeeded in making a static list where each "name button" was created manually... but I'm realizing my list is going to be hundreds of names and I'm thinking there must be a way to achieve this with XML. Here is the current version:

I am making a scroll bar but it doesn't scroll as far as it should. I triple checked all my math but I can't find anything wrong. Probably the code of interest is on the movie clip content0 within the instance whole. This is what actually controlls the scrolling. Most of the other script dictates how the sliders work so you can ignore that, they work fine. Scroll index is a number between 0 and 1 indicating how far down the bar the slider is, 0 it hasnt moved, 1 it is at the bottom. That works as well. So i am not sure why this doesnt work.
View 5 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash and have developed this application using AS3.0.I have a screen which lists file descriptions. The file descriptions are in a movie clip and the movie clip is added to the stage in a scroll panel (instance name aSp). This part I have working fine.The file descriptions movie clip is called AbstractDisplay and it is basically a textarea. When the file description exceeds the size of my box, scroll arrows appear. Again this is what I want.Now to the part I can't get to work. I want to be able to click on the movie clips that are in my aSp Scroll Pane. If I make the individual movie clips that I put in my scroll pane clickable, I lose the ability to scroll the text in the individual movie clips. Here is the code that I have so far. This code is within a loop and I'm only showing the code that sets up the movie clip.
// Setup abstract to place in abstractContainer
mcMain = new AbstractDisplay;// Get new instance of AbstractDisplay
mcMain.name = "a" + i;// Set instance name

scroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.

View 2 RepliesI'm currently learning Flex, and am having the hardest time getting scroll bars to work. In short, I'm making a giant form for users to fill out, contained within a viewstack component. The user will type up information in one view, and it will be displayed in the other. But right now in the first canvas I have components that run off the screen and flex doesn't automatically add a scroll bar, so I added 'verticalScrollPolicy="on"' to my canvas. Now, while it gives me a scroll bar, it gives me an empty scroll bar. I still cannot move it up or down, meaning components are still trapped off the bottom of my screen. Am I missing something simpleEdit - I'm using Adobe Flex Builder 3, and the components it lets you drag in. http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/218/problem1f.jpg This is a picture of the problem, and i guess relavent code would be.

View 2 RepliesMainly been making websites all these years, but in my last year at school i started to get interested in Flash Actionscript. I've been at home for over a year in 2008, unemployed. I got back to school in September 2008 but quit the education as it wasn't for me. Now I'm looking to get a job, but I need a showcase, so I'm building my portfolio at the moment.
I'm currently working on my portfolio which i wanted to make in Flash using XML generated content. I got as far as getting the content generated in my prototype. Now I'm trying to build the real thing. I currently got a scrollbar on the left which contains the thumbnails. I used the custom scrollbar from [URL] ([URL]). The content in it is generated with xml and actionscript though.

I've found plenty of scripts for scrollbars that move a movie clip up and down within a mask. However, what I'm trying to do is create a scrollbar that changes the "scroll" attribute for an XML textbox. I already have it set up to work with scroll arrows. Here is the code I'm using below:
Code:
scrollArrows.downBtn.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
EquipText.scroll++;
[code]...
So I've got the arrows working fine, but I'm still missing a scrollbar to go in between them.
