Professional :: ScrollPane - How To Call Up Contents
Mar 3, 2011
I'm trying to use a scrollbar in flash cs5. The problem is that I tried the ScrollPane, but I want to be able to contact the content in it. The way I have learned, ScrollPane just links to a moveclip in your library, and the content itself is never actually placed on the stage. So, how can I call up the content in my ScrollPane? I tried to give the ScrollPane the instance name "scroll" and refer to the content in it, like this:
scroll.content1.content
But since the content never is placed on stage I can't contact it.

I'm having trouble calling up the content in my scrollpane in a simple quiz application. I'm a graphic designer so I'm not real proficient with AS3 yet. I created a scrollpane object called Scroller1 and I'm trying to scroll a movie object called Movie1 inside the scrollpane. The code I used from the Adobe site calls up an external file, but I want to call up an internal movie so I changed the Scroller1.source = to the movie name, but it doesn't work.
[Code]...
Is there some other way I need to call this up? The movie is a contents list that has buttons to take you to various frames in the application and it's too long for one page.

import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
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 have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.

I've got some moveieClips in container in a scrollpane component.The movieClips are draggable.I'd like to add extra functionality where if an item is dragged and touches the bottom of the scrollpane, it automatically scrolls up, and the reverse if you touch the top with a dragged object.I tried the scrollDrag, but I only want it to scroll once the dragged item touches the bottom or top.So I wrote this and put it in the drag function:[code]....
It needs a bit of work, and I think I can get it working, but the one thing I'm stumped on is how to make the scrollbar move too.Is there a way to communicate with the component using code (I created this component from the component inspector)?

I'm using a scrollpane and when you release the mouse outside the flash area when scrolling it doesn't register the MOUSE_UP and gets stuck in its scrolling state. You then have to click inside the scrollpane to disable the scrolling. I'd like to use a MOUSE_LEAVE event to remove the focus from the scrollbar so this doesn't happen. What is the best way to disable the scrollbar when the user is outside the flash window?

...only if its a top tier movie clip. If the movie clip is embedded in a slide show, it doesn't work properly. It works only when I turn the scrollwheel and move the mouse in the same direction at the same time. Kinda strange, isn't it? Is there a fix?

I'm importing two swfs - one goes into a scrollpane called menuPagePane, the other just where it is.I get a "cannot access the property or method of a null oblject reference" - menuPagePane.addChild(loader); error.
If I only try to import one of either swfs, they work fine. If I take off the menuPagePane reference (so as to import it directly to the stage, not the scrollpane), the swfs load, but I get a second instance of the first one loading on top of the second one.

I was experimenting and finally got my "scrolling picture" test going. That is, a picture that can be scrolled around. I used the ScrollPane, also set the ScrollDrag to TRUE so you can drag the picture around, but no matter what I do, I can't get the Horizontal Scroll Bar, without the drag, people will no be able to scroll left to right and vise-versa. How can I include or make the Horizontal Scroll Bar to work / show? Also, is the a way to set the starting position of the picture ? For example, the initial display set to the center of the picture.

I'm more of a Flex than Flash developer so I'm hopeful this is something easy. Short story, I have a scrollpane in a flash-created swf. In my pure AS3 project I dynamically create menuitems within a new movieclip.

I want to make a MC that holds various Data such as textfields images maybe a video, ect just basic content, so i want to put that into a MC and be able to scroll it. But i cant figure out how to do this, no tutorials on the internet. And i dont want to use the UIScroller and Scrollpane components as they are highly unnatractive.. It is for a touch enabled device so maybe a gesture could be used? But im sure a Mouse Event would work,

I created a scrollpane in as3 and set its source to another object, which contains several rows of icons. The scrollbar in the scrollpane is getting the right length, which means the object was loaded as expected, but the contant is not showing correctly.
I created a Thumbnail class for this file to load and make each individual thumbnail. Here is my code, the red text is where each thumbnail is loaded:

I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.

I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..

I'm trying to understand 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've a container in a scrollpane with some vertically ordered movieclips in it (one on top of the other). I have another container of movieclips that I can drag into container 1. Once the new movieclip is dragged in, the other clips move to make space for it. Also, the clips in 1 can be dragged to a new position, and the other clips move up or down to accomodate the moved clip.
I did it using a lot of x and y positioning. It works, until I use the scroller. Then the positioning gets all screwy. My thinking now is to use arrays, but I'm wondeirng if it's possible when you're pushing an item into an array, to push it into a certain position in the array? So, push it into position 15 for example? How do you tell Flash to add an item to a certain array position?

Can a finished flash file be resized.
Stage is at 1684 x 1322 animated map operated by buttons in a static key located outside of map border, all on stage. Map also pans/zooms.
Two scenarios:-
1) resize stage and all contents down to a different size.
2) resize the animated map down but more so than the static key (sits outside the map) which should remain readable.

I have a large library that I am organizing of vector only files, some imported from Illustrator.
When I re-name some of the items other Movieclip items in the library lose their contents and all that is left is an empty symbol.
I repeated this several times and tried to find workarounds. Like duplicating the symbol. This worked for the one item but then it deleted another symbols contents.
