Professional :: Scrolling Buttons On Stage?
Feb 1, 2011
Anyhow, I have a few buttons (six of them) to scroll from left to right non-stop via looping. Those buttons are in the up state. What I want to achieve is that when someone hovers over one of the buttons, the entire scrolling temporarily stops and perhaps the hovered button becomes larger as well. I'm sure you've seen something similar on ebay listings before shown as slideshows.
my Over buttons are managed via movie clips, but not the Up state buttons.

I have several layers of scrolling BGs via action script. In between these layers are a set of simple buttons made via "button" symbols. Within the stage, the buttons are recognized, however, when I test the movie, the buttons are not recognized/activated by the cursor. My guess is that the scrolling BGs that are on top of everything else (NOT added via "addChild" in a blank movie clip below all other layers) are somehow "blocking" my cursor from reading the simple buttons "below" them.
For the visual aspect of the project, the scrolling BGs are needed both "below" and "above" the buttons, so I need a work-around for simple button use in this multi-level scrolling BG environment. (just to clarify, by "above" and "below" I dont mean vertically above and below, but rather "layered" above and below, so as to "cover" eachother).

I just got the trial of Flash Cs5 and haven't used Flash since MX back in 04-06. Having an issue with buttons now in context of a scrolling text area. My code is set up as such:
[Code]....
Where up is the button to scroll upwards and down is...(you guessed it). Maintext is the movieclip in which my text is which each frame being the text "scrolled" further. My issue IS: This was working just fine UNTIL I added "Over", "Down", and "Hit" frames into my buttons (whereas previously they were just single frame arrows), and then when previewing my flash the cursor doesn't even recognize the buttons as such, and nothing happens if you click on either... If I got back and delete the over, down, and hit frames, BOOM, problem goes away. This seems very strange to me, I never had a problem like this in MX.

I am in the process of building a web site and am running into an issue with dynamic loading text.I am trying to make a scrolling news section with a stage of 200 W x 250 LCreated a movie clip with the following coding:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
Then set the clip (which is 250 W x 600 L) on the main stage, moving upwards, creating the auto scroll effect.The problem I am running into is that I can't figure out how to make the text use the whole width of the text box I created. It only uses half of the width, creating columbs like this:
Hello and
welcome
to our new
[code]...
The text box itself is at least twice the width of the sentences, but they aren't using the full width.

For my college project I've created buttons were when you roll over images they are enlarged. The problem I have is when I roll over the images, the one next to the one I want shows in front of the image that I'm scrolling over with the mouse. I want it so that the image being rolled over is in front. For example when the magazine article on the far left is enlarged it goes behind the logos next to it instead of in front so you can see clearly what's being scrolled.

I'm using Flash CS5's common library to put some buttons on the stage. I've gone into the classic buttons folder and dragged and dropped a blue oval button onto the stage, and it appears in the library, but the button looks totally different to the one in the library. Where the one in the library has shading and a glow effect, the one on stage looks flat, with just a primary colour and no shading or glow. This occurs whether I drag straight from the common library tab to the stage, or from the library panel on the right to the stage.

I have this slideshow type of thing I'm putting together with next and back buttons. Everything works fine until I add audio to the timeline and then all my nav buttons flake out. I don't want to load these files externally or from the library because they are voiceover narration with all my animation synced up with what is being said.

I have made a map which I have made scrollable across the stage using the keyboard arrow keys.
e.g:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(39)) {
_x=_x-4;
[Code]....
These on screen buttons allow the user to move the map every time they click however it would be more user friendly if these buttons continued to move the map on a hold down state until released or via rolling on/off.

Has anyone got an example of scrolling images as buttons. I been trying to use scrolling images as buttons to access pages on the main timeline but haven't got it to work one bit, plus a lot of the tuts I find aren't for AS3.

An external swf is loaded using this code...
[Code]...
The problem is that even though this external movie covers the whole stage, My mouse can still "see" buttons that are on the stage, and I can click them. I don't want to be able to click the buttons through my external movie.

So below is my code for a project I'm working on. I'm having some trouble though. I got the code for the scrolling menus online from another forum, but I can't figure out where that was. In any case, the current version of the code allows for the scrolling to happen when I open the page displays (enter Frame). But I can't figure out how to get the scrolling to happen only when I hover over the menu. I only want each one to scroll when I hover over the menu, not when I get on the page. I tried to replace the "enterFrame" part of the code, but it didn't work right. I need this done ASAP.

I have a HBox and I dynamically add Buttons into it. I want to distribute such buttons horizontally, however I would like to place there on more rows if there is not anymore horizontal space, instead of seeing the scrolling bar.How can I do that ?
<mx:HBox id="tagsPopup" visible="false" horizontalAlign="center" width="100">
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag1" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag2" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag3" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag4" />
</mx:HBox>

I am creating a vertical scrolling gallery with two buttons but I would like to make it looping, so when you get to the last photo and you press the "forward" button it jumps to the first image. I have gotten this done, but it's now stopped to the last image and you have to scroll back to get to the first image..[code]

I have a group of buttons that are grouped together and animated to move continuously across a MC. This SWF gets dynamically loaded into my main movie. Now, I want to be able to click on the buttons in the loaded SWF, and have the button click cause another SWF to be loaded into a different empty MC.

stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, MouseWheel, false, 0, true);
function MouseWheel (e:MouseEvent) {
if (e.delta > 0) {[code]..........
What I want to do is simply to disallow scrolling when the top or bottom end of testMC hits the top/bottom of the stage. What occurs right now is that I can basically scroll completely off the stage and it doesn't stop.

I have a dynamic text field and have two buttons. All I want the buttons to do is to scroll up or down a couple lines everytime its clicked. AS2 had something like this:
body_txt.scroll += 1;

I have a situation where i have a horizontal scrolling container that has a video object inside it. the video object has to stay inside the scrolling content for another reason i don't want to get into here. Now the client wants me to keep the video in the center of the stage even when the clip its inside of is scrolling. Normally I would just take it out of the scrolling clip and place it above the scrolling content but i cant do that here. I tried this math but it didn't work exactly. on an enter frame when the video is open I have this code;
Actionscript Code:
if( vid ) vid = ( stage.stageWidth/2 - vid.width/2) - scrollingContainer.x;

I am trying to achieve this result. [URL]. Its a really nice effect. I have this code:
function accelScroller(myTarget) {
myMiddle = Stage.width/2;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
moveDist = myMiddle-_root._xmouse;
myTarget._x += moveDist/20;
} accelScroller(imgBar);
I have a movie clip with all my images, this code allows me to go either right or left and decrease the speed either if i go to the right or left. But I want the the scrolling effect to stop when it reaches the end, either left or right side. How do I do that? You can download the fla file here [URL]

I have a graphical component and I am trying to obtain it's coordinates relative to the stage by using the localToGlobal or contentToGlobal methods.
My problem is when scrolling a Container, these methods do not return the correct values, but return the old unshifted coordinates of the graphical component. Later, after everything seems stable, when trying to use the methods they return correct value so this means at the time where I use them after scrolling not all information necessary in computing have been commited.
For the case of the Container class I have investigated and although it passes through the scrollChildren method, the computation is wrong.For the case of the Tree component when scrolling with the wheel, the methods return correct value, but when pressing the arrow button of the scroll-bar the methods return incorrect value.
Until now I have tried to listen the scroll and the update complete events when they are dispatched but without any success. So my problem is that after scrolling I would need to know a moment(event to be listened or something else) that I can call the methods and the output to be ok.I would like the final solution to be uniform.

What is the best way to create buttons to give content a scrolling function.The functionality is provided by ScrollPane, where content, images etc. can be used and scrolled but aesthetically buttons are preferred.There is actionscript for creating scrollable text fields with buttons, but it requires constant clicking and only applies to text. Just mentioning this if there is something similar to attain the functionality of ScrollPane for content.

Intro:I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline: Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"][also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science.

I want to do a vertical scrolling movie clip with easing with buttons. No scroll bar. I have attached a sample I have done just using _y properties. Ideally I want it to ease to the right position instead of jumping to it.
