As you can see, the green bar (set at 100% height) is just using the height of the viewport, not that of it's parent group, that is stretched by the red one to be 500px high.
I am having a little difficulty properly sizing a Scroller component in Adobe Flex/Flash 4. As soon as I add an element to the 'widgetsGroup' VGroup, the scroller's height property resizes to match that of its parent border container, even though the content height of the vGroup may be significantly less than this value. This is a problem because the scroller then 'covers' other elements in the border container. I guess what I am looking for is the scroller height to match the widgetGroup content height until this height exceeds the bordercontainer height, at which point the scroll bar would become visible.
I am going to embed a Flex app on an html page. The html page is already going to have a scroll bar to scroll up and down. The contents of the flex app are very dynamic, and I don't want to have an extra scroll bar when there is already one. So is there a way to make the height of the swf match the height of the contents of the swf?
I am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.
The zoom just works fine by changing the value from 1 up to 3 with a slider. Midpoint of the zoom is the center of the container (map).My problem: when i zoom, the scroller cuts a part of the groups. it zooms out of the window?!
which is set to 100% width. The DataGroup is also set to 100% width. What I want to achieve is for the scroller's vertical scrollbar to OVERLAP the DataGrid. In other words I want the DataGroup to maintain the width of the outer VGroup even when the vertical scrollbar is displayed. I don't need the vertical scrollbar to move my content to the left, i want it to be displayed in top of that.
I have an mx:TextArea and I want its height to be the same as its content height. There is nothing fancy - just a text area and text that is not editable. I need a simple and reliable way to make the control fit and show all the text without vertical scroll - something like auto resizing. Also my control's text will be set only once and will not change as it will not be editable.
There is one more post here on the same topic but it is not relevant to me because the setup there is a lot more complicated as it includes styling and binding.
I made a scrollbar class that works pretty well. I'm trying to come up with an idea for how to set to the height of the scrollbar vs the height of the scrolling content. This is a standard thing that happen in the OS. Seems there should be a minimum number and the maximum value should be reached as the size of the content approaches the size of the visible area.
I have a Flex Spark List (well it's a Tree to be precise but it renders as a list) and as I'm scrolling through it I want to provide information about the item that is currently at the top of the list in context to the viewport. So this could be the 100th item in the list depending on how far you've scrolled down.
I have data ItemRenderers with DataGroup, but I have many items, and it seems to me that DataGroup create all of them not only those few displayed on users screen, which takes time and resources.
I have a textField with a lot of stuff in it, so I'm creating a scroller using a mask. To do the math to make the scroller work right, I need the height of the textField. But the stuff in it is retrieved from XML and the length of it varies when it is updated, which is quite often. Is there a way I can find the height of just the text in the textField?
I'm trying to find a way to do a scroller that scrolls only 'till the targets bottom reaches the Stage.height.I tried to attach some images explaining but :

The movie clip is a scroller which I download a while back (I can't remember where from now) The contents of the scroller which i want to scroll is a seperate movie clip which loads it's contents from a .txt file. The problems I am having are:
1 - I cannot seem to change the height of the text box movie, I can change it in flash, but when i publish and play it just appears at a set size.
2 - the last link in the contents jumps like crazy when I hoover over it.
3 - when there is less content than the size of the text box I would like the scroller to disapear.
4 - If I add a mask around the text box, the contents disapear, i have in place a custom mask for the mean time but this will have to go.
I created a project w/a dynamic html scroll box on one page/spot on timeline. I want to use the same scroll box, but have it call a different .htm file for different content at a different part of my timeline.My problem is the file naming. I tried to just copy the entire scroller project I made and append a "_2" to all the file names, so that they wouldn't interfere with my original scroller in my main project, but that didn't work out.Is there anyway to duplicate the original scroller within my project and just have it call a different file?
I have spent the last 2 weeks searching the web for a tutorial on content scrolling. I have a movieclip/graphic that I want to scroll from left to right on the stage. Example of what I am trying to do: [URL] but without the vertical scroll. There seems to be a couple of AS2 tutorials around I doing it in AS3.
I was able to get the links working as they should but i can find no way to get the hover effect (not even the doopingTextArea class) I have content coming in through XML (a list of words and link)... I'm trying to create a menu where when you rollover the word the entire background area of that menu item changes color. Just like a CSS menu that creates a hover state that fills the entire background area of that item. Since the content is dynamic, it would need to have a scrollbar that expands/contracts etc.
Can someone point me in the right direction to making a functional Smooth Dynamic Scroller just like [URL] (Under Portfolio). I'm not saying "The Same" - I mean like, be able to have two icons that I create (One Up and One Down) then have them function the same as the 2Advanced website. Click and hold, it smoothly rolls down/up, release it stops. Also for it to only scroll as far as the content does.
I have one very large movieclip, and I'd like to create a very smooth (eased), tween, that moves it around the stage, on mouse move. so far, I've read the "get mouse direction" article, and that's helped a lot. and I'm calculating the distance the mouse is moving.. and that's all good and dandy,.. but I'm having a little trouble converting that into a smooth scroll.. I'd like to use tweenmax preferably, and not an on enterframe.
Trying to make a custom scroller which works but the odd thing is that when i drag the scroller to the bottom, the content scrolls the opposite way. So when the scroller is at its start point,the content is at its end point and when i scroll it to the end point the content reverses to the start point. Here is what I'm using
Code: var scrollLower:Number = -92; var scrollUpper:Number = 39; var textLower:Number = -92;[code]....
I've tried for hours and days to make my vertical text content scroller working in a flash fake 3d environment with rotationX / Y. But because of vector>bitmap conversion when 3d roationing, the scroller fails to works. I know the stratDrag method fails to work in a 3d environment. other than using PV3D or so ? cause I don't know how to work with PV3D, it's just tooooo complicated to get it for me.
I am creating a site in flash that is reading in entries from a database. I want the swf to expand downward on the html page so the user can use the browser scroll bars to see all the content. I don't want to paginate everything into a 800 px high swf or something - I want the page to expand just like it would if it were html
I want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?
By default the height of an Flex Accordion container is the height of the initially selected child. I'd like to be able to set the height to the tallest child so that no resizing or scrolling is necessary when other children are selected. I do not want to use the resizeToContent property. I want the size of the container to stay constant no matter what child is selected.
My current thought is to extend the accordion class setting the creation policy to "all" and then override the measure function to loop through all the children and find the tallest one and use that for the height. This seems a little kludgy though, so I'd like to know if there is a better approach. Ultimately my question is: is there a way to set the size of an accordion container such that the container never resizes and scoll bars are never necessary to display any of the children?
I have the following sample code and I'm not quite sure where I'm missing the mark[code]...
Am I just calling the wrong attribute? The over all goal is to find out the size of the SWF that just got loaded and to match it to the size of another MovieClip elsewhere in the code.
