As far as I know, scrollbars have to be attached to a dynamic text box, but just make one, then type the text you want into it in exactly the same way you would with static text.

You can then...

the <a> tag is included in HTML 1.0, so you could include the link as dynamic text with the html option checked. Just set your dynamic text variable to include:

textVar = "<a...

yep. download the graphic, then file>importimport it into your flash movie.

sorry, I dont get what you mean - use what as a graphic ? Do you mean load an html page into your flash movie and use it as a graphic symbol ?

I'd really only use code for the job if the movement is variable - ie, you want some random movement or in response to events like mouse movement. If it's going to be the same move everytime the...

no problem - it's been a voyage of discovery for everyone, I think ! Check out the thread link above as it has evolved since my previous reply here.

neat fix, leason - I cant find the onTextChanged method anywhere in Flash help, but it certainly does the trick. Where did you find it ?

And if it's that simple, why isnt it the MM approved method...

If Wicken is on the main timeline, then you need to include the path _root.Wicken.gotoAndPlay(1) in your button code.

If it isnt, then I dont know without seeing the file, sorry.

I applaud...

:mad:

Unfortunately, there's a limitation to Sawchuck's work around: the scrollbar properties remain relevant to the dummy text and dont adapt to the dynamic text that replaces it at run time.

Check out Sawchuck's reply in this post - an immensely quicker work around. Not good practice, but gets the job done.

:cool:

Spent ages wondering where I had gone wrong with the simple & much vaunted drag & drop method. Found this in the MM technotes:...

Nope, just tried it for the first time and I cant get to work either. Ive tried it with fixed variables, variables loaded dynamically, variables with a following wind and astrologically aligned...

You can add link code to a Flash button, like :
on(release) {
getURL ("http://www.flashkit.com/", "_blank");
} which will open the link in a new browser window when the button is pressed. Or if...

You can use HTML 1.0 tags in a text box (remember to check the HTML option), but that's all. For the most part you can embed Flash into HTML, but not the other way round. You can use DHTML layers to...

Select the layer(s) including the folder layer then right click on the highlighted timeline; choose 'copy frames' from the menu (or ctrl+alt+c, sorry dont know the mac equivalent).

Then right...

I cant find any way to do it except go in to edit the symbol, select everything and move it relative to the small cross in the middle of the screen.

The reg point for transformations (rotation...

ok, changes in bold:

on (release) {
amount = 75;
yLimit = 275;
while (amount>0) {

setProperty("mc"+i, _x, random(275));
setProperty("mc"+i,...

Have you tried using math.floor instead of math.round ?

Had me puzzled for a while, but the difference is because of the new 'Compress Movie' publishing option in Flash MX.

Uncompressed, the movie is 331kb, but with compression it's 131kb and it seems...

_level3.id = _level2.id;

Hope this helps :)

Just apply the same scale changes to both _yscale and _xscale.

Generate your randomNumber, then set
movieClip._xscale = movieClip._yscale = randomNumber;

_xscale and _yscale are percentages...

erm.... no ! :confused:

email me the fla and I'll take a look.

Does the movie load anything dynamically at runtime like sound or images that's 200kb big ? No idea if this would be reflected in bytesTotal.

For help on '_root', '_parent' etc, check out the...
