Can you tell me if this works?

[Scarface1856]

I am having an issue with my scrolling text... It seems as though the bottom half of the scrollbox and handle are locked...Is that what you see? If so, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Here it is and thanks

got a tight deadline, so this would really help!!!

thanks

Everything seems to be working fine here!

In case...

PIV - ME - IE5.5 - CABLE CONNECTION

you are always the super help....

what I am seeing is at this line

"with Jim Callahan recording and mixing their first album, Mountain"

that line and all lines above are selectable, and scrollable...below that line the scrollbar will not go down and the rest of the text is not selectable.

It previews fine in flash, not ok in golive, not ok in IE 6.0

maybe I messed up the scrollable area, orsince it works, what is incompatable on my end?

thanks again....I'd just hate to upload the whole site and have others experience this issue.

so oddly enough it previews for me too... It must just be my computer.....thanks.

but if you are reading this, I have two minor questions....

one, do you know of a tutorial that shows how to set up a few buttons, each of which can load text into that very same textbox while unloading the one txt file that is in it (IE swapping)? Or just a script to add to the buttons?? And is there a simple script to add to this code to give it html functionality?

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("biography.txt");
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.biographytext;
};



thanks so much

Why is that text selectable anyways? Do you need it to be?

Am I glad I'm still on IE5.5... So many problems reported with 6!

You don't need to unload a previous text file if you load a new one in the same textfield, it'll replace it automatically...

Don't know of any specific tutorials, but did do this example when
MX came out (some 18 months ago!)... Might help!

I will dive into that...thanks a bunch as always

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("biography.txt");
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.biographytext;
};

try this instead...

loadText = new loadVars();
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
    scroller.text = this.biographytext;
};

loadText.load("biography.txt");
