Help with OnClipEvent r.e. Fonts & Scroller

Please refer to:

www.jmrcreative.com/wmc/construction.html


At issue:

A) I want to be able to hover over the up/down buttons and scroll instead of clicking to scroll

B) I want to use a pixel font (i.e., kroeger) instead of arial


Present effects are achieved via this script:





onClipEvent (load){

daTextBox = "<FONT FACE=\"Arial\" SIZE=\"11\" COLOR=\"#FFFFFF\">TEXT GOES HERE</FONT></P>";
scrolling = 0;
frameCounter = 1;
speedFactor = 3;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame){

if( frameCounter % speedFactor == 0){

if( scrolling == "up" && daTextBox.scroll > 1){

daTextBox.scroll--;

}


else if( scrolling == "down" && daTextBox.scroll < daTextBox.maxscroll){

daTextBox.scroll++;

}

frameCounter = 0;
}

frameCounter++;
}



Much thanks!

I suppose you are setting the value of "scrolling" from the buttons?
In that case, in stead of using

code:

---

on(release)

---

the use of

code:

---

on(rollOver)

---

should do the trick.

If I thought wrong, let me know ;)

As to that font: been wondering about that myself :D

thanks bartsje, i'll try that change in the script (it was given to me by someone else, so I'm not intimately familiar with it)

As to the font, I know how to use pixel fonts "normally", but how to use it within this structure is another story.

Thanks!

then again bartsje, i don't see how your suggestion works

can you enter it into my script above and show me where that's supposed to go?

muchh thanks!

okay, i found it.

BUT (heh heh)

here's the script on the (down) button (with your suggested change):




on( rollover ){

scrolling = "down";
frameCounter = speedFactor;

}
on( release, releaseOutside ){

scrolling = 0;

}


That works fine, except it doesn't stop scrolling. When I pull the cursor away from the mouse, it keeps scrolling anyway.

any ideas???

Yup: replacing "(release, releaseOutside)" by (rollOut) should do the trick. Sorry mate, should have mentioned that ;)

And indeed it did.

Thanks!
