Hey,

I am having trouble with the scrollbar component. I have a dynamic textbox that I simply typed all the text in and then resized it approprietly. I attached the scrollbar correctly and all...

Could it be something as simple as targeting?

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

That will get your root frame advanced.

Your publish settings are also set to Flash 5, when you have script in this movie...

I found Flashkit through Colin Moock's book "Actionscript, the Definitive Guide." (Great book by the way.)

I found that there really is nothing that even compares to Flashkit on all levels. ...

I decided to send another .fla that demonstrates what I was referring to.

This fla has a mainMC that holds the content you will be moving.

It also has three buttons that are not inside of that...

Hey again,

Flash does not have anchor tags like HTML. One way you can tackle this is by placing everything into a MC (movie clip) and then having the button tell the MC to move. You would then...

Hey,

I never read your other thread, so I don't really understand what you are trying to do. If you are trying to get a MC to move by pressing a button it is easy, but I made a .fla for you for...

to target the y position you need to have an underscore:

like so:



on (release) {
_root.info._y = 500;
}

Here is a fla demonstrating a very basic way to handle this.

(To customize, simply highlight the instance of the button and change the values for userID and password.)

This is not a very secure...

Flash 5 document as well, just in case.....

I hope I understand what you are asking for.....
You want the dynamic text to update while your movie is in progress right?

One way to have dynamic text fields update is by updating your...

Thanks for your reply. I had not even considered doing that. I guess sometimes you get so fixated on making something work one way, you don't consider others. That is certainly an option for me to...

I need to scroll content that has a visibly larger area than the scrollPane or scrollBar.

When I try to use a scrollPane (as far as I can see) the height has to be the same size as the viewable...

I have a movie that loads .jpg files into a scrollPane component. I want to have a preloader for the jpg files as they are loading, but I can not determine how to get the "bytesLoaded" or...

Could it be something as simple as the processing speed?

If you have a lot going on in your movie, it will slow down playback if your computer can not process it fast enough. (Even if you have...

Is my question unclear? Can anyone give me any kind of answers, even just that it is not possible?
Seems like a very simple thing Flash should be able to do. Thanks again for any help.
:confused:

Hello fellow Flashers,

I have a movie that loads .jpg files into a scrollPane component. I want to have a preloader for the jpg files as they are loading, but I can not determine how to get the...

I got it working, but I actually found a more simple approach than what I had imagined previously. (I just used multiple MCs and loaded each text file into a different MC using loadVariables _NOT_...

Sorry, I see now that you said:
it the load file the name of the var is "hits=000001"

Ok, this should be fine.
Will upload a fla as soon as I can.

You said:

You have it backwards, it should be:
_root.count1 = count;
*and if you put "quotes" around anything, it thinks it is a string, not a variable. (A string is a phrase or any combination...

That is exactly what my first code does.


onClipEvent(enterFrame){
loadVariables("counter.txt",this);
_root.count1 = count;
}

onClipEvent(data){
gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);

Regarding the array: Forget the array, you don't NEED an array, it would just make things more organised and easier to use.

Regarding _root: The _root.variable is a very simple idea once you...

The name of your text file is irrelevant once Flash opens it and retrieves the variables. Your variables will be stored as they are names within the text files. Example: "folder1/Counter.txt"...

You treat the variables that have been loaded as you would any variable depending on what you want to do with it. The variables are loaded into the main timeline, so I would recommend referring to...

You can send variables to your flash movie from your HTML page without using PHP. When writting your HTML to embed your movie refer to the file like this:

I had a problem using gotoAndPlay("frameLabel"); with frames that had a stop(); action in the timeline. It would advance to the desired frame, continue one frame past the desired frame with the stop...
