For anyone out there, a quick AS/JS syntax question:
If you paste text into a variable value, AND within that body text, there are parentheses, would that throw off the syntax of the setVariable command? Or any command for that matter?
Any thoughts???

I think I know
Try this...Take the / and expression off the tell target.
I know I had that problem with the tell target.
on (press) {
tellTarget (ScrollUp) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
on (release) {
tellTarget (ScrollUp) {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}
Let me know if it works then..

Hey Loser,
Yeah, that solved my target problem with the buttons, it's gotta be something that i suggested previously with the formatting of the text i'm trying to scroll. I no longer get errors with a telltarget not being found, it's a problem with the actions not working that actually scroll the text variable.
Right now i'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to remove the parentheses from the text description and troubleshoot that problem. It would be extremely beneficial if anyone has an answer to my question posted earlier about parentheses confusing the syntax of AS commands.
Thanks
Dean

try this
For removing the parentheses check the expressior box
I have use this on a sample homepage I am trying to build and it works great. I just left out the scroll bar. Pay close attention to step 2b (Set Variable: "scrolltext" = your text goes here) This is used in place of external .TXT file

This is my sample page using the scroller just click on the About us file.....to see it work its even in a draggable box. http://members.tripod.com/loser314/homepage3.htm
I hope that this tute helps..

Loser,
That's the exact tutorial that got me started in this mess!!
Any idea where I'm going wrong now??

if there was a way
If there was a way to look at your fla I might be able to help. I had a hard time getting this to work myself.
I have been messing with mine to duplicate your problem but if all the AS are the same as mine I can't get it to do it.

ok here
I might have it...
In your scrollup and scrolldown mc make sure the AS is exactly like this..
currentScroll = ../:scrolltext.scroll;
max = ../:scrolltext.maxscroll;
if (currentScroll>1) {
../:scrolltext.scroll = currentScroll-1;
}
It might be the ../: missing from script..when I took it out of mine the scroll buttons didn't work for me.
Also make sure the expression boxes are checked for these 3 values in both scripts.I know in his tute he had them unchecked.
../:scrolltext.scroll;
../:scrolltext.maxscroll;
../:scrolltext.scroll = currentScroll-1;
Let me know.
I'm trying here
Man I hope this works.....

This is my script for the scroll down mc.
currentScroll = ../:scrolltext.scroll;
max = ../:scrolltext.maxscroll;
if (currentScroll < max) {
../:scrolltext.scroll = currentScroll + 1;
}
As you'll see, i have my paths referring one step back like you suggested and have them as expressions, still with no luck. Take a look at the script i've provided, maybe there's something I'm missing?
Also, you asked if you can see my .fla, i have no problem with that with the exception of our FTP server being down. I can ICQ you if you want. Lemme know

why not? what's it givin ya for an error?
christ, now I'M playing troubleshooter on my own thread!!!
-
The page cannot be displayed
Shoot I know how you feel man....
Stupid question here....Now don't get mad but are you sure you have enough text in the scrolltext value to over fill the box....I just can't figure this out.
-
good question, and yes. i've deliberately make the text field area around 1/2 of the total height of the body text.
can you reach the page if you remove the last subfolder?
-
nope
I don't have icq either....man this sux
-
I'm gonna quote spaceballs right now, don't take it personally
"I'm surrounded by a$$holes!! All a$$holes!! How many a$$holes are on this ship!?!?!"
i wonder if this ftp is internal only. i hate IT stuff!!!
-
LOL
Good movie..might be IT. I have tried to remove every sub folder step by step....Maybe it's my piece of $h!t puter..
-
our sys admin is so anal about security, it might be unreachable except from this network
-
um....try this. you need an FTP explorer program for FTP access prolly
