[COLOR=Purple][FONT=Tahoma]Problem: Seems that I cannot edit specific text in a single text field so I thought I have to break them down to different text fields. Now, I want them to be scrollable, all of them as if they are in one text field. I can just make multiple .swf files and load them to a stage, perhaps, but I’d prefer it to be just one scene if possible.
I did a couple of things that tutorials suggested, but I’m thinking I may have misinterpreted the whole thing. So here’s what I did and I hope you guys can point out what I did wrong, (There’s a lot!) and perhaps present a solution to my problem.
(1)
I’ve Tried: writing them all down in different text fields then converting them into one movie symbol; then used a UIscrollbar.
Problem With It: Doesn’t work. The whole text is visible still and the scroll bar wont work. I tried changing the size of the movie clip but it only scaled down the size of the text. I thought, “Hey! It fit!” But it’s not the font size I want it to be anymore.
(2)
Ive Tried: Creating an image of the text then planned to place it in a scroll pane.
Problem With It: I have very little knowledge in using a scroll pane, and it seems most of the tutorials I’ve seen either uses one that uses Actionscript 2.0 (I’m using Actionscript 3.0), or is very vague. A tutorial that doesn’t seem to want to teach me at all.
Possible Solutions:
(1)
Perhaps a way to edit a single text in a text field. Meaning, having one word bold while the rest remain normal or something like that. That way, I can make it scrollable.
(2)
How do you turn multiple text fields into one scrollable symbol? Or is it possible? I’m guessing it is, but I’m doing it wrong. I’d greatly appreciate it if you present a code, you’d explain to me why the code is so. It won’t be a wasted effort, I guarantee, I can learn fast. (I’ll be asking questions when I don’t understand.)
(3)
A more dumbed-down guide to using Scroll Pane. I get the whole concept of it, but can’t seem to pull it off. I’m guessing it’s because I may have missed important parts shown in tutorials but it seems that the tutorials are made for those people who doesn’t need further explanations… unfortunately, I need it.
There may even be a more simple solutions to my problem, and if you know it, please don’t hesitate to share your knowledge.
Thanks!
