I’m trying to create a dynamic text box with a custom scrollbar. I tried tweaking the code from the kirupa tutorial for scrollbars here:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm
Right now I have a textbox, scrolltrack, and a scrollbox with this code:
loadVariables(“filltext.txt”, this);
scrolling = function () {
var scrollht:Number = scrolltrack._height;
var boxht:Number = scrollbox._height;
var scrollarea:Number = scrollht-boxht;
var ms:Number = textfill.maxscroll;
var scale:Number = scrollarea/(ms-1);
var initpos:Number = scrollbox._y=_root.textbox.scrolltrack._y;
var left:Number = scrolltrack._x;
var top:Number = scrolltrack._y;
var right:Number = scrolltrack._x;
var bottom:Number = (scrolltrack._y+(scrollht-boxht));
var ymove:Number = 0;
scrollbox.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
ymove = Math.abs(initpos-this._y);
textfill.scroll = textfill.scroll+(Math.round((-(ymove))/scale));
};
scrollbox.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};
};
if (ms==1) {
scrollbox._visible = false;
scrolltrack._visible = false;
} else {
scrollbox._visible = true;
scrolltrack._visible = true;
}
};
scrolling();
I’ll also attach the .fla and .txt files. Please help. Thanks.
