Dynamic Text & Scrollbar

programming flash
1

If I load a dynamic text field by setting the variable for the field equal to the text, the scrollbar on that field doens’t work. How do I set the scrollbar to scroll the right amount to fill the amount of dynamically loaded text?

There is a Flash MX tutorial on scrolling dynamically loaded text on www.kirupa.com :slight_smile:

Can Flash MX render a dynamic text as HTML? I’ve done this experiment but it returns me a HTML tags, shows on the text field.

4

Try:

TextFieldInstanceName.html = true
5

well…I tried this up, but the html tag still there, unlike flash 5, no html tags shows when I want the text file render a text as html.

Can i have a look at ur fla?

ok no problem.

the fla code is like below:

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“help.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function(){
scroller.text = this.help;
};

Try this instead:

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(){
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.help;
};
loadText.load("help.txt");
