Editable Scrollpane

programming flash
1

Hi
I want to have a editable scrollpane that I can use over and over that let me change the skin in each project.
Here are the options I think I have:
Build a scrollpane from scratch?
Find a custom scrollpane that some one made already with easy to customize feature to edit the skin?
or Edit the default scrollpane that comes with Flash MX? wich I tried alrerady and I couldn’t get it to work.
What do you guys think is the way to go?

Thanks
Alex

www.macromedia.com has a few things on skinning/customizing components, try using their search and look for “skinning components” and you should find it :slight_smile:

you can either edit it in the library, or use actionscript. if you edit it in the library it applies to all the components you put in your movie, but im not sure about the library.

Replodehow can I edit it by actionscript?

first, create a new layer over your main layer. then select a keyframe and insert this code:

[AS]globalStyleFormat.textColor = 0xD0D0D0;
globalStyleFormat.arrow = 0xD0D0D0;
globalStyleFormat.face = 0x006699;
globalStyleFormat.shadow = 0x003366;
globalStyleFormat.darkshadow = 0x000033;
globalStyleFormat.highlight = 0x0099BB;
globalStyleFormat.highlight3D = 0x00BBEE;
globalStyleFormat.scrollTrack = 0x003366;
globalStyleFormat.background = 0x006699;
globalStyleFormat.applyChanges(); [/AS]

just change the html color code AFTER the 0x. dont delete the 0x, or the code wont work. this code applies to all components you put in your movie. if you dont want it to apply to something, then just delete that line of code.
