I’ve searched the net, and these forums and only found 1 other person with my problem, but alas, there were no reply’s to his thread.
I’m having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to.
An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found here: http://www.cryhavocguild.com/actionscriptHelp.php
I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable.
As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
I used the Kirupa scrollbar tutorial here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._y=scrollTrack._y;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._y;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var top:Number = scrollTrack._y;
var right:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrack._height-scrollFaceHeight+scrollTrack._y;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFaceHeight);
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._y;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);
contentMain._y = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
};
};
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
};
btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._y+speed<maskedView._y) {
if (scrollFace._y<=top) {
scrollFace._y = top;
} else {
scrollFace._y -= speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._y += speed;
} else {
scrollFace._y = top;
contentMain._y = maskedView._y;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnUp.onRollOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (contentMain._y-speed>finalContentPos) {
if (scrollFace._y>=bottom) {
scrollFace._y = bottom;
} else {
scrollFace._y += speed/moveVal;
}
contentMain._y -= speed;
} else {
scrollFace._y = bottom;
contentMain._y = finalContentPos;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
btnDown.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
btnDown.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;
}
};
scrolling();
Any help would be most appreciated.
