I really need some specific and direct help with being able to scale and center the window that holds my website, as a whole.
There is one perfect example, @ _[http://flashtracking.com/calvin/default.asp?aid=](http://flashtracking.com/calvin/default.asp?aid=)_
which creates a window that pops up that is centered and in the very middle of the computer screen.
If there is a tutorial or specific directions in helping with this, I’d really appreciate it…as I am a beginner with all of this within Flash and using ActionScript.
If anyone can help with applying the sound and the sound bar/selection buttons on the referred site, that would be wonderful as well. Thanks so much.
Thanks so very much!
and God Bless you 🙂

well, it isn’t really javascript.
to horizontally center the flash, just use \

no its done with javascript
just view his source. theres the html page, and theres a file called popups.js with the script in it.
(copying it is stealing; reading it and making your own with the help of other sources is not)
textfields have a .scrollposition property. you can increase or decrease it on button press.
i find this is an excellent resource.

Heh thnx dude! I’ve used it in my website. Really nice. Since the scrollbar component was removed out of flash mx 2004 I made all my pages by loading different .txt files in a text box. With this I can load one text file in a textbox and just scroll through it.
BTW Is there a possibility to make a slider with that? So you can directly scroll down to the section you want in stead of pressing the scroll button a couple of times?
