Hi there,
I’m new to this forum, but not to the site…
I have a limited understanding of actionscript, but can usually get it to do kind of what I like and copy and paste elements etc…
so what’s happening is this:
I have a Flash 8 movie that loads little submovies with content into a MC called container. On every submovie, I have to load scrolling text in different places on the timeline. I have about 5 sections on each submovie that the timeline jumps to, when you click on nav buttons within the submovie frame in the container flash. So I figured out how to do scrolling text with both the UI component and alternatively, with programmed buttons with this code:
on(release, press, keyPress “<Down>”){
TOGI_txt.scroll +=1;
}
and of course the opposite for the up button
so when I go to test the movie, the text disappears and the scroller turns white, or just doesn’t work.
so I’m wondering how I would set up a scrolling text box that doesn’t live on the first frame of the movie, and is loaded into a submovie, in a container in another MC…
is it because the target is different when it’s loaded into another movie? or because you can’t have text boxes in a different frame than the first one?
Please help, I’m beating my head against the wall trying to figure it out…
thanks a bunch
JB
