Here is what I have working they way I like http://shara.us/Practice/FlashDB/myTextBox.html the text box pulls data from a mySQL database and displays it just fine. But the default component buttons are ugly and I wish to use custom images either as a movie clip or button. Is this possible? Here is the actionscript I’m working with:
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“backgroundColor” , “false”);
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle(“borderStyle”, “none”);
_global.styles.Button.setStyle(“backgroundColor” , “false”);
_global.styles.Button.setStyle(“borderStyle”, “none”);
function loadEntries(act, increment) {
// Define NumLow as a Number
num = new Number(_parent.NumLow);
// Act accordingly
if(act == “٧”) {
// Add increment
_parent.NumLow = num + increment;
} else if(act == “٨”) {
_parent.NumLow = num - increment;
} else {
// Load default - i.e. 0
_parent.NumLow = 0;
}
// Update Statistics
_parent.read.low.text = _parent.NumLow;
_parent.read.high.text = Number(_parent.NumLow) + 1;
// Begin Loading
myEntries = new LoadVars()
entries.vScrollPolicy = false;
myEntries.ref = this
myEntries.load(“http://shara.us/Practice/FlashDB/shara.php?action=read&r="+random(999)+"&NumLow=”+_parent.NumLow)
myEntries.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
// Assign output to components and objects
entries.text = this.entries;
totalEntries.text = this.totalEntries;
//Update values to calculate prev/next button visibility
num = Number(_parent.NumLow)
var totalEntries = Number(this.totalEntries);
var total = num+increment
//Hide/show next button
if(total<totalEntries) this.ref.next_button._visible = true;
else this.ref.next_button._visible = false;
//Hide/show previous button
if(num==0) prev_button._visible = false;
else prev_button._visible = true;
}
}
}
// Load Default
_parent.read.loadEntries(“Default”, 1);
stop();
Lastly, I would like to add a transition using a mask or whatever other means to make the text appear as if it is dropping down from the top of the screen when the next button is used (page down basically) and reverse when previous button is used (page up). Any help with either or both of these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
