Just Another ScrollBar Question Oh yeah!

programming flash

Hi
I need to create text boxs with scrollbar like this

  1. text box 1 must be 256w x 192h
  2. text box 2 must be 256w x 384h
  3. must work well when both scrollbox are present on the same frame
  4. must work within movies dinamically loaded
  5. I would like to define the size of the box by AS
  6. Text must justify left right
    Text does NOT need to be dynamically loaded (but can be for box 2 -larger box)

Can someone expert point me out a script that would work in this scenario (not UI component if possible)

Believe me please when I say I am not just posting this question, I have done tutorials, downloaded sorces, skinned components but still i havent found anything that works in my contenxt (ie 2 boxes)

Please help. One day prior to delivery the client has decided that ‘’ there wasnt enogh text " :sure:

Wow that was a lucky one!
I just finished custumising Claudio Scrolling Thingie and now you send me the link. It fit perfectly my case.

Just some fine tuning

  1. I cannot make the text fully justify. I can see it working in the working envirounment but not when I export.

  2. I guess it is impossible to rid off the antialias. Correct?

  3. Why do I have so much space left at the end of my text?

File here.
Thanks again I am ever so pleased!

  1. Make your textfield static i/o dynamic
  2. I think in MX it’s impossible with such small size, you could use a pixel font, but then you have to adjust the easing code so it returns values on whole pixels
  3. No space here?

  1. Ok. Now that is static why cannot I select the use devise fonts ? (text disappears?

  2. oh well…

  3. If you drag till the end there is space the text doesnt stop at the last line. (but there is no lines after the text in the text box) Is this set by the script?

Sorry if I am tedious I just like to understand what I am doing when I use somebody else script rathere than just cut and paste

Now I have copied frames onto my project and the text doesnt scroll.
The dragger does move up and down. What should I verify / make sure?

Postilla
I ended up loading the swf with the scroll into empty mc and its fine.
Still wondering why couldnt just copy frame/layers…onto the project root.

If my fla is of any use for newbie that still live back in the past (MX) please take it just remember the original source is Claudio’s.
