Blackpulp,

Just checked out your site and absolutely loved it! Great composition, nice color theory, absolutely beautiful photo sets…

Just a couple of nav issues:

  1. Under the “BAND” section, the scroll panes seem to be dead. I can select text and drag to the bottom, tho.

  2. Under Jerrett’s page, the apostrophe in 80’s is not coming through.

Apart from that, you’ve done a very professional job.

I really like the music, as well. Kind of surprised me. :esmirk:

Best,

Sketcher

yeah i have been having a lot of problems with that scroller? for some reason its totally random…sometimes it will work and other times it wont?? any suggestions?

hmmm…what ver. are you running? MX or 5? Question 2: what sort of script are you using to form the scrollbar?

5

well, im using mx, and what im doing is using an event handler that checks when the text loads and when it does it jumps to a frame with the scroller on it…

i would think that would be pretty fail safe??

6

That sounds fairly safe. Can you post a link to the script? Also, how are you calling the textblock? Is it external to the movie?

Have you tried the scrollpane component to quickly set up a scrollbox for the text?

7

the text is loaded from an external text file, ill post the script…

this script is on a frame

cat.text = “loading…”;
loadHandler = function() {
bioText = this.bioText;
gotoAndPlay(“text_load”);
}
//create LoadVars object
bioTxt = new LoadVars();

//set event handler
bioTxt.onLoad = loadHandler;

//load data
bioTxt.load(catSelect); //catSelect is the variable for the location of the text file
stop();

so on the frame “text_load” i have the same text box but with a scrollBar component, and yes, i remembered to set it to the text box.

Very good job :slight_smile: Looks cool and professional. The only thing I’d change is the site title, it says, load_song# or something =)

BP,

Sorry for the delay…

Nice script. OK. Everything looks good. Before we delve deeper, let’s make sure that I understand this script. :evil:

  1. Are you using the TextFormat object instead of the Property inspector to control the text variables (perhaps in catSelect)?

  2. Have you entered an instance name for the parent of this movie clip (such as _root if the main timeline is the parent).

  3. I assume that bioText is the timeline event where “text_Load” is called, due to the “this.bioText” variable, but (and I’m not sure on this) it seems that you are resetting the var for the text and, unless you are passing the scrolling info along (to verify whether the text needs to scroll) then the scrollbar doesn’t know to allow actual scrolling…

  4. Assuming the text variables are being passed to the scrollbar, what are the parameters that you are using for your text and scrollbar actions. The problem might lie there, but I doubt it (unless you forgot to activate scrolling. JK :thumb: Speaking of which, can you post the scrolling actionscript, just to be sure?

5 What is the order in which you are calling both the textbox and the pics box next to it? Have you tried testing the page without the pics to see if it funcitons correctly. Just a thought.

K. I’m real confrused now. The last thing that might be looked at is some sort of _level issue, as mentioned in 2.

Hope this helps. I’ll take some gingko biloba and keep trying if needed.

Best,

Sketcher

the text in het menu isn’t that crisp

11

you all ready knwo what i think of this site man. amazing job:A+: :A+: :A+:

12

yeah, sintax showed me this site before. I have nothing negative
to say about it whatsoever. The site is crisp, well designed, and
very stylish. What more could you ask for in a site?

Great job blackpulp.

13

very nice design ! great work !
really fresh…

14

Just checked back, today. The scroll bars are working fine now. Congrats! Good work.

15

besides the menu text it seems perfect. love the torn paper. love the site.

16

Nice Site justa couple of things:

  1. I cant read the percentage one the preloader
  2. What is that decimal number (BRH Corner) on the audio player?

Nice site! I like the “sunray” effect :slight_smile:

that was a great site,
i’ve got just one comment and a few questions:

commet:

  • the x’s used to close the windows are too small

question:

  • what font was that you used? where can i get it? (i’ve been looking for a while)
  • do you have a homesite?
  • what other sites have you done?

I’de love to see more of your work!
thanx for your time: luv Blake aka playboy_94804

the font i used for most of that stuff was called simplicity and its from fonts for flash…goto fontsforflash.com

youre site…the words on the menu are blurry…i need to do something about that. hmmm…maybe go with the same simpliciity font? but i think that will be too small for a menu…i dont know?

sketcher…i just fixed the scrollers…the problem was this, or at least this is how i fixed it…when the text loaded it jumped to “text_load” frame, and on that frame was the scrollBar so what i did was move the scrollBar one frame back, that way the text loaded into the textbox and then it moved one frame forward and the scrollBar was set…this was my thinking…the text was getting loaded after the scrollBar on the same frame…does that make sense?

thank you all for your updates…my home site is under construction…but it has a cheesy promo video up…http://www.blackpulp.com

oh ive also done this site…http://www.robbieseayband.com <–that ones another of my faves…and then i have a lot of crap ive done…hehe

19

yep, that makes perfect sense. glad you fixed it. you had me digging out the books on that one. knocks dust off self

as to your blurry text, that is most prolly a result of the alpha channel setting on your button. play around a bit with the anti-aliasing on the text and it should look just fine.

just saw your “cheesy” promo vid. ROFL. nice!

you’ve gotta get your site up. this is nice work i’m seeing. very professional.

20

well, as far as the blurry text goes, i changed the text size a bit and it seemed to help? but its not dynamic text thats for sure…not that ultra crisp thing. but then again, i think i want a lil antialiasing on that part…sometimes the whole crisp thing doesnt work for me…but i appreciate the blurry comments, i was kinda thinking the same thing, so i changed the font…okay, now im just repeating myself, maybe thats because its 4:00 am…
