I really like the scroller that http://www.fontsforflash.com has on their page. Notice when you scroll there is a real nice effect as the text scrolls down, not like the usual. can anyone point me to a good way to accomplish this?
Whats up digital?
I would start by taking this tut:

and turn it 90 degrees, change the elastic formula to an easing one; then, I would add the up/down buttons that would move the blue box like 20 pixels up or down. The movieClip with the info on it is going to follow the actions of the slider, so if you have buttons movie the slider, it should still work.
Then, to click on the slide area, I would use a hitTest and _ymouse and have the slider jump to wherever the mouse is; or better yet, you could make your slide area a button (or keep it a movieClip) and use a handler to detect a mouseDown and then have slider follow _root._ymouse.
That’s where I would start. I haven’t done it, but it’s working great in my head!!
Hey man. I’m good thanks, busy making my new site. This seems like it will do the trick. However, I have a question. I will be using this for my news section. I would like to just update the news through mysql and display it in a textbox. My question is will I be able to use this with a the ScrollerUI component? For some reason I doubt this is possable. Or do I have to keep my news in a movie clip, and manually update it in Flash? Becasue I really don’t want to do it like that (through a mc).
Thanks agian
Can’t you put the dynamic text box -> in the movieClip?? Nest it like a boid?
yea after reposting I realized that and figured u thought i did too… thanks again
Cool…I figured you’d figure it anyway!! Good luck!
