Scrollers?Text?

1

Okai…

I jus learned how to create scrolling text via a .txt file

it works but it seems to b limited to a number of characters and words

did i do it wrong? n if it isnt wrong, can i change it so dat the length can b longer? how?:hangover:

Hmm, I have had no problems scrolling any lenght txt file. Post the source so I can take a look and see whats up…

Da text file is here

I think s/he meant to post an FLA file or code snippet…

Did you set your textbox to be multiline?

myTextfield_txt.multiline = true;

Or select your textfield on the stage and in the Property panel you should see a dropdown list that has three choices

  1. Singleline
  2. multiline
  3. multiline no word wrap

Either way should work.

Dis woz da code dat i used…

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“profile.txt”);
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.profiletext;
};

6

Yes the fla would help…you have scroller as the instance name on the textbox?

7

Give this a go…

loadText.onLoad = function() {
        scroller.multiline = true;
        scroller.wordWrap = true;
        scroller.text = this.profiletext;       
};

hmmz…

I gave da dynamic textbox an instance name…but not for the scroller

the code doesnt seem to b working…i tried with the old code with multiline, but it didnt work either

i’ve also attached the amount of text i really want

9

Also…now dat i hav put the old code bak in…it doesnt seem to either

scroll

or

is taking in less characters

yeah thanks to this thread , the same problem happen to me too…keep racking my brains why it wont scroll to the end…checked back my txt file and figure out that its the “&” char which prevents it from scrolling! :!:
