Scrolling is evil

1

Grr I am looking for a MX 04 tutorial to make a scrolling text field…any ideas? A component would be awesome :slight_smile:

I thought MX 04 had a TextArea component that did this? It’s sorta like the ScrollBar component in Flash MX, but instead it’s a textarea with the option of a scrollbar or something like that (haven’t used MX 04 yet so i’m not sure).

it’s weird, but it’s alright, I just picked up a component :slight_smile: Thanks

I’ve attached a zip file which contains a fla.
In it you will see two textfields.
The first is a TextArea component, which will automatically attach a scrollbar if the text cannot fit in the Area.

The second is a regular dynamic textfield that will scroll on a time-based event.
I’ve used the following AS:


function autoScroll(){
My_tf.scroll +=1;
}

setInterval(autoScroll, 1000);

//This will call the function autoScroll every 1000 milliseconds (1.0 sec)
