Sorry cryptic headline, I know…
Im having some problems with the scrollpane component…
I have a swf(swf1) with some dynamic text fields that loads txt from some .txt files… and when testing this it works perfect, now I have another swf(swf2) and indside this a scrollpane-Component, now if I load swf into swf2’s scrollpane by typing “swf1” in the content path of the scrollpane, it loads swf1 but not the dynamic text…is there some special way of getting around this…
I mean I can load a 1000 swf inside eachother and still load text into number 1000 what is so different with the scrollpane…hmm this gives me aloth of grief so any help is appriciatet…cause I can’t find this problem elsewhere…
Well scrollpane’s use masks and masks and dynamic text box don’t get along with each other very well.
To fix it you need to imbed the font of the dynamic text box. You can imbed fonts by clicking the Character… button in the prob’s window of the dynamic text box.
I’m also having the same problem. Following your advice, the dynamic text still does not appear. Is there any additional steps required? For example, should I be giving a “Var” name, or stick to the instance name? If I give a “Var” name, should I be assigning the string value to this “Var” or the instance name?
Well I would stick with instance names, Vars was a flash 5 thing. Just make sure your only using relative target paths (this, _parent) and not absolute target paths (_root, level#) because when loading _root, and level# in to an other movie, we will change and this, _parent will not. If you don’t know what _root, level#, this, _parent all mean check the flash help F1
