Vertical Mouse-Over Scrollers

programming flash
1

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been searching for help all over, but can’t quite find exactly what I’m looking for. I need a vertical text or image scroller that:

  1. has Mouse-Over controls to move up and down
  2. has a “stop scrolling” feature if the mouse rolls off of the buttons
  3. does not require external text or image files to load into the movie - I need to keep everything inside of one Fla. I need to put this scroller inside of an existing movie on the main timeline.

I hope I’m making sense - It seems simple, but I’m even simpler than this. Could someone point me in the right direction, if something like this already exists elsewhere?

Thank you in advance!

Hi again electrongeek -
You come to my rescue again! I tried downloading the attachment, but it turns into “attachment.php” and doesn’t seem to work. I saw a thread somewhere about macs not taking these attachments or something like that. Would you be able to put it up in a different form, or somewhere else?

Thanks again,
macgirl

Darn macs! :stuck_out_tongue: Ok well here’s a zip file, I hope this works. :-
I uploaded it to my server, let me know when you got it so I can delete it. Here’s the link.

Hi electrongeek,

Thanks again for such a quick response! I got the file no problem this time. Poor macs can’t download from this site.

I’ll look at your file and see if I can get my head around it. May I PM you as a last resort, if I can’t figure it out?

Thanks again!

Sure, PM away! :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s done pretty well electrongeek…

Can you make mouseOver vertical scrollbars for a dynamic text box?

I’m loading in text from a TXT file, and that text is larger than the designated size of the movie. Thereby I’m not so sure that using a mask will be able to accomplish my goal. Is there a way to make the textbox dynamically large enough to contain all the data, and then use that with a mask? Or is there a simpler way to use vertical scrollbars on mouseOver?

Bringin back the old threads :rambo:
