please I'd like to ask one question

I'm new in flash mx,and I want to know first

how to use the scrollpane to scroll a long page having buttons in it?

From what i have been trying to do and in your example as well, the focus does go beyond the ComboBox.

Like, if you had something after the combo box in your movie, or for that matter in any case, Focus is not lost from the combo box once it is set.

but

I have one problem.
I have one mc created with attachMovie().
I have text field inside mc.
I put the 8 mc-s in a into_mc and than in a scrollPane.
It doesn't work.

this is the code for one mc

switch (global_variable){ case 'a': { mc.p_txt.text= "A";break;
}
case 'b': { mc.p_txt.text= "B";break;
}
case 'p': { mc.p_txt.text= "P";
}
}

All i had to do was put this line of code in. I already had the tab order in the mc that was being loaded into the scrollpane. And bingo it worked otherwise the focus goes to the scrollpane and the order gets mixed up. Thanks scottman, you saved me a lot of time.

_level0.scrollpane.tabChildren = true;

//i had this in the original mc that i wanted to put in the scrollpane.
text_1.tabIndex = 1;
text_2.tabIndex = 2;
text_3.tabIndex = 3;
// 31+ text fields!!!!

Though when using this scrollpane for a big project with a few things going on inside the mc thatthe scrollpane is in screws the smoothness of the scroller ability. For that reason alone i have decided not to use the scrollpane at all for my purpose! And a lot of the functionality i had in the original mc was gone.

Thank you very much. Your tutorial saved me a long time. I searched in google about this issue and your page was the first one. For first time, I found directly what I was looking for.

hi

i am new on flash but i want to know how to use a scrollpane for managing and seeing a text document.

PLease, i need a help

i have multiple flash ui components placed on the stage. but i m not able to manage tab ordering of it. can anyone help me out. the flash ui components placed includes combo,listbox, radio .also data grid and text box are used.

For Ivan ...

What do you want to do? To load one file into the ScrollPane?
I show you how to load the text from file (from the same folder) using
a Textfiled and a ScrollBar.
You can put on the stage one Textfield_txt (Text Tool), after that you
can attach one simple ScollBar...just drag it into the Textfield_txt.

The action script is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.useCodepage = true; //special characters (french, german
characters)

var myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("./file.txt");
myVars.onLoad = function(success){
Textfield_txt.text = myVars.text.replace('\r\n','\n');
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 'file.txt' must contain one variable named text (which will be
known from Flash) and the file looks like this:

&text=hghgdsasdfsd acsvcadsavc abc...&



Hope I could help you....:)

For Yamini ...

I belive you have to place all the components in one movieclip and the to place that movieclip into the ScrollPane...

I understand this except for the way components are referenced through tmp_mc. What is tmp_mc?

Thanks, Gobo

I'm also wondering about tmp_mc. What is it exactly?

Thanks,
Umit

The tmp_mc reference has also thrown me off. What am I missing?

Can you insert an html page into a scroll pane?

thanks for making this accessible. Saved me many hours recreating your path (if only the docs were so clear...)

Do you know how I can link an *.html page to a scrollpane?

Reason being the html pages are changed very often and I am trying to make it easier for the other guys to edit.

Any Help would be great,

Thanks in Advance,

alstech

Hi, I want to put .html and .php pages in the middle of a flash animation. How don't know how to do this. It is the same problem as alstech.

thanks

hi there, just a doubt, I've a ListBox with this AS in the same frame:

// create items
var item1 = {label:"Este es un tipo de ejemplo"};
var item2 = {label:"este podria ser otro"};
var item3 = {label:"como para no dejarlo afuera"};
var item4 = {label:"y ahora que te puedo decir"};
// load items
myListBox.addItem(item1);
myListBox.addItem(item2);
myListBox.addItem(item3);
myListBox.addItem(item4);

what I want to do is when the user clicks into each item listed in the listbox, send the action to open an external .HTML document, but I don't know how to do this, anybody can help me?, thanks

Arturo

Does anyone know why the combo box doesn't lose focus in the example above if you click it and then click the scrollbars?

What i'm really asking is:
How can you make the scrollbar accept focus?

Hey Y'all,
I d/l the .fla to take a closer look, and to my dismay when published the text and components still appear to be "drunk" , the components are outside the box and the text is invisible.... I tried it on two machines and I still get the same error? Does anyone have any knowledge of this???
keep on contact, Romeo

It doesn't work for me I figured because my scrollpane is external swf that get loaded into main movie so tabing works localy when tested but inside main movie it doesn't !!!! Any ideas how to fix this e-mail me?

Why can't I Edit my scrollpane so that I cant change the coloring of the scrollpane. When I right-click the scrollpane, the "Edit in place"-button is not working. I would really like to know, so if you know, please let me know!
Thanks

hi if you can help me..
I use ScrollPane that load movie clip that have object that i can drag bat when i drag them out from the ScrollPane ther no changes on ScrollPane like more Scroll areae....

Hello,

I have one wierd problem. I have one movieclip in library, which has one textfield and one rectangular shape which allows user to drag that movieclip. I am creating instances of this movieclip into another movieclip. I have given tabindex for the textfields.
It works well :)
But when I use any component from the flash 2004, eg. 'Button', my tabIndex logic for those textfields collapses. :(
And if I delete that component of flash 2004, tabindex again starts working ...
Please help me ...
Thanks ..

good

So... I still cannot tab to the scrollbar to see all of the text. What good does tabbing do for a mobility impaired users if you can't see what you are tabbing to? A visually impaired user can't tab anyway when a screen reader is on. My question is: how do you tab to the scrollbar to make the contents scroll?

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

I have a problem related with duplicateMovieClip and
the component ScrollPane.

It consists in a movie clip called LstPrj and inside it another called prj_1.

The MC prj_1 duplicates depending the number of rows
that my database have.

duplicateMovieClip("proj_1","proj_" + i, i);

The problem it's when i run the movie the vertical scrollbar of the scrollpane doesn't appear when i have more that MCs prj_+i that the available height of the scrollPane.

I use this code to create the scrollpane:

createObject("ScrollPane", "SPListProj", 0);
SPListProj.contentPath = "LstPrj";

I tried to put already this line code:

SPListProj.setScrollContent("LstPrj");

it stays the same..:(

please help me and thanks!

I have a problem related with Muliti image and

i also had problem with duplicate MCs in a scrollpane, and fially found the solution here :
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00002769.html

you have to use the undocumented onComplete() method of the scroll pane after duplicating the mc.

I have a movie Clip which dynamically loads the image with the help of XML file. I need to set some properties to the Dynamic movie clip. Before doing so i have to check wether the MC is loaded completely or not. Is there any function or property to find out.
Do respond me ASAP.

HI guys i rerally need help on making an automatic mouse on scrollpane with flash
which will only have text embedded with in

Thanks

The scrollBar doesn't slide left or top if a movieClip is placed at the position say (-50,-50) to the empty movieclip which places at (0,0) in scrollPane
