Scroller advanced

Sweet file, that mousewheel thing is really awesome, am definitely using this in my next project

No adaptability at all..everything thrown on the main timeline.. scrollbar properties are hardcoded in the actionscript, how is one supposed to reuse this?

Could you please show us the code that will round to whole pixels so we don’t get blurry bitmap text? (Like Fonts For Flash)

Otherwise great file, it just requires you to change the hard coded values for the X and Y (both top and bottom) coordinates.

MAN , THIS FILE SUCKS BALLS ! Richardson, all your files are relatively good but ridiculously useless. I say this because this file by itself (without altering it much) is good and can be published in flash 6 format (mousewheel only works when viewing with flash 7+ though), but would be totally useless to most users by the time we figure out that there isn’t much you can do with it. This also applies to all your other files (espcially your flash centering template file, which btw can randomly go totally homo when used in other browsers).

I think this is a better scroller to use dynamicfield scrollbar since it doesn’t screw up and offers external html loaded content.

FAULT DETECTED … Ok.. scroll all the way to the bottom. Then click on the horizontal bar area that is horizonal form the “lobortis dolor, non sodales nunc erat in enim. Aenean toror” sentence (about 20 or so pixels below the top). It scrolls to the autoscrolls to the top as it should, but it over scrolls!

FIX FOR THIS FILE : replace richardsons crap on lines 48-56 with this shiz:

// Determines the position of the light text
infoTekst.onEnterFrame = function() {
    contentScroll = this._height-148;
    dragScroll = 148;
    scrollTo = 25-(contentScroll*(scrollBut._y-25))/dragScroll;
    mover = (scrollTo-this._y)/moveEase;
    this._y += mover;
};
// has anyone ever bought a richardson file without having to hard edit it!!!

It prevents the scroller for going past the scrollbar when pressing an area of the scrollbar that is 50% of the scrollers height below the top of the scrollbar.

Sorry my bad… forget the last comment (read my fix incorrectly)...You have to replace lines 36 to 44 with this:

 scrollBar.onPress = function() {
    if (this._ymouse > 165) {
        scrollBut._y = 165;
    } else if (this._ymouse < 25) {
        scrollBut._y = 25;
    }else {
        scrollBut._y = this._ymouse;
    }
}; 

It fixes the problem.

@Maymarc – If you’re so good at coding why didin’t you just make one for yourself instead of going ballistic?

Since I purchased this file …

I need to know … can I make the vertical scroll bar into a horizontal scroll bar and scroll the content left/right??? Can I do this via the AS?

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

I hate people like you Maymarc you have sold sod all files but have a go t other people, make a better on and upload it !

I am using bitmap text in the scroller and when I scroll and it stops the text is blurry how can I fix this?

hi, this scroll, suport links to url in text? thanks!

I just bought this file and it doesn’t work at all. If I add a large amount of text the scroll bar completely reverses the motion and the text starts jumping all over itself. I even tried just pasting the text I have into the example file..but still no luck. Can I get some support for this file?

OH MY GOD where can I get a frekin refund If I just move it like 2 pixels ANYWHERE the damn thing wont work as needed I would have to redesing the damn website to adapt to this thing Too bad I purchased without seeing comments on such a thing… but please …. how can it be advanced if it must STAY THERE …. u know, not every website is like that, I needed the freaking box ON THE LEFT , and like on mid screen in a 1200×1200 file, now the scroller stays on the right and the text is shown halfways….

SUX MAN REFUND MY 6 BUCKS !!!

Maymarc the problem is that the position of x&y for the text box, the scroller, and mostly EVERYTHING is hard coded, so your solution applies for your project If you need this thing (which I dont recommend anyone) you have to review your x&y coordinates for everything and input them:::

there should be a var that collects the x&y so just keep removing the numbers for x and y and replacing them with your own

// The ease of the movement, the higher the number the slower the ease moveEase = 5;

// This mouse listtener object tells when the mouse wheel is scrolled // the if statements are there to keep the scollbutton on his track

scrollMouse = new Object(); scrollMouse.onMouseWheel = function(delta) { scrollBut._y -= delta; if (scrollBut._y < 25) { * scrollBut._y = 25;(HERE)* } if (scrollBut._y > 215) {* scrollBut._y = 215;(HERE)* } } Mouse.addListener(scrollMouse);

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Tells the mask to drag when pressen scrollBut.onPress = function() { this.startDrag(lockCenter, 550, 25, 550, 215);* };

// And to drop when released scrollBut.onRelease = function() { this.stopDrag(); }; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// This piece of code tells the scrollbutton to move to // the position of the mouse at that moment. The content will scroll to // due to the onEnterFrame function

scrollBar.onPress = function() { if (this._ymouse > 215) {(HERE)* scrollBut._y = 215;* } else if (this._ymouse < 25) {(HERE)* scrollBut._y = 25;* }else { scrollBut._y = this._ymouse-30; } }; * FOR SOME REASON THIS DIDNT WORK * ANYONE WITH MORE AS KNOWLEDGE PLEASE EDIT * //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Determines the position of the light text infoTekst.onEnterFrame = function() { contentScroll = this._height-200; dragScroll = 200; scrollTo = 25-(contentScroll)/dragScroll;(HERE)* mover = (scrollTo-this._y)/moveEase; this._y += mover; };

that worked for me… but took me like 30 minutes to figure out why,... since I hardly know any AS and was like checking every move

damn thing used the ”*” to make bold… in sum, if you see a 25 and a 215, put your own coordinates for Y and if you see a 550 put your x coords SUX

Hi, do you tried this in Flashplayer 9 ?

So, when i scroll and release the bar – it continues scrolling, outside moving the mouse.

In FP 7 – your output – its all okay.

Can i modify this?

Thank you

ahm you pay six bucks it don’t work right because you didn’t build it to your liking so you get mad and blame others and want a refund. Thats a pretty smart approach.
