Hi,

Can you please tell when you’re getting this error? Are you trying to use the file in a flash project? A null stage reference could cause this problem, however, I need to see your project files to help. Try to follow the steps in the help file and double check for null stage references. Sample project file could also help you understand how things work.

Regards, Lydian

thankyou so much for your reply lydian !!!

Yes, i am trying to use the file in another flash website template. i got this error when i tried to run the text scrollbar.

according to the debug mode, these 2 lines seems to be the problem >> stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onThumbUp, false, 0, true); >> stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, onMouseWheel, false, 0, true);

im not sure which file(s) you need to see ? the whole folder ? and also i do not know your e-mail.

PS: I tried to follow the help file, but because i have no knowledge in flash, i cannot make it work at all .. lol, so i end up trying to modify your sample

thank you again for your reply

Dear Lydian:

Thank you for such a cool scrollbar.

If you have a moment, do you know if there is any way to preserve the hyperlink in my xml in the scrollbar text box? My Dynamic text box is set to html and the hyperlink works there, but I have not been able to change your code and get it to preserve my hyperlink in the scrollbar box.

My client is bothering me about this and I need to have an answer for him soon.

Would love for this to work.

Thank you.

Hi,

Just enable mouse on the text fields and you will be able to use hyperlinks. All you need to do is remove this line in ScrollBar.as and recompile the project _content.mouseEnabled = false;

To be able to use different font styles; such as bold, underline etc. You should embed these font types to the fla file. Just open the textfield movie clip and add an empty textfield with regarding embedded font style. Later you can use tags such as

<b></b><u></u>

Hi,

Did you try fixing this line _content.mouseEnabled = false;? I think it should work after setting it to true.

Hello again Lydian, I have another issue about the “XML Driven Scrolling Text and Scrollbar”

Last time you have sent me a updated version of the flash, so that i can use it dynamically with my flash site template

it works great, thank you, but there is one issue that bugs me. I found that when i scroll the text, it is NOT SMOOTH at all, very LAGGY on the other hand. (the original version was very smooth)

*How can i fix this smooth scrolling issue ?? *or if i cannot fix the issue, how can I simply TURN OFF the smooth scrolling ??

Thank you for you help, Im looking forward to your reply. best regards

Hi melancolique,

There might be a problem related with your integration. It might be throwing some invisible errors in the background. Please try to debug your project to understand what the problem is. I just removed 2 lines from the original file to create the modified version that I sent you and there wasn’t any errors when I checked.

Regards, Lydian

Hello Lydian,

I am a 10 license purchaser… I’m afraid I am having the same issues as a few others in that I am unable to load text into the textfield when loading an external swf. Again, the swf works fine by itself in the same directory as the parent.

I have tried changing the relative path in Scrollbar.as as well. I also tried your other solutions in previous posts and no luck.

I know it’s such a simple fix but my eyes are crossed with this one.

Thanks for your help!

Lydian,

I have a problem with loading this into an existing FLA …a new file works perfectly using the same path settings in my .AS files. Could you please respond with a solution? Is there an issue with using this in nested movie clips?

“Gtween.as, Line 138: Attribute used outside class.” more…

thanks,

I’ve the same problem of few others… loading the swf with your scroller (that works perfect on his own) in my main swf i see only the scrolling bar fixed

I saw your answered:

“You can find the file paths at the top of the ScrollBar.as file. Change them relative to the location of your main swf file.”

but I’m still looking where is this the problem…. My main swf is located in the same directory of my secondary swf.

This is the error in the output page: TypeError: Error #1009: Impossibile accedere a una proprietà o a un metodo di un riferimento oggetto null. at net.flashden.lydian.text::ScrollBar/init() at filmog_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I need to be able to re-use the scrolling text view on multiple frames (flash pages).

It works for one but I can’t re-use because it just repeats the same content across screens.

HELP !
