Action script to loop scrolling text

hello guys/girls,
im working on a website
http://www.tweedmill.co.uk/newA/
and i`ve used some basic scrolling flash. ( its on the rightside,
the text is scrolling up )
i was wondering if you can use action script to create the
scrolling rather than having to tween it.
cheers

for smooth scrolling like your website you would control the
_y property of a movieclip and yes, that can be done with
actionscript.

Action Script problem with scrolling images

doing a tutorial and got to the stage of action scripting mouse control for scrolling images.
checked the script in Actions. And said it was ok...No errors found.
Tested the movie and there were 2 compiler errors reported.
Scene 1. layer 'action script', Frame 1, line 1: 1120:Access of undefined property _root. _root.onEnterFrame=funtion(){
Scene 1. layer 'action script', Frame 1, line 2: 1120:Access of undefined property _root. _if(_root._xmouse<50){
Scene 1. layer 'action script', Frame 1, line 1: Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root.onEnterFrame=funtion(){
Can anyone help me understand this.
thanks

It sounds like you are mixing up AS2 code with AS3 compiling. You may need to change you publish settings to AS2.

Action Script - Controlled Loop

I know the most basic command in ActionScripts to keep my
Flash video from looping (stop();). Can I apply that command
if I want
to end on a scene used previously in the movie (as in the
example in
the
notes)? How does that work such that my movie doesn't stop
after the
initial use of that scene and go no further?
Ideally, I would like to use the same scene as an opening and
closing
sequence to my movie. However, after the second use, I would
like to
have text saying "The End." Is there an if/then statement
that defines
if this has played before or something?

Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
air for android only work with AS3,
the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
    submit.onRelease = function() {
        switch (yourname.text) {
        case "name1" :
            gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case "name2" :
            gotoAndStop(3);
            break;
My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

you should use the default option in the switch statement
that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                              switch (yourname.text)
                                        case "name1":
                                                  gotoAndStop(2);
                                                  break;
                                        case "name2":
                                                  gotoAndStop(3);
                                                  break;
                                        default:
                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                        break;

Scroll bar actions script issue

I am having a problem with the action script for a scroll bar
the code is complex and I did not write it but have managed to make
other adjustments to get it to work...think we got the wrong raw
file to work from because the scroll bar works in the file on the
seller's server. Can't find the programmer now. If someone could
please tell me what I am missing. The scroll bar works if you use
the solid scroller in the middle but does not move the information
and the arrows do not work at all. You can check this out at
http://74.53.228.34/~jacob753/vocab/
Just click on crossword and then load a topic and you will
see that the scroll bar does not work at all. The floating window
is another issue and I will put this in another message after this
is fixed.
The code is below:
initClueListScroll = function(y){
// y : hauteur de la cluelist (height of the cluelist)
_global.clueListHeight = y
_global.clueListScroll = true
var c = clScrollClip
c._x = Math.floor(cluelistClip._x+cluelistClip._width)
c.scrollBG._height = gridSize*cellSize-40
c.scrdownClip._y = c.scrollBG._y+c.scrollBG._height
c.scroller._height =
c.scrollBG._height*(gridSize*cellSize/y)
// ---- on définit les actions (action definitions)
c.scrdownClip.onRollOver = c.scrupClip.onRollOver =
function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(2)
c.scrdownClip.onRollOut = c.scrupClip.onRollOut =
function(){
this.gotoAndStop(1)
c.scrdownClip.onReleaseOutside = c.scrdownClip.onRelease =
function(){
this.gotoAndStop(1)
var c = getMain().clScrollClip
c.scrollBG.onRelease()

var c = getMain().clScrollClip
var yMin = c.scrollBG._y
var yMax =
c.scrollBG._y+Math.floor(c.scrollBG._height-c.scroller._height)
this.startDrag(false,0,yMin,0,yMax)
getMain().onMouseMove = function(){
var c = getMain().clScrollClip
var yDes = c.scroller._y-20
var yMax = Math.floor(c.scrollBG._height-c.scroller._height)
var yFin = 20+Math.min(yDes,yMax)
c.scroller.setGoTo(c.scroller._x,yFin,100,c.scroller._yscale,100,0,4)
var yDiff =
(yFin-c.scrollBG._y)*(gridSize*cellSize/c.scrollBG._height)
if(yFin==yMax+20){
var ymn = 0
var ymx = clueListHeight-(gridSize*cellSize)
yDiff = (ymx - ymn)*(yFin/(yMax+20))
// pX, pY, pW, pH, pA, pR, pSpeed
var cl = getMain().cluelistClip.contClip
cl.setGoTo(cl._x,-yDiff+gridPosition.y,100,100,100,0,4)
c.scroller.onRelease = c.scroller.onReleaseOutside =
function(){
stopDrag()
this.gotoAndStop(1)
delete getMain().onMouseMove
c.scrollBG.onRelease = function(){
var c = getMain().clScrollClip
var yDes = c._ymouse-20<c.scroller._height ? 0 :
c._ymouse-20
var yMax = Math.floor(c.scrollBG._height-c.scroller._height)
var yFin = 20+Math.min(yDes,yMax)
c.scroller.setGoTo(c.scroller._x,yFin,100,c.scroller._yscale,100,0,4)
var yDiff =
(yFin-c.scrollBG._y)*(gridSize*cellSize/c.scrollBG._height)
if(yFin==yMax+20){
var ymn = 0
var ymx = clueListHeight-(gridSize*cellSize)
yDiff = (ymx - ymn)*(yFin/(yMax+20))
// pX, pY, pW, pH, pA, pR, pSpeed
var cl = getMain().cluelistClip.contClip
cl.setGoTo(cl._x,-yDiff+gridPosition.y,100,100,100,0,4)
c.scrollBG.onReleaseOutside = c.scrollBG.onRelease

Try it in a simple test case. I don't think that is default behavior.

Script to update legacy text (action does not work)

So here is my scenario: I did select all and update legacy text but I have some issues with some type paths that are being clipped. OK, easy enough let me unselect those layers and run "update selected legacy text" GREAT WORKS!
Here is my delima I have 400 .eps files that I am doing this on. The layer names are always the same so I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this on an action. Does an action know that I am unselecting a layer after selecting all? Why doesn't it record when I do
Type>Legacy Text>Convert Selected Text?
• Select all
• Unselect two layers (layers name consistent)
• Type>Legacy Text>Convert Selected Text
Is this easy in a script to pull off?

#target illustrator
// script.name = legacyTextConvertToNative.jsx;
// script.description = converts Legacy Text to Native from all layers, except from 2 layers, hard codes below.
// script.required = 2 layers named the sames as the names shown below in skipLayer1 & 2
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/23/11;
// script.elegant = false;
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var skipLayer1 = "CAPTIONS HYDROGRAPHY"; // replace with your own layer name
var skipLayer2 = "CAPTIONS RELIEF"; // replace with your own layer name
for (i=0; i<idoc.layers.length; i++)
          var ilayer = idoc.layers[i];
               if (ilayer.name!=skipLayer1 && ilayer.name!=skipLayer2)
                         for (j=0; j<ilayer.groupItems.length; j++)
                                   var igroup = ilayer.groupItems[j];
                                        for (k=igroup.legacyTextItems.length-1; k>=0; k--)
                                                  var ilegacy = igroup.legacyTextItems[k];
                                                  ilegacy.convertToNative();
The two that are locked are the ones I name in the script and are the ones I do not want edited.
There is your script the layers that is not getting updated for example is the: "CAPTIONS COUNTRIES" & "CAPTIONS TOWNS"

CS4 v10.0 Action Script window Text overlapped

I just installed CS4 Production bundle, and have been
entering in an Action Script to load a movie. When I type the word
'loadMovie', the automatic feature performs the word completion,
but the cursor is not adjusted to the end of the text, and the
result looks 'jumbled' and virtually impossible to edit.
The same result if I use the 'Script Assist' where the line
generated looks 'garbled'.
I have no clue what the problem may be.

Recommendation for Action Script Text book?

I am looking for a good reference to a text book on Action Script, both 2 and 3.
(hard copy text, it is easier than having stacks of windows opened and sort through to find what I need)
Some of the questions that a good text would answer are:
1: How do I know what base classes to import into any given .as file to cover the functionality?
2: How linkage works and what I can apply it to.
for instance if I want to add an event listener, can I do stage.addEventListener(....etc)
when the class is linked to a movieClip. If I use this.addEventListener, it attaches the
event listener to the object to which the class is linked, right?
3: The feature sets that each version of Flash Player supports, as well as browser
   Flash plugins.
4: How to handle permission problems when attempting to send data via post to a server
   (if have been following an example and get errors regarding permissions when attempting
    to have action script send data about the Flash plugin the client is using).
5: How javascript in a pdf file differs from browser javascript where embedded Flash content
(in the pdf file) is concerned.
6: How to troubleshoot AS2 and AS3 linkage problems.
   (I have followed an exercise example in text I use, mentioned below, and have had the
result fail without errors. But I suspect there may be a difference between CS3 and CS4
that would account for this).
Initially, I have been generating at least 4 different versions of swf files for each version
of Flash Player back to v7. Javascript and server side code is used to determine which
version to load for the client requesting it.
Currently I am using the Adobe pdf manual and Lynda.com: 'ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe
Flash CS3 Professional Hands On Training', although I am using Flash CS4 Professional.
It is a starter text but not extensive into theory and practice.
I have done tons of Javascript and PHP programming (PHP on the server side).
It is better for me to have as much information and guidance in a text book than posting
to a forum for every problem I encounter.
Than you for advice and suggestions

Please help as to what I should do to fix it please.

I can't be certain, because I don't have Flash CS3 on my
computer, but it reads as though your publish settings are set to
the wrong version of Actionscript. The code you have attached is
Actionscript 2, and those errors sound like something that would be
spit out if you are trying to publish to Actionscript 3. Check your
publish settings, and change to AS2. If you are already on AS2,
reply, and will look into further.
Hope this helps.

Action Script to add MC as sub-pages ??

Alright please help.. I have tried everything, been fooling
around with this in the past 5 hours and its not going anywhere :(
. Here is what i have. :
I have 6 menu buttons... Button 4 is what i am concentrating
on.
at the moment here is the current action script of button 4 :
--CODE---
//-----this first few lines just controls the button
animation --
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>4) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>4) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
//-----end of button animation-----
on (release) {
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(3); // I understand this
calls for fram 3 in an mc within an mc.
if (_root.anim==true) { // not really sure where this means
if (_root.link<>4) { // if value of _root.link
<> 4 then activate the following code
_parent["but"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2"); // I kind of
understand this part, i know it has to do with playing the button
animation, but i am stuck where it says "but" + _root.link .
_root.link = 4; // value of root.link
_root.all.play();
ok so basically, from what i can figure out what this action
script does is : somehow it calls out a mc called "all action page"
and the contents inside this mc are two layers. one layer is just a
stop frame, and the other layer has multiple frames, each frame in
the layer are each different mc's .. the _root.value is the value
of each frame, for example if i change the value to 2 or 3 it will
load frame 2 or 3 within the "all action page" mc..
now my question, is is there any way i can replicate this
script for the use of button 4 ?? i know i can just keep adding new
frams and mc's to the current "all action page" and just keep
changing the value that corresponds to the frame number, but i
would like to make it more neater and structured incase if i need
to change anything. any suggestions ??

XML Gallery won't work remotely - Action Script issues

I created an XML scrolling thumbnail gallery using a
tutorial
found here
I then had to alter the action script to get my thumbnails to
display properly -- they were spaced out or overlapping each other
and not in the sequence specified in the XML file. The new code
works great locally, but the thumbnails and larger image refuse to
load remotely in every browser i've tried. Any thoughts on how to
alter the action script to load the gallery?!?! I'm not much
experienced in Flash so any help would be most appreciated.
You can find the page with my unloadable gallery
here
You can see my action script in my
Flash
CS3 file
Thanks!
Joe.

Hi --
I clicked on the link for your gallery and the images load??
Both when I
click on the image or when I click the "next" and "previous"
buttons --
although the "hit" area for the buttons is below the actual
text so you
should adjust that on those buttons. I would also recommend
not making the
text selectable so the cursor won't change to the "I bar"

How do I create dynamic scrolling text in Flash CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.
I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
Remember, I'm a complete newbie.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks again Kglad,
I really have no preference of Action Script since I don't have any significant experience with either one.
I'll keep doing searches to see if I can get the information I need.
Have a great holiday.

Help with scrolling text file inside swf.

Hello, I am being brought in on a project developed by
someone else. Everything I have learned tells me to make an action
script layer that contains all the action script but this person
has not done that. It appears the script is on each component.
Anyway, LSS the Flash calls a text file that displays inside the
Flash and it is supposed to scroll but the problem is that if I add
to the text file the scroll does not extend. It stops and you can't
read the new content.

I looked at the code associated witht he scroll bar and it
reads:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.html=true;
myText_txt.htmlText = this.myVariable;
myData.load("myText1.txt");
What I am attempting to do is exactly what you have on your
web site under "publications".
I spoke to the developer of the FLA today and she use a
component and more or less punted. She sent me some links on scroll
bars and Flash. Bless her heart but I have Google too!
I made an attempt at making another FLA and assigned the
scroll bar after I had the txt file there but it didn't make any
difference.
How did you do the one on your site?

Marquee (horizontal scrolling) Text in Flash CS3 with AS2

Hello,
I know there is already some posts talking about marquee text, but none of them really answer my questions.
First I'll explain my problem and what I'm trying to ahcieve.
Currently I'm trying to create a karaoke (the same kind of karaoke that you can find in the popular game: Rock Band) where the text is scrolling from right to left. For this I need to sustain a certain amount of speed if I want to stay in synch with the music, but what I noticed is when I'm going too fast the text begin to flicker and looks blurry, unless if I increase the FPS at 60, so the text begin to be clearer. But I need to make it run at 30 fps .
More details:
I'm trying to move my text at 350 pixels / seconds which give me a displacement of 11.6 pixels per frame when going at 30 Fps and when going at 60 fps it give me a displacement of 5.83 pixels per frame.
What I've tried:
- I've tried to apply an horizontal blur to my text to reduce in an attempt to reduce the flickering of the text but it didn't worked out.
- I've tried to convert the text into graphic to see if I could get better results but it didn't help.
My Questions :
- Is there a suggested speed that we shouldn't go over if we want the text still be readable on screen while going at 30 Fps ?
- Also I would like to better understand why it's look better at 60 Fps than 30 Fps.
- Does anybody have any suggestions about my problem ?

Thanks again Kglad,
