Adding scroll bar to a text box

Is there a way to add a scroll bar to a text box? I am designing a website using ID (in the web view) which I am then giving to a web person to implement. I have one page that is longer than the others, where I would like to be able to scroll the text. I would really appreciate a step by step instruction on how to add a scroll bar to this text box.
Thank you so much.

The point is that exporting to Flash makes creating the webpage in ID seamless. I am not familiar with a
way to import an ID file into a Dreamweaver HTML. ID relies on pages that get converted to
frames on the Flash timeline which makes switching between pages, if you know enough ActionScript, a breeze.
However I did find this link which outlines some compatibility between ID and DW:

Scroll bars onto a text box

Hello,
I've got a dynamic text box in my flash file that reads a txt
file in a directory for information. I'd like for it to have scroll
bars like the ones in the component scrollpane.
In the help file, it says that the scrollpane can be added to
a text box, but when I click on it further for more information it
only says it can hold swfs, jpgs etc...
is it possible to make those flashmx default scroll bars onto
a text box?
I'm using Flash MX 2004.

You can do that but you would have to install the MX
componentes into MX2004 first. They used to be availabele at
Macromedia for downlaod, I guess they are somewher to be found at
Flash donloads at adobe still now.

Scrolling bar with external text

Hi,
I'm trying to create a scroller bar with external text on Flash, but not suceeding much. I want to do it in AS 2.0, as my whole website is created in AS 2.0. I found a tutorial on Kirupa for Flash MX 2004, but does not work with Flash CS4, which is what I'm running.
What I need is, basically, to have a scroll bar to scroll up and down an external text (XML or .txt). I just don't seem to be able to do it. Also, is there a way of customizing the scroll bar?
Thanks for the help!

Hey, I had to do a VERY similar thing for a student project a
few months ago. If you go to
Flashkit.com, you can find
tutorials on how to import XML and CSS or XSL. I was able to do it
and I don't know a lot of actionscript. If you want to see how I
used it, go to
the University of Scranton's MIT
website.
Hope that helps!

Adding scroll bars to text

I have a limited amount of space with a lot of text. How do I limit the space by adding scroll bars

Without using iFrames, you can do this pretty easily using CSS. Add the following to the css for your text container...
.yourcontainer {
     height:300px;
     width:500px;
     overflow-y:auto;
     overflow-x:none;
then in the html, add the class to your container...
<div class="yourcontainer">All of your text here</div>
In the above example, the container div will be 500 pixels wide and 300 tall with a scrollbar if the text cotent gets longer than the height of 300 pixels.

Scroll bar error in list box

Hello all,
I work for a company using BI 7.0.
We provide reports in Bex Web 7.0 to our users. They requested us for a problem in list box of selection (or filter).
for example the user wants to filter on a characteristic. This characteristic has multiple possible values.
He chooses a value on the first page of the list box. then he wants to select an other value and uses the scroll bar. So he clicks in the gap of the scroll bar in order to go to the next page of values. It happens correctly but we figured out that doing so the new page wasn't exactly the exact next values available.
Indeed for example the first page displays 10 values (from 1 to 10) so by clicking in the gap we should go to the 10 next values 11 to 20 but it is not what is happening because the displayed values are 13 to 22, so the values 11 and 12 were passed by the scroll bar and we need to do singles click on the scroll bar to display values 11 and 12.
Does someone have an answer for this issue ?
Thank you by advance.
Jérémy

Thank you for your answer Michael.

Dropdownbox scroll bar closes the dialog box

All,
I have a dialog box and a matrix layout with some controls inside of it.
I have set autoClose = true in the dialog box so that if I click away I would close it
my matrix layout has a dropdownbox. if I click on the scroll bar, then it closes my dialog box. if I use the mouse wheel, it stays open. is this a bug or is there a work around to this? this happens every time I click on the vertical scroll bar
Similarly, if I have a date picker and I click on the datepicker to open the calendar, then the dialog closes. this event only closes the dialog the first time. if I open the dialog and click on the date picker then it works fine.
any feedback is appreciated.
thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio,
It could be that the the Dialog somehow interprets the click event to happen outside the Dialog and thus closes it. Try to bind event listener to controls in the Dialog and then in that event handler call evt.stopImmediatePropagation() and evt.preventDefault(). Example:
"datePicker".bind("click", jQuery.proxy(function(event) {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.preventDefault();
}, this));
I think I could reproduce your problem with DatePicker in Firefox but not in Chrome. With Dropdown I couldn't reproduce it. Here's a jsbin explaining it:

Adding color information to a text box

Hi!
Is there any way I can automatically add (and update) color value information (HEX number, RGB values, etc) to a text-box? For example, I create a white square... then I "link" it to a text box, and the box is automatically populated with HEX: #FFFFFF, RGB: 255,255,255, etc
Thank you on advance!

Adding scroll bars to a frame

Hi, I have a frame that pops out from my applet, and I want to add scroll bars to this frame. Using JScrollPane does not work. The scrollbars do not show up even when the image that is displayed on the frame does not fit in the current frame size. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks.

Container c=getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JScrollPane pane=new JScrollPane(your Component or frame);
c.add(pane)

Adding scroll bars to jlabel

hi i'm new so be easy on me please... i am trying to figure out how to add vertical and horizontal scroll bars to my jlabel. I am using sun one studio 5 on this project which allows me to manually place vertical and horizontal toolbars but when i do that they don't work w/ the image that i'm trying to scroll...i know that i have to code so that the scroll bars know to function w/ the jlabel but thats all i know. please advise~ thanks

well, I don't know about doing things with Sun One Studio, but....
Generally, if you want to scroll something, you would create a JScrollPane instance and add a component to it's viewport. That component could be a JLabel, so you wouldn't be scrolling the label so much as scrolling the pane. The effect would probably be same thing you are trying to see.
You can use scrollbars in your own component, but the main reason not to do that is that managing the scrollbar states and dealing with paging and whatever is just a pain.
