Adobe Captivate 4 Adding a Scroll Bar to a Text Caption

I have a lot of text information to show on one slide and I'd like the user to have the ablility to stay on one slide but scroll down.
Is there any way to add a Scroll Bar to a Text Caption to allow this to function as described?

There is no way to add a scrollbar to a normal Captivate text caption.
There DOES however exist a widget that provides something simlar:

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

Hope that helps!

Adding a scroll bar

Hello
I have designed this website for my client... http://www.applebybowers.com/for_web/
They wish to add a vertical scroll bar to the middle where the majority of text is so that more text can be added if necessary without the res of the page disappearing out of view on smaller monitors.
Can anyone advise the best way to go about this.
Thanks

I'm not crazy about it either, but sometimes the client just won't change their mind no matter how much you try to persuade them!
It's actually only on one page that I need the scroll bar - http://www.applebybowers.com/for_web/news.html
The client would like a scroll bar here so that all of the news articles can be viewed on one page without the rest of the page disappearing off the monitor.
I read Bob's advice but now that I've come to have a go at adding the code I'm not sure where to add it. Also, do I need to add a div inside the table cell, and if so how do I do that? I've looked on a few forums and found similar bits of code to use but haven't got a clue where to include it...
<div style="overflow: auto; height: 100px; width: 200px;">Put your text or images or anything in here.</div>
Would someone please have a look at my code and advise me on what I need to do.
Thanks.

Adding a scroll bar to tabbed panel content?

I have set a specific height to tabbed panels and I don't
want them to expand according to content. Instead I want to add a
scroll bar to the tabbed panels. How can i do this?

Sure it's possible.
Edit the TabbedPanelsContent class in the CSS file.
Add a specific height to it and then add an overflow:auto;
rule to it.
.TabbedPanelsContent {
padding: 4px;
overflow: auto;
height: 200px;
When styling Spry Widgets, for the most part, just think of
them as HTML. Add a height and a scrollbar just as you would to any
DIV.
Hope this helps,
Don

Scroll bar with external text file

Hello all,
I need to make a flash movie with a graphic background with
text from an external file.
Ideally:
1) The text file would NOT have to be imported into the flash
movie. It would simply be in the same web folder as the flash file.
2) Even better the text file would have a separate css file
so I can change font size etc, while I tweak the movie, and get
client approval.
If 1 and 2 are not possible, then I can live with importing
the text file. But CSS would sure be a nice addition!
BTW I have Flaxh MX Professional 2004.
Thanks
Rowby

How to make the scroll bar in flex automate to focus on the new ui component added in the canvas?

Hi all ,
There is a canvas container where am adding charts in separate windows.
So whenever a new chart is added the scroll bar needs to set the focus on the present chart window.
For this i made the functionality for the canvas container to scroll whenever a new chart is added using the below code
canvasContainer.verticalScrollPosition = canvasContainer.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
But the calculations for the vertical position are not precise...
Is there anything else I should do to make the scroll happen automatically as the chart windows get added in the container ??
Any suggestions pls
Regards,
Ajantha

Many many thanks to Frank,
In the css,use the follwing style settings to hide the scroll bar
af|carousel::spin-bar{
visibility: hidden;
af|carousel::spin-h-previous-icon-style{
visibility: hidden;
af|carousel::spin-h-next-icon-style{
visibility: hidden;
af|carousel::spin-info{
visibility: hidden;
}

Scroll bar question

I am starting out with Dreamweaver (in fact website work in
general). I have created a template for the site's pages and within
the table, one of the cells I've left editable for text. This cell
is set inside several other surrounding cells, each cell pixel
based. I created a style sheet for this text window and I want it
to, among other things, add a scroll bar when the inserted text is
too much for the cell. I add the text and then apply the style and
while it adds other properties of the style, it's not adding the
scroll bar (set to auto), but instead is extending the cell (and
table and adjacent cells) downward. I had thought that the template
would prevent this from occurring (only editable region is this
text field cell).
Sorry if I sound like a newbie...but I pretty much am.
Thanks for any assistance, Paul

Horizontal scroll bar in selectOneMenu tag

Hi,
I am using selectOneMenu tag to show the data. The data size is larger than the size of selectOneMenu tag. Inspite of increasing the size of tag,
I want to add a horizontal scroll bar.
Can someone please suggest me, how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
As suggested, I am using div tag to set the horizontal scroll bar in SelectOneMenu tag. The way I'm using it :-
<div style="overflow-x:scroll; width:140px;">
<h:selectOneMenu
          id="eventType"
          styleClass="standardInput"
          required="true"
          tabindex="40"
          onchange="clearMessage(this);"
          value="#{UserBean.activeEvent.eventType}"
          onkeydown="searchSelect( event);"
          onblur="searchBlur(event);" >
<f:selectItems value="#{ReferenceLists.eventTypeList}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</div>
This is adding the scroll bar outside the selectOneMenu tag but I want it in the dropdown window.
Please suggest me, how to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Rahul

Scroll Bar code in Awt Required Plz Help me

Hi,
My requirment is to add Vertical Scrollbar to the table.There are 12 rows in a table like from January to December.
I am able to see data of rows as jan,feb,mar,apr only .
i want to see the data of rows of next months by adding vertical scroll bar using Awt code.
I added vertical scroll bar using awt code. When i click on that Vertical scroll bar event is going to below method.
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
I tried with some logic inside above method but it is not working.what is the code i have to write inside the above method inorder to scroll the next months.
Plz Help me.
Thanks In Advance.........

But i want to do this code In Using Awt only......Well, a JTable is a Swing component so I have no idea what you are talking about.
To control the size of the table you can use:
table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(???);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );

Scroll bar creation

I am attempting to create a scroll bar for my text and am following the tutorial provided by Adobe.
Problem: I am unable to select parts of the scroll bar (i.e. up arrow, bar, thumb) to convert their behaviour. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when it comes time to select each part of the scroll bar I only can select the entire scroll bar...not any one part.

I've come to the same conclusion, it's the software. I had the same results when I ran the project in IE. It worked although the scroll bar was shorter than I had set it, but it worked. When I tried to go back and reset the length, it stopped working. I have shortened my text and reduced the font to make it fit without the scroll bar.
There are a number of other odd things that happen. After spending hours and hours on it, essentially testing the software, it's easy to come the conclusion of 'wonky' software. I love the idea of Flash Catalyst and someday the bugs will be smoothed out, but until then...

Scroll bar in Content Viewer

Hello everyone,
I have place three different height images into a frame and applied scroll bar using Content viewer. I am calling each image through a button.
My question is:
Can we control the scroll bar height limiation as per the image's height. Right now its taking the largest image's height as a reference, when i click and check the small height image, i see lot of white space in it.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Shiva

What do you mean you added a scroll bar? Do you mean a scrolling frame?
If so, no, you cannot adjust the size of that dynamically. That said, I still don't totally get what you're doing.
You can't click to move content in a scrolling frame, only an MSO.
Bob
