FAQ: How do I create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst?

A common challenge in web design is finding space in the available window to display all of the necessary content. One solution is to create scrolling panels. A panel creates a well-defined container for content in the user interface. By adding scrolling content and a scroll bar, you can place a large amount of information in a limited space. To create a scrolling panel in Flash Catalyst, you need:
An object to define the panel area, such as a rectangle shape (optional)
Scrolling content, such as a long block of text or a series of images (required)
A scroll bar used to scroll the content (recommended)
Follow these steps in Flash Catalyst Help to create a scrolling panel:
Create a scroll panel component
There are also video tutorials showing examples of different scrolling panels:

  • 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.

  • FAQ: How can I create a scrolling gallery of images?

    You can use Flash Catalyst to create galleries, for example a scrolling list of thumbnails that display larger images when clicked. Here are some tutorials that explain how:
    Create a photo gallery (using list interactions), on the FlashCats blog
    Create a data list component -- Don't let the title scare you, a "data list" is a really powerful component to get to know better; it enables creation of very creative visual things like galleries. When you need repeating items, consider using a data list.

    Hi there,
    You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
    If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

  • How do you create a scrolling banner in Dreamweaver CS4?

    How do you create a scrolling banner/marquee in DreamWeaver 4?  I can't find anything about scrolling banners in the documentation or in the several books I've searched.  Thanks.

    Dreameaver can't create something like that out of the box, you need to use some type of script for the 'scrolling' to work.
    This is pretty good, with lots of variations:

    You may find something listed here that may give you an idea:

    or go over to www.jquery.com  (that's one of the popular frameworks being used at the moment for image slidehows/banners/galleries etc).

    While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

  • How do I reuse a custom component in Flash Catalyst?

    All-
    I'm sure this is easy, I simply can't figure it out.  I've created a custom component in Flash Catalyst with two states, open and closed.  I'd like to reuse this component in my app with different text assest.  How is this done?  Duplicating the component isn't available in this version...do I need to recreate the whole thing with different text?
    Cheers,
    `me

    If you look in the library panel, there should be an entry for your custom component - probably something like CustomComponent1.mxml. Drag this out onto the artboard to create a new instance of the component.
    In the case of a custom component, you can't change much on the second instance. If you have something like a text input skin though, you can change the text it is displaying for each instance.
    We are working on making this sort of thing easier in the future, so stay tuned

  • How do I create a scrolling slideshow in iMovie?

    So I know how to make a basic slideshow in iMovie, but I'd like to create a "scrolling/sliding" slideshow (see link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXit8kxCCTg). That video uses videos, however, I'm using still pictures. The pictures can all just be side by side too, they don't have to stack like one on top of the other (I'll edit all my photos before hand to make them the same height). I'm using iMovie '11. I'll probably have 150-300 pictures all together. I'd also love to add a timeline to the bottom of the pictures to scroll with the pictures...should I just add that in to each individual picture before hand, and then put it all into iMovie, or can I do it all in iMovie? Also, towards the end of that youtube video, it all starts scrolling backwards....is there a way to do this???
    Basically, I'd like to create a scrolling picture timeline with continuous text scrolling across the bottom that I can also play in reverse. Is this even possible in iMovie? Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. This is time sensitive. I really need to know how to do this by Friday. THANKS!!!!!

    I agree with John that you could do this in Final Cut Pro X and Motion, but there is probably a plugin that you can purchase that would do the hard work in Motion for you.
    I think it might be technically possible to do this in Motion and export out in a file that iMovie can import, but in the video example, there is a lot more going on such as multicam syncing that would require Final Cut Pro X. Motion's strength is not to use it as a video editor. It is best used as a way to create a special effect that you can then use in a FCPX project.  (just my opinion)
    Here are some example of FCPX plugins. There are hundreds more.

  • How can I create multiple front panels for a single block diagram?

    Hello,
       I have developed a VI with multiple controls and indicators that needs to run on computers with screen resolutions ranging from 800x600 to 1680x1050. The problem I'm having is that the front panel does not properly scale for this range of resolutions by checking the options in the "VI properties" option. Is there a way to create multiple front panels of various sizes for my block diagram and programmatically select the appropriate front panel based on the screen resolution?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    See the attached Zip file.
    I have two different front panels.  Open either one and run it.  They both call MainCode.vi which takes the references passed to it and register for events.  From there, it does all the work of the code you would have put in your front panel .vi.
    This way each front panel can be laid out however you want for each screen resolution.

  • How do I create a new frame using Flash CS5 on a Mac so I can add more pictures to my website?

    I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward question that I hope you can answer if you write code with a Mac or are at least familiar with the process on a Mac?  The person I have been working with to create my photography website uses a PC.  Here is the problem.  I am trying to use my Mac in order to create frames so that I can add 5 more images to a portfolio that presently has 15 images.  The code is in an index.fla file.  If I want to create a new frame in the index.fla, let's say LOAD CODE 381 and want to use the same text that is already present in LOAD CODE 380 but with a few edits, I have no trouble going to the Action-Movie Clip and finding LOAD CODE 380 in the left hand column.  The problem is, on a Mac, how do I create frame LOAD CODE 381 and then how do I copy and paste the text from LOAD CODE 380 into LOAD CODE 381?  It looks like on a PC one can open LOAD CODE 380 in the Action-Movie Clip, highlight the text then right click on the red rectangular box in the timeline.  By doing so (on a PC) one sees a drop down menu that gives the option to "copy key frame".  What is the equivalent of the "copy key frame" on a Mac?  I can see where on the Mac you can go to Edit >copy.  Is this the equivalent of "copy key frame" on a PC?  If so, once I "copy" the text how do I create the new LOAD CODE 381 so that I can paste the text into the new frame?
    I WOULD BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO ANYONE WITH THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION!  THANK YOU!!!!!

    Sorry not to be more clear.  It is a name assigned to one of the 
    frames by the person who originally designed the website and is shown 
    in the list of about 150 action frames that were created in this 
    particular fla document.  This "list" comes up in the left hand column 
    of the Action-Frame box. When I click on Load Code 380 which is half 
    way down the column of frames, the following text comes up on the 
    large screen to the right of the column of 130 frames.
    IMAGE.gotoAndPlay("start");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15title.txt", "_root.IMAGE.TITLE");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15price.txt", "_root.IMAGE.PRICE");
    loadMovie("data/series01/about.swf", "_root.IMAGE.ABOUT");
    IMAGE.mc_pic.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    IMAGE.mc_picTHUMB.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    This text is what I am trying to transfer to copy then paste into a 
    new frame after which time I want to slightly edit the text.  I am not 
    a programer so I apologize if I am not using all of the correct 
    terminology.
    Thank you again,  Jon

  • How to create an ad banner using Flash Catalyst

    This should be an easy question to answer...I've been able to create a variety of ad banners using Flash Catalyst but none of the online tutorials show how to link the ad banner to a URL...i.e. when someone clicks on the banner.  I don't like the idea of having to create a button + Go To URL (on click) because the button doesn't appear on all screens/states, etc.
    Is there a way to turn the entire project into a button without losing the animation action?  i.e. so that no matter what state the banner is in, if someone clicks on it, they go to the URL?

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your advice.  It's for our own sites, so we can accept the overhead.
    The animation is simply fade in image, fade out image, fade in text message, fade out text message, fade in next image, etc.
    So, when you say "they are instead wrapped inside a single custom component", I understand it conceptually but need a few details:
    1.  Does this mean I first create the custom component (before doing anything else)?
    2.  At what point to I import/load my Photoshop file with all of the layers?
