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,
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.

Integrating Flash CS3 with XML
Hello, I done a tutorial from learnflash.com on Integrating
Flash CS3 with XML, and I can't figure out why when the file is
published the scrollbar component doesn't work.Yep, big difference. Flash CS3 is the earlier version of
Flash, so you can't open CS4 files in CS3. You are probably
confusing CS3 with AS3, which is supported by both versions of
Flash CS#. -
Hello, how are you?
I tell her that I'm developing a flash content with as2 and I have a very simple problem, I hope you can help me
I happened to create a movie clip and inside to create a scroll that is two isntancias,
I mean:
in the first frame create a button in the 6 to 5 buttons and an action to melleve the sixth frame and another to return. (Elemental truth)
Now I have a problem. In creating a movie clip instance name to each button and in the average place the next fram as2,
boton.onRollOver name = function () {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "eqtiqueta");
because what I want is that from inside the movie clip, go to the scene proncipal to a frame that is three in the label name.
however, does not work.

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4
Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
ChandrakantYou have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others. -
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.

Problem displaying dynamically loaded text in Flash CS3
I created a Flash CS3 application that does not display
dynamically loaded text (from internal AS3 scripts) on 3/6 of my
client's computers. All computers run IE 6 and Flash Player 9. I
cannot replicate the problem on any computer in my department. The
problem seems to be related to Flash Player 9 or a browser
setting/IT restriction. Has anyone encountered this? If so, have
you found a solution?
If I cannot find a solution, then I will need to almost
completely redo the application.
One slightly insane idea I have considered is to, if
possible, convert dynamically loaded text to an image real-time. Is
that possible?
Btw, I have created a font in my library. Should I try
manually embedding the font from the Properties menu and selecting
all characters?
Thanks in advance.yes, even though you may be using a font from the library,
you still have to specify that each text field that uses that font
embeds the font, and you'll need to select all characters(well not
all, unless you require all the different scripts of the world -
upper-case, lower-case, numerals and punctuation usual suffices).
I bet if you checked, the computers where the font did not
appear did not have the font on their system.
Good luck

Horizontal scroll bar in tabular form with columns freeze
Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have to create a tabular form in which the first three columns should be in freeze mode and it should have a horizontal scroll bar.
with the help of Google i found an example [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:46]
I want the same thing as in the example but with first three columns in freeze mode
But could not find out how to create this column freeze and horizontal scroll bar.
Let me know if you have any idea on this
Thanks in advance,
AnanthHi,
It is easy to look at the page source and see what they have done
if you search for var d1 = document.getElementById("d and d1 you see some javascript doing the magic.
Thanks -
I found a cool new font and would like to scroll text like a
news ticker. I have created my dynamic text box, set it up the way
i want the text to look, and set it to scroll. I know how to write
the code for a vertical scroll, how would i set it up to scroll
horizontally?
the text in the text box wants to set itself up as vertical
lines instead of horizontally as well. How can i change that?
Thanks for the help.
JoshHere's some code for a horizontal text scroller I just threw
together.
horizontal_txt.autoSize = "left";
horizontal_txt.text = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of
the printing and
typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's
standard dummy
text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a
galley of type and
scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived
not only five
centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,
remaining
essentially unchanged.";
var intervalId:Number;
function scrollMe():Void {
horizontal_txt._x -=20;
if (horizontal_txt._x <= -horizontal_txt.textWidth) {
horizontal_txt._x = 550;
intervalId = setInterval(this, "scrollMe", 100);
Basically, I'm just moving the text box -20 pixels in the _x
position each
time the function is called (you can mask it if you'd like).
Once it determines that the inverse of the width of the text
in the textbox
is less than or equal to it's _x position, it resets the
textbox back to the
right edge of the play area.
To test, just make a dynamic, single line textbox named
horizontal_txt and
place it at 550 on the stage.
You could get more sophisticated and have an array of news
that it cycles
through, and have it pause if the mouse of over, etc. I'm
sure you've seen
those things before.
Anyway...let me know if you have any problems implementing.

Set selected text as variable (CS3 with JS)
How can I set a piece of selected text as a string variable?
I'm running InDesign with InCopy CS3 on a Windows XP computer.If you mean "assign the selected text to a variable", then you could do this:

Soundcloud Widget in Flash CS4 with AS2?
Hi
I am making a band website for a friend and they want me to put their soundcloud widget onto the website so people can listen to their music on the website, I've looked all over for a tutorial or even a code I could put in but no luck! I have their soundcloud HTML code which is
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fusers%2F3555103&auto _play=false&show_artwork=true&color=a80a11"></iframe>
..I literally have no idea where to start with this.. can anyone help?
ThanksDoesn't sound like we're seeing the same thing. I can create a swatch at, say, green at 50% alpha. Then create a new square and fill it with a different color at different alpha, say 100% alpha. Then I can apply the swatch, and it's the expected saved color, green at 50% alpha. That's true that the alpha setting will be remembered between fill color selections, but the swatch for me is remembering the correct value.

Help finding Mac screensaver with scrolling text (Windows Marquee-esque)
I have been searching the internet somewhat intensely for a scrolling text screensaver for my Macbook. I found an Apple download called "message", but that is wayyy too fancy for me. I can barely even see the text with all of the crazy fonts and weird zooming. The emphasis is not on the text for that screensaver.
Something like the Windows Marquee would be fine, though I am sure somewhere out there is a tricked-out version for Mac. I would just want to be able to read the text clearly, as I intend to use the screensaver to help me to memorize some text.
Maybe I am overlooking an obvious screensaver already loaded on the Macbook, but I am surprised that Tiger does not come with such a screensaver. Any suggestions and links? Thank youI think you should be able to find something that works for you using Quartz Composer. As an example, here is a link to someone else that was working on horizontal scrolling text. I don't know if their project got completed (or if it's currently included in Quartz Composer) but the .qtz file on this page will load in QuickTime so you can see the results as of this posting.
http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/weblog/2005/05/towardshorizontal_scrollingi.html
You get Quartz Composer by downloading the Xcode tools. I'm looking through the example libraries now to see if there's something you could use in the current examples. -
Horizontally centering flash .swf" and disallowing horizontal scroll??
Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
I made my website in Flash Catalyst, and I made the width 1700px and the height 1200px. I made the width large because I wanted it to look good in the largest screen resolutions, but my biggest problem now that I've finished making the website is putting it up. Simply embedding it makes it scroll horizontally all the way to 1700px, which isn't good for those with small browsers.
Originally, I was planning on making the flash file the background in CSS (using body {background: url(FILE.swf) no-repeat #000 top center}) but then I found out you can't put .swf's as backgrounds.
Basically, I want to know if it's possible to center the .swf horizontally, and then disallow horizontal scrolling. I want to keep vertical scrolling,
Any help appreciated!Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
Yes, but it introduces other problems. With scrolling disabled, you might not be able to see all the page. I DO NOT recommend what you are trying to do. Flash scaling would most likely give you better results.
Background images if intended to cover a large area are typically very small images which are repeated to create a pattern. Using one large image will still never cover all the possible screen resolutions or page sizes... for example larger than 1700 or taller than 1200 pixels.
Centering requires a set dimension, like 1700 so auto set margins would center it, but it still may not cover 100% as using a width of 100% would.
That being said, turn off horizontal scroll and leave vert on with:
overflow-y: auto !important;
overflow-x: hidden !important
then you'll need to use z-indexing to lay anything else over the top of you background .swf
Here a sample page that should get you going... dimensions are smaller so you can see how it works... the principle is the same.
