Moving a clip with a custom scrollbar

This is a newbie question.
I've devised a custom scrollbar in this
test site (in section
Ego). The scrollbar is a movie symbol containing another symbol,
the scroll button. The scrollbar has code for moving the scroll
button and it works.
Now, on the left, you see a long text that I want to scroll
with the scroll button. Pretty simple.
The text is a movie clip containing several textfields.
So... how to synchronize both? Probably with a listener that
will modify the _y position of the movie clip according to a
movement ratio. I'm a little bit confused.
The text movieclip is called: 'contenu_mc'
The scroll bottom is called: 'goupillon_mc' (but is inside
'defilement_mc', the whole scrollbar)

As long as it has room in the timeline to move it, do the following:
1. Select the clip
2. Press +5. (period) and then enter.
You clip will then move 5 seconds forward in the timeline.
Hope that helps you.

Moving movie clips with ActionScript

I am trying to move four movie clips with actionscript in a
circler motion with two buttons, one to rotate the mc’s to
the left and one button to rotate the mc’s to the right. Here
is a link to what I am trying to do;

Yes, that's what the code I gave you is intended to do....
you replace that code with whatever action you need to take to turn
your movie around.
I have no idea what your movieclip is doing, but I'm guessing
by your response that if it was an arrow pointing left to right
(just an example), you want it to be pointing right to left when
the left arrow is pressed. If you want an immediate turn around,
then the simplest way to do that is to have another frame
containing the movieclip that it moves to where it faces the other
direction--and to have it appear turned around, from the toolbar
you select Modify -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.
So the movieclip would live inside another movieclip that has
two frames with stop()'s for each frame. In the first frame you
would have the subclip facing left to right, and in the second you
would have it facing right to left. If we call that 2-framed
movieclip "walker", the code I provided before would
become...

There are other accordion scripts out there but I am most

Spry has no custom scroll bars. Currently Spry (as of 1.6.1)
doesn't have drag and drop which would be required for a custom
scroll bar. Best you might be able to do would be to try to style
the browser provided scroll bars, but that's not valid CSS, and I
know that Firefox doesn't show the styled scrollbars (IE does).
Take a look at this page in IE:

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

Custom Scrollbar Help

Hello! Does anyone know any decent AS2 custom scrollbar tutorials? I'm looking to create a basic scrollbar that has a white up arrow and a white down arrow, but none of the tutorials I've tried end up working properly..... I've done way more complex stuff without any issues, so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with scrollbars. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Nicole

Thanks! unfortunately you have to shell out $20 to view the tutorial found on that web page, but I did find another one that worked after I played around with it for a very, very long time. I'll post it incase anyone else would find it useful:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar.htm
After I altered the colors, content, and sizing, I saved the scroll area as it's own .swf. I then loaded it as an external movie clip into another page on my Flash site and it worked perfectly!

HTML Frames not using custom scrollbar in Flex 3 mx:HTML

I've been working on an app that uses a custom skin in Flex 3. The app has a help window. The help contains an HTML with frames. Problem is, the main app vertical scrollbar custom skin is being ignored for the HTML Frames scrollbar (what looks like the classic version of Halo - maybe). This only happens with frames. It happens no matter how or where I place my HTML or HTMLLoader. If I dont have frames the custom scrollbar is used. Is there a node im missing in my skin css (obviously not VScrollBar or ScrollBar - the two standard used by Flex)? or some other way to connect the HTML Frames scrollbar to my custom skin.
I'm not a noob but not an expert.
Thanks.

How Verizon WIreless Deals With A Customer's Issues With A Flawed Device

(link removed)
Let me start at the beginning…
I have had a bad history with phones during my 6 years I been with Verizon Wireless(VZW). All the phones I had with them always have some manufacturer issues. I either had to pay a deductible or was allowed to exchange it for free due to it still being under warranty. I had to go through this 14 times in under 6 years. For the most part, Verizon Wireless has been very helpful with these issues & the amazing service they provided as kept me a very loyal customer. These qualities even lead me to sign up for Verizon FiOS over Comcast when I moved into my new apartment.
On February 17th, 2014, I received my tax refund. Most of it was going to repairs for my car, but for a birthday gift to me, I wanted to upgrade my phone. At the time, VZW had a deal to trade in your old phone & upgrade to a new phone. Your trade in got $100 taken off the cost of your new phone. I thought that was a sweet deal since the phone I had, The Motorola Razr Maxx HD was my 4th replacement to replace my original phone from when I first upgrade my phone with a new contract 2 years ago, The Motorola Droid 3. The Razr Maxx HD was a good phone but not what I wanted, It did what it needed to do & the technology was steller. Just not my first choice in a phone.
Since the Droid 3 was no longer in production, i always had to get a replacement phone VZW saw fit for me to get. Now with my contract up & my opportunity to get a new phone, I knew what I wanted I wanted the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 now. It has so many amazing features, apps & it is the perfect phone for someone my size. I can easily text with it, I do not feel I will crush the phone holding on to it & all of the hardware in it is like nothing on the market at that time. I been researching the phone months before it came out & I knew once I had the money, this is the phone I wanted.
So I went to the VZW Store ready to make the exchange and have a phone I wanted finally for once in nearly 2 years. I got there to be helped my a gentleman named Teddy. He was eager to help me. I told him why I was there & instantly got the ball rolling. My phone I wanted was in stock, I was able to get $100 from the trade-in promotion. HE also informed me I could get a free tablet by just paying the taxes for it, A mere $15 & The Note 3 was on sale. I could walk out this day with a new phone AND a tablet for $172! So I agreed to it & all I had to do was pay. Then the problems started…
I was told I could not pay with my debit card. This was due to an issue of a returned payment. An issue I had with VZW due to their company in October 2013 in which they took 9 days to process my monthly bill payment to only return it when the funds was still available to complete it. So I had to leave the store to find an ATM to withdrawal the cash so I could purchase the phone & tablet. Once I came back, we tried to finish the sale. Now I was told I could not trade in my phone due to the fact VZW did not allow me to make debit payments because of their own error. I was told i could pay full price for the phone and I could not get the tablet. I declined & left the store.
Very upset, I called VZW’s customer service line to formally complain. They could do nothing to help me since no one, not even a supervisor could fix these restrictions to my account. This made me more upset, so I went above their head & reported my situation to The Better Business Bureau(BBB). Within 7 days, a Manager From VZW’s Home Headquarters, named Brian (removed), finally called me to resolve my issues. HE apologized, removed my account restrictions & was sending me A Galaxy Note 3 for my troubles free of charge. I wanted the tablet too but did not care at this point. I just wanted a phone I wanted for once & I can do without a tablet. I never went out of my way to get one before & I was not planning to now.
On February 25, I received my new phone. I instantly fell in love. The phone was the perfect size for me & it worked just like every review I read online said it would. Then on February 27th, the phone began to have charging issues. The factory charging cable that came the the phone began to have issues charging the phone, then not recognizing the charger at all. I called customer service to make a complaint. This is when I learned for the first time that The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a defect with it’s charging cable & charging the device. They told me I could either mail the cable for a replacement or try to get the replacement at a store. So I decided to go to the same VZW store to get the replacement.
Once I got there, I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to finally speak to someone. Once I did, I was told they had no chargers in store. All that could be done was call Samsung & have a replacement phone sent to me. I asked what would I do for a charger until then & they said I could use the micro USB charger from my last phone to charge it.
So I mailed the charger to Samsung, who said it would take 8-10 days to get my replacement. During this time, the phone began to now stop holding a long charge. So I again called customer service. I was again told to go to the VZW store to get a replacement charger. I went back to the store again to be told they could do nothing for me since I did not have to original charger. All I the could do was sell me a mobile charger for 50% off. Since i need my phone, I had no choice. I had to spend $30 now on a device to help my faulty one.
March 6th, my replacement charger arrived. I was happy because now I can charge my phone with the proper charger & get a full battery life from it. That same day the charger had the same issues again. So i instantly took it to the Verizon Store to be told I need to call customer service for a replacement phone. So I return home to see in my mailbox is my VZW bill. The statement says my bill is $400! Verizon Wireless & Brian (removed) had charged me full price for my phone despite what he told me when he called me.
I instantly called his office to only get his answering machine. I left a very angry yet respectful message explaining my disgust with what he & VZW have done since I got this phone. I said I refuse to pay anything until this issue is fully resolved. I then proceeded to file another complaint to The BBB. This time I would get no response from VZW. Instead i had to call and chat online with their customer service lines for over a month to have a REFURBISHED device, a replacement battery & a generic charging cable sent to me. My phone still has charging issues & I must travel around DAILY with my mobile charger to make it a whole day to be able to use my device.
Verizon Wireless and Brian (removed) will not resolve this issue for me. Instead they have suspended services to my phone and are forcing me to pay the full price for the phone or having my service “permanently discontinued”.
I am left with no choice but to pay this by next month. I need my phone for personal, business & emergency reasons just like everyone else. I can not pay this AND an early termination fee. Verizon Wireless has done nothing to help me & now I am stuck in a contract for the next 16 months with a company that has done this to me during the last 2+ months. I have a improper working phone and they get $400 for it and Brian (removed) gets his commission.
Before I pay this bill, I am making one last complaint to The BBB & I am spreading my story across social media like wildfire, I am hoping someone at Verizon Wireless sees this. MAYBE they will do the right thing. Then again, they had the chance to & have not….
Mr. Brian (removed) & Verizon Wireless,
My Name IS Reginald (removed). Due to months of complaints you should very well know who I am. Since you will NOT help me, I have no choice but to play by your rules and pay you ridiculous cost for a phone despite the act of what I was verbally told. You & your company you work for have had countess times to make this right & you have not. I might have to be stuck in a situation like this, but the entire internet will now learn of your actions & how you treat people. Maybe this will teach you all how to properly treat your paying customers. Someone can still make this right. You have my number, but you would have to reactivate it to contact me though.
Regards,
Reginald (removed)

How do I move a clip with transitions attached on the primary storyline?

One more frustrating problem with the mysterious magnetic timeline: on the priumary storyline I created a text clip with a gap clip on each side, then added cross dissolve at the beginning and end of the clip so that it fades in and out to black:
Now I want to reposition this text in the timeline, mantaining the fade in/out at the head and tails. In FCP7 this was simple as a gap in the timeline simply showed black and the clip could be moved as one piece. In FCPX when I try to move the text clip with the P position tool, the transitions disappear after repositioning. Extremely frustrating:
If I select the clip and the fades together, plus the gap clip at the end, and move them together with the Position tool then the fade out is retained, but the fade in still disappears. I've also tried rolling from the fade in from the gap clip before it, but instead of rolling the clip ahead this shortens the fade (I think the behavior of trimming and rolling transitions is totally wacky). The trim tool is also useless in this situation as you can only select one edit point at a time with it.
The only solution I found is to cut the gap clip before the transition, then move the text clip and transitions with the P tool. This will create two abuting gap clips before the text clip, but allow the transitions to remain intact. Not hard, but annoying to have to do
Often I have to adjust the position of a text clip in the timeline like this after adding the transitions to get the timing right. Is there any way to move the clip while retaining the transitions at the beginning and end? It would be so much easier to be able to roll the edges of the gap clips so that I didn't have to make extra edits and workarounds.
The problem seems to be that the gap clip acts as like a regular black slug video clip in some cases, but not in other case. When you move a clip in the primary storyline a gap clip is automatically created to fill a gap -- okay, fine. But you can roll the edges of a video clip with the P tool, but not a gap clip. ***?
I'm using the latest update, 10.0.8. I will be submitting this to Apple as well....

I am trying to move the text clip forward with the transitions still attached. The difference is that in FCP7 you can leave a gap before a dissolve and it will fade in from black. If you move the text clip, the dissolve moves with it, still attached.
In FCPX however, the gap has to be a gap clip. So the dissolve is attached to both the gap clip and to the text clip. Once you put the dissolve on the edit point, there is no way to move the text clip forward or back on the timeline without deleting the dissolve. Or, if you move the clip forward or back with the Position tool (necessary to create a gap) then the transitions just disappear.
Basically, I am looking to roll the transition with the clip.
I could use the opacity handle on the text clip (using "show video animation") in stead of a dissolve, but then I have no control over the shape of the dissolve curve and I'd have to add extra handles to the text clip to center the dissolve where I want it.
Regarding "I very seldom use the position tool. Rolling the gap clips can be done with the regular arrow tool - *that* is one example of the magnetic timeline working for you."
This is true, but clips behave differently when you you roll with the P tool vs the A tool. With the A tool, other clips are magnetically rippled forward or back on the timeline to maintain their relative relationship and avoid all gaps. With the P tool, video clips maintain their position on the timeline, creating or trimming gap clips when a gap is created or filled. The problem arises when a transition is attached to the clip you are moving or trimming.
I understand in priniciple why it behaves the way it does, but it's inconvenient in this case, and inconsistent with the normal behavior of gap clips when a transition isn't involved.
In my mind the transition should be anchored to the video clip, not to both the video and gap clip when there is a transition between the two.

How to create a custom scrollbar?

Is it possible to create the exact same scrollbar in Adobe Edge? If so, how do I go about doing this?

Hi.

Flex 4: Custom ScrollBar not working in Custom DropDownList

Hello,
I'm having an odd issue that I just cannot figure out. I have a custom DropDownList .as component (to pass color values) and a custom skin. In this skin I am using a custom Scroller (same AS file component with mxml skin). When I use this configuration, clicking on the scrollbar just closes the DropDown. If I remove the skin from my custom scrollbar it works, which leads me to believe it has something to do with the DropDown skin. Even if I revert my custom Scroller to the spark Scroller, it still doesn't work. I've narrowed it down to what seems like a problem with my DropDownList skin.
Not really sure what code to put here, but all I've been doing is right clicking my project and making new ActionScript components and MXML skins from the default skin. Here is my DropDownList skin, not sure if I should paste any other code? I have no idea what would be causing this, so I don't really know what code to place.

Can I create a custom scrollbar for my spark datagrid

Basically I'm trying to customize the look of my spark datagrid.
I'd like to change the header appearance and I'd also like to create a custom scrollbar.
If only Catalyst would implement a custom datagrid component. I mean the datagrid is a very popular component, isn't it?

You need the password for free apps as well as for paid apps. The only ways that you can control what your child downloads is for you to supervise while the downloading is taking place or by totally restricting download apps with restrictions.
When you enter your password and download content, you have 15 more minutes to continue downloading before you have to enter the password again. So if you download and app - then give the iPad to your child - he or she can continue downloading apps or music or any content for the next 15 minutes without any restrictions. IF you sign out of your account, then the child can no longer download. IMHO - You should NOT give your password to your child. That really is not a good practice.
You can set restrictions on the iPad so that the child cannot download any apps at all. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>On. Then you will have to enter a passcode for the device which you do not want to forget (if you do, you have to restore the device) so if you do this remember your passcode. You can then go to the apps settings within the restrictions and Enable Restrictions and turn off Installing Apps.

Merging clips with diff Aud Vid sources

Does anyone know a way to successfully merge Audio & Video from separate sources with diff TC to make an independent clip but keep the same TC from the Video? I have video from DV CAM tapes, but the audio was recorded on DATs. The TC on the DATs is screwed up. I lined up the vid/aud according to the slates and made sequences, then made subclips from the sequences. I'm unable to make clips from these sequences, and having problems with match frame when I cut in the sequences as clips. I know this is confusing, if anyone has any advice, please let me know! Thanks!!!

I lined up the vid/aud according to the slates and made sequences, then made subclips from the sequences.
If you can go back to this point in your workflow - that is, if you still have the sequences available - try this...
Select a video clip and the audio clips that you've lined up with that video clip in the Timeline and press Command-L to link them
(The clip names in the Timeline should now be underlined)
Drag the newly-linked clips back to the Browser. If you linked correctly, they should show up as a single video clip (with audio)
(I'd highly recommend both renaming this clip - which will have the name of your original video clip - to reflect the fact that it has audio from the DAT, as well as moving this clip into a separate bin from your capture files. When you use this clip to edit, you should not have issues with Match Frame, since FCP sees this as a clip)
Rinse and repeat for all your files/clips
Or have you tried that and had no luck?

Custom Scrollbar Broken in 11.5

It appears as though the "Custom Scrollbar" library behavior is slightly broken in Director 11.5. It works sometimes, but other times it behaves erratically - text scrolls down but not up, or jumps around - arrows work properly but dragger doesn't, etc...
The script says it hasn't been updated since 2000
Has anyone else seen this, and does anyone have a fix? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I'm seeing the issue in both authoring (mac) and in projectors (mac & win). It's a text member containing static text. The font is Arial, with variations in size, color, and length.
The arrows seem to generally work OK - the biggest problem is with the dragger. If you drag it up and down without letting go it usually works, but if you drag it too the bottom and let go and then re-grab it and try to move it back to the top in stops working.
Attachments are disabled in the forums so I've temporarily made a test file available, here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ghosting occurs in shape tweens in clips with scale9Grid active.

Why does ghosting occur in shape tweens? Is this some kind of rendering bug? I seem to keep running into stuff like this
(sorry, first post had image that was not cropped properly by MSPaint and had tons of white space; I fixed it)
--Background (feel free to skip if TL;DR): My SkinnedButton class supports states for DEFAULT, ROLLOUT, ROLLOVER, PRESS, RELEASE, RELEASEOUTSIDE, TRACKOVER, TRACKOUT, DRAGOVER, DRAGOUT, DRAGDROP, plus all variations of SELECTED_* states in addition to a "selectedMask" and "focusMask" display objects that are automatically arranged, docked, and made visible to suit not only the button state, but also (at least in the case of "focusMask") taking into account the manor in which it entered a particular state (via keyboard, via mouse, via assignment, what the drag source origin was, exact origin clip, custom tracked drag source, whether a drag even began, was cancelled, etc.). It dispatches events for all of these states and has fallback chains for any that are missing, since they're all classified into simple states out, over, and down. For example, if no RELEASE state is defined (can be either property named "mc_release" or "release" label on "skin" MovieClip), then it will progressively fall back to ROLLOVER, ROLLOUT, and finally DEFAULT until one is defined. The bare minimum for a functional button is to define a clip for the default state.
So anyway, I wanted to animate my "release" state by having the button collapse and expand, and I discovered this odd ghosting behavior. This is just a simple reproduction of the problem with no special logic, just a shape tween on a clip with scale9Grid active. It appears as though Flash isn't re-rendering the bottom most shape as its exposed by the tweened shape on the layer above:ShapeTweenGhosting.fla - Google Drive
I suspect this is occurring because of the active scale9Grid, since the ghosting goes away when you turn it off, but then the button is all distorted. Turning on cacheAsBitmap exhibits the same behavior. Again, it's not a performance issue, it's just incorrectly rendering. I don't see any documentation stating shape-tween animations are not allowed in clips with scale9Grid applied. The shapes themselves appear to be rendering correctly based on the scale9Grid (i.e. without distortion), but the ghosting is a problem.
Here is an even more pronounced example with a large shrinking and expanding oval shape:

I posted a bug here: Bug#3767678 - Ghosting occurs in shape tweens in clips with scale9Grid active
Continued experimentation revealed it occurs on the y axis too, and depends on how much you scale the clip.
At 99%, 100%, and 101%, no ghosting is observed. At 110%, it occurs a little bit. At 120%, the ghosting is very pronounced. I suspect the problem is arising due to inaccurate calculations of the redraw regions, which may not be taking into account certain scaling factors, perhaps such as stroke widths; however, I reduced all stroke widths to zero (hairline), and the ghosting still occurred, so something is not quite right.
