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.

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:

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

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.

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:

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 link one scroll bar with two dynamic text boxes.

How to link one scroll bar with two dynamic text boxes.
If i move scroll bar in one text box,automatically text will
be moved in another text box.But scroll bar is not visible.
Can you please help me.
Thanks in advance.

See the following article:
JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field
And see if iOS can even handle the sample form.
iOS and android devices are not a powerful as your desktop of laptop computer and have limited support for JavaScript within PDF forms. This limitation for specific apps ranges from none to quite a bit but not all JavaScript.

Scroll bar problems

I have several text boxes that pull text from external text files. I drag and instance of the UIScrollBar into the text box and it snaps to the right side just fine. When I test the movie in Flash, the scroll bars work fine. When I test off the server with Firefox, you can see the scroll bar but you cannot use it. It looks similar to a scroll bar in a text box without enough text to scroll, but I have plenty. When I use IE, the first time you visit a page it is the same way. If you click on another page, then navigate back the scroll bar will work. Like I said, I drug out an instance and named them. I've looked through several books but can't find any answers. Thoughts?

You probably need to use the update() method of the UIScrollbar after the text is assigned to the textfield. In some cases you can get away with it when testing locally, but in the case where the data file can take an amount of time to load, I've found it necessary to refresh the scrollbar using that method.

How do you add a scroll bar to a scrolling text field in a folio?

I've created iPhone and iPad folios with multiple pages. There are scrolling text fields on each page. The fields scroll as designed, but the scroll bars on the text fields only appear while actually scrolling. Is there a way to have them always visible so the user knows there is more hidden info? The only bars that are constantly visible are the page scroll bars. Thanks!

Why is your content pane null? I thought the content pane was the top-level in all windows? If you want complete control over the location of a list box, you want to set the layout of the content pane to null... the way I almost always do this is the other way around, to create my own panel and use setContentPane instead:
JPanel content = new JPanel(null);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(myListBox);
scroll.setBounds(380, 10, 500, 500);
content.add(scroll);
setContentPane(content);

Scroll Bars Missing In New Item Dialog Box When Accessing Other Site Collection

I have run into a problem I am hoping someone can quickly inform me of what I am doing wrong. I am creating 2 hyperlinks on a page that will create new items in one of 2 separate lists (1 on each site collection). I tried using the same code in my CEWP for
each and encountered a funky issue, whenever I access a different site collection with the below code the dialog box says DIALOG for the title and there are no vertical scroll bars. Does anyone know how to tweak the below code (or improve it) to bring back
the scroll bars for the dialog box?
<div class="ms-rteThemeFontFace-1" style="text-align: center; text-decoration: underline"><a class="ms-rteFontSize-3" onclick="javascript:NewItem2(event,"Site URL IS Here/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=8&ListId={22980de9-0d12-4def-9df7-95de34b1ebe5}&RootFolder=");javascript:return false;" href="/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=8&ListId={22980de9-0d12-4def-9df7-95de34b1ebe5}&RootFolder=" target="_self"><strong>Add New Project Item</strong></a></div>
I am eternally grateful to anyone that can tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

Needed scroll bar in text field

Hi,
I have two text fields continuously. Sometimes either one get expanded. I kept all the fields in subform type positioned. Comments fields are getting enlarged when it has more number of lines. Lets say, If first field get expanded, it override the second one.
so I want to give scroll bar in a text field.
Thanks in advance.
Ram

You should not use positioned subforms at all. If you need to move a field right for example, the wrap it into a subform and set the left margin of the subform. Do not use positioned subform and just move the field. You will probably resolve your problem if you remove content: positioned on all subforms relevant to your problem (for example all parents of the text fields).
Use content flowed and layout autofit as often as possible!
