DYNAMICFIELD SCROLLBAR LOADING (HTML)TEXT FROM FILE

HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashApplications and UtilitiesUtilitiesDynamicField scrollbar loading (html)text from file

note: the scrollbar is also attachable to a ‘normal’ movieclip instead of the dynamically loaded text!

This looks like a regular scrollbar, but in fact it is not. This one loads it’s html formatted (!) text from a little .txt file located for example in the same folder as the .swf file.

Mousewheel scrolling is also enabled and of course the page slides with a smooth transition.

A very nice little something that you don’t see very often in flash scrollbars: the bar resizes with the page. So when you have a very long page, the scrollbar will be pretty short and when the page is short, the scrollbar will be long (or even invisible if the page fits in the textfield. Just like usual Windows scrollbars.

Q. Does it manage extremely long pages?

A. Yes it does. The textfield can be of unlimited height (which i tried op to 10.000 px, without slowing down the framerate at all)

Hey jurgenv,

Does your filea allow anchor tags. If so, how do I accomplish this. Does it take regular html code? Ive tried html anchor in the text file with no success. Can you help me out?

Thanks so much in advanced,

abertolucci, well the thing is that the track right now is no movieclip but only a square fill. So first you’ll have to make it a movieclip and give it a name.

Then you’ll have to check for the code where I set the scroller to _visible = false, and add a line to make the track _visible = false too. I think that’d be all.

oh and about the anchors, no that’s not possible. Flash doesn’t read these anchors and I don’t think it would even be possible to make your own flash code for that..

I was hoping this would be drag and drop – it is not. Be aware that it is scrolling a MOVIECLIP – not a text field
